too much of heaven's a sin.

6 years ago, I had a knee injury where I fractured my kneecap and tore my meniscus. I still feel chronic pain from that injury, and it now my kneecap will subluxate under certain conditions like pivoting my leg, which creates compounding damage and additional downtime. I’ve been through PT for it and wear a brace and KT tape when necessary. 

This is what disabled people are talking about when we say able-bodied people are one injury away from a permanent disability. Doctors will have you believe that these things can be healed from, but truly things like knee injuries can be a lifelong disability/chronic pain issue.  

In another camp, my husband got adult onset asthma after a bout of bronchitis, which is a relatively common infection. He now is living with a chronic illness the rest of his life. 

Do people in this site not flirt with it daily, and have murdered their sense of reason and sense, falling into the void of chaos and despair?

It is not the site that is dead or dying.

Ya’ll don’t have any idea how fucking brave and needed these plot lines were.

This was before Ellen came out.

This was before civil unions.

This was before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

This was when your ass could be fired, blacklisted, and shunned with no legal protections for even being hinted at being gay.

the difference in treatment between a BLM protester and a white supremacist murderer shows how fascism is operating now in the US

White men never would have been called cowBOY in the first place…they called them cowMEN. It was only Black and Latinx/Latine people who they denied the respectful term “man” to, calling them “boy” and “girl/gal” pejoratively.

Literally, the word ‘cowboy’ was a pejorative used in reference to nonwhite cattle handlers, and this was common kowledge up until the late 1940s, white people decided the word looked cute and they wanted it for themselves. Hence when all those westerns became popular TV shows in the 50s and 60s, they started calling white men cowboys, and removed all people of color (except the stereotypical Savage Indians, who were usually played Latinx/Latine actors…)

First, purchase a pulse oximeter online or from your local drug store. There are several trustworthy brands for under $15 on Amazon. Monitor your oxygen saturations every few hours, and if they drop below 87% and stay there... it’s time to go to the hospital.

Sleep on your belly whenever you can. This provides more room for your lungs to expand without taking on fluid.

Get up and walk, even if you don’t feel like it. At least once an hour, walk up and down your steps, do a few laps around your living room, whatever you can manage. This prevents fluid from settling in your lungs.

Sleep as much as your body tells you to. But make sure you get up and move around as often as you can.

Eat when you can. High calorie, high protein. Stay away from dairy products like milk and ice cream. Drink fluids like gatorade that have electrolytes in them. With a fever, you can become dehydrated quickly and will feel worse.

Treat your symptoms!!! For fever, body aches and chills, alternate taking 200-800mg of ibuprofen and 500-1000mg of Tylenol (acetaminophen) every 6-8 hours. Cough medicine (without acetaminophen) for dry cough. Cough drops, hot tea, hot lemon water with honey for sore throat.

For example: 6AM- 600mg of ibuprofen with some mucinex.

12PM- 1000 mg of Tylenol.

6PM- 800mg ibuprofen, repeat dose of mucinex.

You can disinfect your home with 1 cup of bleach to 1 gallon of water. Lysol, Clorox, etc. wash off frequently touched surfaces like fridge/microwave handles, faucets, doorknobs.

Don’t get retested!!! You can still test positive for months and you are no longer shedding. Consider yourself positive and contagious for 10-14 days after your first symptoms. If you still have any symptoms, after 10 days, consider yourself contagious.

Taste and smell may not come back for months. Contact your physician, local healthcare center or CDC.gov if you have ANY questions on whether you are safe to return to work or school.

A few points before I mute this:

1. Yes, I am an ACTUAL ICU nurse and recommending gatorade. Imagine being so elitist and thinking that everyone who needs to treat COVID at home can afford coconut water or electrolyte alternatives?

2. I have neither seen nor heard any evidence that ibuprofen is harmful. If your doctor tells you don’t take it, don’t take it!

If you have any questions, concerns or are unsure if you should go to the hospital, just go :) we are happy to check you out and will tell you if you don’t need medical attention. It’s better to be safe than sorry. These tips (as I said in the beginning) are for MILD symptoms.

You can’t make meth out of baby formula. You can stretch some drugs by cutting it with baby formula but “Drug dealers sometimes use the powdered formula to dilute heroin and methamphetamine or to stretch the product when supplies run low. However, experts say that more often than not, formula is stolen because of its high market demand among consumers rather than drug dealers.”

Do you or somebody you know have PCOS? You are banned from international womens athletics because you are supposedly in posession of an unreasonable advantage in sports.

Why are those disqualified overwhelmingly black and brown? Because testing is case by case when an athletes performance “raises suspicions”. They overwhelmingly test athletes of colour, for being too fast and not meeting white expectations of femininity.
