this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.

try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.

- wash and then cook your vegetables. air fry, bake, sautee, deep fry, whatever to 165F

- if you really want a salad, get locally farmed veg from the farmers market and wash VERY thoroughly. if the farm has info about their labor practices, even better. workers' safety keeps us safe too

- you can blanch some greens too but this isn't as safe as cooking thoughly

- wash your hands thoroughly before & after prepping raw vegetables

Wanted to get at least one drawing in for disability pride month before I got completely absorbed by Art Fight! I was waffling between a feature of a character with a visible disabilities or invisible ones, since both come with their own issues and deserve recognition. Then I remembered Tielo actually fits into both of those categories! They have albinism, as well as the invisible but no less disabling celiac disease.

It's that time of year again! Let's go Team Mystery!

She will finally be allowed to rest and taken off of life support.

Her family’s fundraiser is nowhere near its goal, and now they have tremendous NICU costs to look forward to based on how her son was able (or unable) to develop under the duress of all those life saving drugs they pumped his mom full of.

Please allow this mother’s spirit to rest and support their family as they’re finally allowed to grieve poor Adriana being used as an incubator for the state.

ART FIGHT TIME!!! I'll be joining the fray on Team Mystery this year!

2026:

It was flagged as "Eksplicit", shadowbanned, and every reblog turned invisible. The flagging is also unappealable (unless that is an error, thanks tumblr)

Happy Trans Day of Invisibility from your tumblr mods!

Only found out because I tried to reblog with an update from your local trans unicorn siblings!

I cannot even LINK to my old comic without every new post getting deleted.

The original post was pardoned, but the shadowban still persisted and every reblog was hidden from the dash and flagged explicit. I'm not sure if it recovered by now, or if it's always going to be at risk of banning.

So whatever staff reviewed my complaint agreed that it wasn't explicit. So thank you for that, moderator. This highlights that the problem starts with bad actors reporting anything they don't like, and that it's a tossup if your appeal is seen by a bot, a normal human, or a bigot.

I'm grateful I can still touch people and spread positivity. Many of my queer siblings, brothers, and sisters - especially trans sisters - can't say the same.

But no matter what happens, we will always have each other. Every letter in our alphabet is a pillar holding up a beautiful world that only stands if we're all in it together. The rest of society may call you a monster, but it calls me one too. Maybe you won't hear it from the rest of them, but listen and you will hear it from me.

I love you.

We're here, we're queer - get used to it!

Needed some good vent art while dealing with a rough week, and like a Pride Month miracle, this came together even though I freehanded it in my paint program after not liking a previous version. Very unusual - I almost always paint over a sketch and make only minor modifications digitally. I guess those little bits of practice are finally paying off!
