#rate of infection

[rebellum]

I feel like... Perhaps... Arguing that transphobia is defined by murder and that anything other than murder doesn't even matter... May NOT be conducive to fighting for trans rights.

Like... people want the right to exist as they are. They want to have access to hrt and surgeries and prosthetics. People want access to clothes that fit them and reflect how they want to be seen. People want access to medical care (eg. Getting screened and treated for sex-based forms of cancer can be impossible if you have the "wrong" sex listed to receive those tests). People want to be respected and treated well. People want to not be sexually assaulted and beaten and abused. People want to have access to housing and jobs, and the protection to not lose those things for being trans. People want access to shelters for homeless people or survivors of domestic abuse. People want name changes.

Acting like all of those things don't matter because at least they weren't murderered by an individual (and instead die of suicide or state violence, or survive and suffer) isn't okay.

#'hey people are forcibly detransitioning you and raping and beating you and you lost your job and are going to be homeless and #probably die of infection from being stabbed for trying to go to the bathroom. but at least you arent part of a demographic that has a #higher murder victim rate! shhh just ignore that we dont actually have data on the murder rate of your group.' #do ppl like. forget state based violence exists. and that thats most violence minorities face. #idk man im just. mad about people on here acting like youre only oppressed if youre a perisex trans woman who was AMAB. #cause i exist at the intersection of multiple minorities and being told hey u experience violence but at least you wont be murdered by an #individual feels like a slap in the face. #like it doesnt matter if i have to mask my neurodivergent behaviour bc if people see they could assume im on drugs and call the police and #i could potentially be really hurt but not die but hey at least i wont die just be horrifically traumatized by police brutality! #there are millions of people with mental illnesses similar to my own around the world who are institutionalized and forcibly medicated or #living on the streets or dependant on horrifically abusive caregivers #but hey at least they arent being murdered! #like. the way the transphobia discussion on tumblr rn discusses (and doesnt discuss) race and ability and class and health makes me #feel very invisible. #like if people had to choose who to believe about my experiences between listening to me a black/mixed mentally ill maybe disabled (used to #be disabled) hella nd trans nonbinary person #or listen to a white middle class trans woman's take on my experiences that theyd choose her. its such a weird weird microcosm. #its like a monkeys paw like people are finally listening to trans fems and finally recognising the violence they experience and finally #actually caring about them but for some reason decide that in order to do that its necessary to throw every other minority under the bus #like fuck man have you seen how 'anti transandrophobia truthers' discuss race? its NOT okay #we all matter we all are so similar and are part of the same groups and same communities we need to stick together #stop using trans fems as a battering ram to hurt other minorities challenge #cause like. yes its some trans fems. but its mostly NOT? #like its non trans fems telling other non trans fems that they arent oppressed #and even when many trans fems are like what the fuck dude of course other trans ppl matter whats wrong with you #the group of like 80% non trans fems 20% trans fems are like 'hmm if you are defending other trans people you must not really be trans fem' #like. denying trans fems their identity bc they disagree with them?? dude someone doesnt stop being a trans fem cause they recognise #people other than trans fems matter and exist #its just all so WEIRD its a weird little tumblr microcosm #i wanna stress. for those of you who dont have access to other lgbtq+ communities. how much it seems to be primarily a tumblr thing. to

Once again I am Posting to give you all a friendly reminder that most popular Covid-19 posts on this site contain some level of misinfo. Common types of misinfo include:

"heard from a friend of a friend" medical advice, including "twitter thread of things a nurse told me" or "opinion of a random unverified doctor on social media"-- NEVER follow this type of health advice without checking with proper sources first

anecdotal data provided as fact

misunderstandings or misrepresentations of what disease agencies like the CDC are doing, should be doing, or what it would even be possible for them to do

assigning numbers and statistics to things OP just made up. this ranges from saying something like "only 2% of people mask" to mean "anecdotally i see only a very small number of people masking in my community"* but the actual number is misleading to seem to seem like a real statistic.... leading all the way to people just making numbers up

overly dramatic language**

assigning moral values to things which have no moral weight (e.g., "I haven't gotten covid because I'm a good person who....")

misrepresenting the conclusions of current research. this one is tricky because you'd think linking a study in a high-tier medical journal would be a good source, but I frequently see the following mistakes: overly definitive language, including asserting causation when causation has not been established, or claiming a single study definitively has definitely proven something; not understanding appropriate extrapolations from a study's design (something that happens to cell in a petri dish is NOT definitive of what happens in a body); incorrect biological conclusions/assumptions, or else oversimplification that loses nuance; cherrypicking studies. Remember that Covid-19 is still a very new disease and the research is still evolving. A study that seems extremely important in one year might turn out to be bunk later, not because the study was poorly designed, but because we were missing key info. There is a lot we simply do not know and cannot know and we need to careful of our language when reporting on it.

just straight up made-up facts

Please keep this in mind if you choose to interact with a covid-19 post. Remember to click through on any sources to verify them, to be wary of a lack of verifiable information, and that a post making you feel overly emotional is a sign to double-check the facts and message.

