Title: Parasites and Profiteering How Health Crazes and parasitic Infection Illustrate The Wellness, Aesthetics, and Fascism of Free Market Healthcare. Excerpt: Healthcare in our post-postmodern era is not health but an aesthetic wellness, a chance to express ourselves through commodities. The disciplined strength of the gym bro, the effortlessly chic Pilates princess, the spiritually evolved yogi, the arcadian lifestyle of the crunchy mom. Wellness is a sort of behavior-fashion that sells us symbols of health, as if health is a purely individual pursuit. However, we are not in a crisis of wellness, or fashion, but a crisis of health. A crisis spurned by individualism, organized abandonment, climate change, crumbling infrastructure, and inadequate regulation.

Parasites and Profiteering How Health Crazes and parasitic Infection Illustrate The Wellness, Aesthetics, and Fascism of Free Market Healthcare.

Hi I wrote an article on substack if yall wanna read it (UwU)

Ur supposed to eat them before! For energy!

I know Quakerism isn’t dogmatic but isn’t there a thing about “external weapons?” Like guns for farm use would be fine but is self defense is a whole other thing? Idk but it’s really interesting to me

I rationalize it bc it *is* cheaper than like creams and masks and color correcting concealer and filler and all the other temporary stuff I used to do. I also stopped wearing concealer under my eyes, eliminating that sensory nightmare time suck alone was really worth it for me.

Alma was 3500 and PRF is about 700 per session but results are permanent and PRF is session not area, so I get it in my nasolobial folds and over fine lines and acne scars while I’m there. Also most places take care credit

I did Alma hybrid laser and 5 rounds PRF and it permanently got rid of my hereditary dark circles and corrected shadows from deep set eyes. Untouched before/after pics. 10/10 highly recommend

Highly highly highly recommend Gary’s Economics on YouTube and Richard Wolfe’s lectures for accessible socialist education on Econ and finance ❤️

“Why don’t the dems do free healthcare?” because the economy runs on debt and social welfare is a value extraction tool. But if we don’t know how compound interest or banking or corporate tax works it lets establishment dems pretend they’re not benefitting or enabling cruelty for profit.

This is the stuff I’m talking about when I say that understanding econ is so essential to left politics. It worries me how many well-read comrades are financially illiterate. Economics obsfucates with jargon but it’s imperative to understanding how/why shit sucks so bad!

The “follow for more investing advice!” Sent me

I totally missed that lol “having be doing” has a good mouthfeel tho

I’m pretty sure nuclear codes and Vietnam canceled it out. Poser shit fr

They’re fkn rad tho, I love Quakers and still wanna go to some Unitarian meetings

I’ve seriously considered becoming a Quaker but I like guns too much

This is literally the only time I ever have or will use Grok

Elon exits the Discord call. Silence. He showers, replaying the conversation in his head. Stepping out, he stares into his reflection. “Lol” he says aloud, to no one.

There was a Christian org that allied with the one I worked with. LGBT friendly, non-proselytizing, fed people and provided community. My org worked with street sex workers mostly, and the Christian org’s volunteers were never judgmental or weird about the workers, just loving to all 💕

I wanna buy new wax stamps so bad but I’m doing a no-buy month ;-; look how cuteeee tho

Beauracrsacy tho :( i can shoot i cant do paperwork

Tbh tho, luxury hookers are a bourgeoise past time, decrim would make it easier to brush scandals under the rug. It would also be a good PR spin to make porn censorship seem less authoritarian, and obsfucate the continued criminalization of survival SW “well, we decriminalized sex work…”

Democrat congressman calls for decriminalizing sex work after bombshell House report on Matt Gaetz Michigan congressman says victims would be empowered to speak out if law changes

I’m just sayin. I feel like this would get hella bipartisan support. All the poular paid ad sites are hosted in legal countries, they will likely continue to shut down US FSSW platforms and criminalizing outdoor work - harming high risk SW most

I think it’s gonna get better for high end fssw and strip clubs (preserving entertainment for the rich) and way worse for online only workers (censorship)
