I also recommend downloading a copy of this list of cleaning products effective against norovirus
(It's uh...currently... Available on the EPA website, but who knows how long that will last)

Note that the concentration of the cleaner is particularly important
🤣🤣🤣
It's not possible to constantly hold onto crisis. You have to have love and you have to have the magic. That's also life.
A very loud reminder from the great Toni Morrison.
Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.
It is your civic duty as a constituent to be critical of Dems, Repubs and any individual or org in positions of power and to hold them accountable.
It is NOT your duty to run their fan club and act as their personal PR crisis firm.
Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.
A SKELATON FACES DA UNIVERSE AND SAY'S "WHY DO I HAVE TO EAT EVERY SINGLE FUCKEN DAY" - THE DEMAND'S OF THE HUMAN BODY ARE UNREASONBLE AND SEEM TO INCREASE WITH EACH PASSING DAY - NEW PAIN , NEW NEED'S AND A COSNTANT HUNGER WHICH CANNOT BE SATED WHETHER WITH FOOD OR SCROLLING THE PHONE - WHAT FATE SHALL BEFALL THE RULLING CLASS WHEN THE BREAD AND CIRCUSES NO LONGER KEEP US DISTRACTED?

This is the time for America to listen to the people who have experience with colonization and/or authoritarian regimes. You need us. Before it’s too late.

Shit time to be a disabled trans person working with Deaf and disabled people in the realm of education. Feels bad.
And so I come back to how this is such a common experience with a complex chronic illness
Because as bad as this is, this is the Lite version due to privilege and a little luck
Erythromelalgia may be rare, but having no treatment or medical guidance is not

I’m seeing a lot of “well give it a generation or two and measles will wipe out these people”
These people are kids. Who have zero choice in being born, or medical decisions.
Seriously y’all? What the fuck? Kids. These are kids. We do not do this shit to kids.
Be fucking better
I didn't have this symptom when I first got sick, but the past 4 years have been like whack-a-mole, trying to control symptoms as the disease progresses.
Usually, thin, hot, liquids are the worst culprits, specifically coffee, but any liquid might do it. Beyond the embarrassment, it can be painful and v difficult to clear out of my sinuses.
While standing is cool, what I really look forward to is relief from my dysphagia, specifically nasal regurgitation. Last night, a swallow of spicy panang curry went straight up and out of my nose. I should have expected it, but I never do.
The beauty of treatment that actually works! 3/4 days after infusion, and I can stand up off the floor effortlessly.
I say the infusion center is jankity because it is 6 chairs in an unused corner of the hospital, usually staffed by a single nurse who has to leave the premises to get our medications. The center in the next building over is LUX, but I don't get booked there.
I spent 2 days a month there, I've gotten used to the process, as jankity as it is
On the good day, my nurse came out masked and stayed that way, was efficient, and got me in and out as fast as possible.
Shit day gave me a migraine and a nurse who just failed to follow infusion instructions multiple times. Maybe if I didn't feel like hot trash, I would be more forgiving but also like, I do all my little steps to get ready, so it is frustrating when people don't put in the effort.
Had 1 good infusion day, 1 shit infusion day. I'll take it.

God, transexual, grapes but not wine, the act of creation, ya dig?
There is exactly one other country in which my skillset is applicable,
and they are only marginally
safer. But they also wouldn't let me move there anyway. The feeling of helplessness and being trapped is...not fun.
I know it is a whole thing that people threaten to leave the US, but it is a special kind of upsetting knowing my career is geographically specific, that I have no other marketable skills, and that my disabled body is unwelcome anyway.
It is cold as all get out here, but camping is so regulating. So nice to spend time with the one bio family member who actually gets me and is on the same page, covid wise.
After a trying week at work with a shitty team blowing up at me, I am so glad to be up in the mountains, away from that mess
My life is actually just a series of stressors punctuated by recitations of the serenity prayer. I'm not even a friend of Bill W, it just slaps
My current schedule is cushy as hell, with hours of on call time where I just meed to be within 10 min of my work site, but my body is still thrashed by the end of the day. Over it.

My gastroparesis has been rearing its ugly head more than normal, but I am struggling to renember to take meds so that I actually experience hunger. It has been a shit show, and I would absolutely love a fuckin break.