*Clarification: assigning an estimated number to things you see is an innocent rhetorical device in terms of informal communication, which is what tumblr is for. I say things like this in casual conversation too. It only becomes an issue when whatever post is mass reblogged. I'm not saying don't post like this..... I'm saying know to recognize this in things you choose to interact with.

**Again, emotive language is fine for blogging. It's a natural part of human communication, and I do it too. I'm not criticizing that. I'm warning you to be aware of it as a potentially misleading rhetorical device before you hit reblog.

#brought to you by a post claiming measle infections are on the raise bc covid nukes your immune system #and makes you susceptible to measles again i guess? #except if you look it up the rise in measles cases is mainly driven by lower vaccination rates #which IS linked the covid-19 in that lockdown lead to people missing vaccines #ripping my hair out etc

hey my snake makes hissing/sneezing noises frequently, and i just saw them wipe some kind of discharge from their nose. a bit of quick googling told me snakes do Not Cough Or Sneeze Or Have Snot, and that these symptoms are usually a sign of. some kind of problem. do you have any advice? is there anything i can do before a vet appointment to help him?

Yes, those are textbook signs of a respiratory infection. Respiratory infections can get very serious very quickly in snakes, so I absolutely recommend setting up a vet visit for your snake as soon as possible! Most snakes with RIs respond very well to a course of antibiotics.

Like I said, it's very important to get your snake to the vet as soon as possible when you notice RI symptoms, but there are a few things you can do to help them stay comfortable in the meantime:

Keep things as calm and quiet as possible. A stress-free environment will help your snake's body work on fighting the infection.

Increase their humidity. Regular misting and a humidity box (easily made by cutting a hole in the lid of a food storage container big enough for your snake to curl up in and filling it with damp moss) can help.

Taking your snake into the bathroom and letting the hot water run in the shower until it's nice and steamy can provide them with some temporary relief. Don't put your snake under the water, just let them be in the steamy room for a few minutes.

Once your snake is back home and on the mend, it's also important to consider the cause of the RI. For pet snakes, not all but many respiratory infections can be traced back to husbandry issues, so take a look at your setup and make sure everything's good. Most RIs in pet snakes are caused by too-low humidity, so make sure you're measuring the humidity in your enclosure with a good probe hygrometer.

All the best! I hope your snake feels better soon!

I heard something fun the other day. If there were a zombie invasion they would get hired to do our jobs because they could work 24 hours non stop and not need to be paid. So that's something to think about.

#would businesses push for infection rates to rise to get more workers?

good news and bad news.

good: did get in to see the doctor on friday, got some meds, attacking this shit from many angles, feeling much better already!

bad: feeling perhaps a little TOO better, considering it's 1AM and i'm fucken WIRED lmao

#text #personal #forreal i need these to kick the inflammations ass but i do NOT!!!! need to run a marathon about it!!!!! #im taking this one with lunch tomorrow instead of dinner 🤣 #the antibiotics do make me nauseous on the recommended No Food (weird right????) so ive started doing With Food #i was also given an inhaler which ive been too scared to try because the third side effect is. DEATH. #on the plus side my heart rate IS significantly down from the baseline 1-fucken-30 it was on friday #unclear if that was period related in addition to being Illness And AnxieTea Related (yeah period started too) #anyway i no longer want to die about it but i do want to go climb a tree so. #ALSO THE X RAY RESULTS SAID NO ABNORMALITIES except hyperinflated lungs slightly lmaoooo #anyway heres a bunch of personal howling into the void dont mind me #i fucken hate infections 🫠 #p sure this is post covid bullshit

Random germaphobia question:

How likely is it that I will get sick from hanging out with someone with strep?

They are on day 4 after symptoms started, and on medication for it. Their immune system might be weaker than others.

#this is so cringe but if theyre gonna be there #idk if i wanna go to the party #everywhere online says that it is VERY contagious #but also like three is only a 25% rate of spreading the infection in a household #so that sounds very low #I just dont know what to believeeeeee #and maybe some if y'all might be experts lol #not snz #strep #as a cw just in case

Jack wakes up with a sore knee and a toddler sitting on his chest.

“Hi, Papa,” Ellie whispers. Her blonde hair is wild and she smells like maple syrup. Since Jack retired earlier this year, most mornings have begun this way and he can’t say he minds all that much. He knew that her first few years, when he was still playing, would be hard. He’d tried to be as present as possible but even when he wasn’t away on roadies, the early morning practices and evening games meant less time than he’d have liked at home. He relishes these mornings with Ellie; most of the time, he doesn’t even miss those early workouts. He definitely doesn’t miss waking up in a hotel bed in a different city. Jack’s mornings are a lot slower now, but they’re also a lot sweeter.

But most mornings, Jack’s knee doesn’t feel like somebody’s just jammed a screwdriver into it.

re: the guide on how to responsibly buy a snake - what does it mean when tongue forks are stuck together? Thank you!

When the forks of a snake's tongue are stuck together, that can be a warning sign of a respiratory infection!

Some other signs to look out for:

Very heavy breathing that might feel rattly when you're holding the snake in your hands

Excess drool/saliva/mucus in the mouth

Frequent yawning

Open-mouth breathing

Coughing/wheezing/sneezing/clicking/popping noises

General signs of illness; lethargy, loss of appetite, irritibility
