Ocala, FL.

Gunshine State is cesspool for white scumbags.

My heart breaks for Ajike Owens and her sweet beautiful children.

My mind sharpens on stopping Florida and shitbag racists like Ron DeSantis from influencing our country.

im curious about what made you you. im curious about your taste in music. im curious about the way your mind thinks. im curious about how your body likes to be touched. im curious about your late night thoughts and how they make you feel. im curious about every single thing about you.

listen to disabled people 💖
Digital illustration of a large group of disabled people of different ethnicities, ages, and genders. Among the crowd are service and emotional support animals. There’s two smaller protest signs that read, ‘I shouldn’t lose benefits when I get married.’ And ‘ban subminimum wage’ the main sign reads, ‘disabled people are expert of their own lives and know what they need.’

“American ideas of race don’t apply in Europe” true! Very true! Y’all have race divisions like shrimp colors.

really think the vast amount of evidence we have for common herpes viruses causing a shitload of population morbidity is under investigated and definitely under treated.

to clarify, herpes is a big class of viruses that includes HSV1 (usually cold sores on your mouth), HSV2 (usually sores on your genitals), and herpes zoster (chicken pox!). HSV1 and 2 can infect any tissue and can be spread through casual contact, not just sexual contact. the majority of the human population will contract one or both if they live long enough. many people get HSV1 or 2 at birth or through postnatal contact with parents, family, or visiting adults. just holding or kissing a baby is enough contact to transmit herpes viruses.

so what happens is almost everyone gets these viruses and most people deal with it without catastrophic problems, but the evidence is building up that it may be responsible for a lot of illness that wasn't previously suspected. for example:

Report of a Case A woman aged 33 years presented with a 4-day history of intractable headache, photophobia, nausea, and neck and back discomfort. She had 3 previous hospital admissions for a similar disorder, the first and most severe of which occurred concomitantly with her initial outbreak of genital herpes. Results of her examination were remarkable for a low-grade fever and stiff neck. A contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain yielded normal findings. Results of CSF analysis showed a white blood cell count of 56/μL (90% lymphocytes), a protein level of 66 mg/dL, and a glucose level of 54 mg/dL. Results of PCR were positive for HSV-2. Her symptoms resolved shortly after treatment with intravenous acyclovir, and no further episodes were observed during a suppressive regimen of daily acyclovir in the ensuing 3 years.

that's just a bad migraine. i know dozens of people who have gone to the ER with identical symptoms and were given rescue meds and sent home. the only reason they found anything weird here is the spinal tap and PCR which is not standard procedure for a migraine admission. so who knows how many other chronic migraine sufferers actually have mild encephalitis or meningitis from an HSV infection.

they should probably just try everyone with weird resistant chronic illness symptoms on a course of acyclovir and see what happens. the side effects are minor and it doesn't really do anything long term so it should be in the general list of "stuff that might be making you feel bad that's easy to check for"

it's also apparently one of the main suspects for fibro

black people have been warning y'all about democrats and republicans being two sides of the same fascist coin for ages and yet every time we bring it up y'all call us russian bots or claim we're telling people not to vote and now look lmao. the same shit is happening again.
