All right. So. Monkeypox. An FYI from your friendly neighborhood virologist.
How it spreads: Basically every way imaginable. Contact, aerosol, surfaces, sexually, etc. How? Pox viruses are really, REALLY hearty. They persist FOREVER. Literally for MONTHS on stuff.
I am embarking on a big journey this morning!
I haven’t travelled internationally in almost a decade, and I haven’t been on a transoceanic flight since 2002.
I’m scared and excited. I can’t believe I get to see Athens (in like a day and a half lmao)
Vaccine: Yes, the smallpox vaccine is cross-protective against Monkeypox. How do I know? Well, for one, I worked in a pox virus lab, so this is literally my field. I also had to get the smallpox vaccine working there. It is fucking itchy as hell to get, though.
She fucked a random dude on the train back to college from spring break after she had stopped sleeping with me almost entirely.
When I pressed her about acting weird, she caved and told me the story. And told me how good it was.
Yay trauma!
Fun fact: the word vaccine comes from the smallpox vaccine! It was the very first vaccine, and is live Vaccinia virus, and that's where the name and the term Vaccination comes from!
Everyone told this girl resin grinders aren’t safe, she fought literally everyone and still has them available in her shop so this is your reminder that resin grinders will have you smoking tiny chunks of resin and are not safe!
Ok so update!
My flight did eventually leave and I did make it to Heathrow! And to their credit, the airlines absolutely had me rebooked to Athens.
Made it through security and made my connection. Looks like I actually am going to Greece!
How to keep yourself safe: stay the fuck away from anyone with it. Seriously. Literally avoid them and their homes and their things for at least 3 months. And if you have it, you have an obligation to keep yourself the fuck away from other people.
Does it have pandemic potential: It sure does. Poxviruses are scary like that. Thankfully, a vaccine exists already. That vaccine is also incredible stable at ambient temperatures, meaning it's easy to ship and disseminate because it doesn't need to be kept cold.
Well, figure I’ll fill you guys in. Had a scooter crash this weekend and hurt my shoulder, and of course it’s my dominant hand.
Nothing is broken, orthopedist thinks it’s a partial rotator cuff tear and AC joint sprain. MRI tomorrow.
And with this, I got LUCKY.
I donated to this, I love this charity immensely. My family has also lost three dogs to cancer in the last ten years.
Let’s give Mason the best outlook we can.
This is Mason. He was sitting in a shelter covered in massive tumors. We helped him get them removed, and he’s much happier, but the biopsy indicated they are cancerous. You can help Mason get the chemotherapy he needs by clicking below ❤️🩹
For those of you that came for the voice and cock but are still hanging out through the shit posts, social commentary, and furry porn:
I ‘preciate you.
Y’know what?! Yeah let’s talk about that for a fucking second!
Get guys flowers!
I had a girlfriend get me a big bouquet of gorgeous carnations in high school when I was laid up with a serious knee injury. And that changed my life.
Had to dress down cuz was tooooo warm. But. Still feel kinda hot? Which is new and fun for me?
Thank you all. Every single one of you, my friends and connections in this weird little part of the internet. Thank you for anything nice you’ve ever said to me.
Merry Christmas.🎄🎁
CW: mental health issues, depression, anxiety
So, looks like men’s health week was last week and I missed it! I do have a thing or two I’d like to say.
I have mental health issues. I take antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds, and I’m in therapy. I’m pretty vocal about this.
Holy shit I actually made it. Granted like five hours later than I was initially scheduled but hey. I’m here!
I’m in Greece! Also holy fuck I am tired hahahaha
GUYS
GUYS MY BAG SHOWED UP
I HAVE CLEAN PANTS AND SHIRTS!
(I packed two extra socks and five extra pairs of underwear in my carry on. And a dress shirt. CAN YOU TELL THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A LOT)
Hey. Just a reminder.
If you belittle and downplay the suffering and psychological and emotional impact of chronic illnesses, including invisible ones?
Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF WITH THAT SHIT.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY THE FUCK OFF OVER THER
STRAIGHT TO HELL
I just got some absolutely devastating news. I'm gonna be vague about it cuz I can't really bring myself to type it out.
I'm as ok as I can be in the situation, I'm processing. But I will say this:
Tell people that you love the, with your whole heart. Often.
This is called "Aftercare" and it is NOT. OPTIONAL.
If you don't perform appropriate aftercare with your partners, you are not ready to have responsible kinky behavior and you are UNSAFE whether you know it or not.
if you’re going to use her like a slut, check on her afterwards; hold her, talk to her, read to her spoil her, whatever it takes; just make sure she feels like a princess again it’s important.
Ok, so how do you politely tell all your friends that they have really nice tits and you're happy they feel comfortable sharing them, but also like, god damn?
Asking for me.
