If you need hearing aids, get hearing aids (if you can afford to). If you need bifocals, get bifocals. Don't let fear of being seen as old stop you from living your life, because aging sucks, but it's also a privilege not everyone gets access to.21 Apr 2026 15:21 +0000at://did:plc:ggk5iorblekim65knokejdgx/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjzbwqift22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/ashthestampede.bsky.social/post/3mjz5vpc5wc2rMy idiot sons from Community Magic Book 4, which is currently out with beta readers.
