you know what boils my blood.
over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."
i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.
but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.
today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.
the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.
so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.
#zee rambles#this isn't to guilt trip anyone#but im so so tired of people coming in and just refusing testing because they want to see grandma or whatever#and on top of that people are avoiding vaccinations and all that too??#we all lived through the pandemic - everyone saw how many people unfortunately passed away from it#now because of vaccinations and some amount of herd immunity we're finding milder cases in healthy people#but that doesn't mean its gone#that doesn't mean it doesn't have long-term repercussions even in healthy people and that doesn't mean people aren't still dying from it#honestly i just needed a lil rant#and if this helps at least one person??? im all for it#also i can't sleep so here we are spilling thoughts into the voidddd

The Pentagon ran an anti-vax psyop in the Philippines at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic
Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China (usatoday.com)
Please read this article. It makes me sick.
TLDR: The US is directly responsible for the over 60,000 people who have died from COVID-19 in the Philippines since the summer of 2020. The pentagon made at least 300 fake social media accounts on twitter targeted at making Filipinos believe that the Chinese-made Sinovac vaccine was dangerous. The Sinovac vaccine came out before any US-made vaccine and was widely available in the region before the smear campaign started. They used lies that the vaccine contained pork gelatin (which is considered haram to MuslimsâIslam is the second largest religion in the Philippines). Their aim was to harm China's reputation and to sell more American-made vaccines in the developing world for high prices.
#philippines#islam#covid 19#covid#us politics#usa#disinformation#vaccines#are we surprised#the article also said that technically the pentagon is not allowed to use psyops against US citizens#but i wouldn't be surprised if they did tbh considering how fast and heavy everyone came swinging with the antivax stuff#news

General pet peeve of mine that I know is going to be relevant in the upcoming political times, all the lies so many tell themselves about the covid lockdowns. The CDC never shut down schools, and didn't even really push for it. State governments generally didn't either! Parents and teachers shut down schools; they were scared of a virus and didn't want their kids to be in contact with others, and teachers felt the same. People were very uncertain about the effects of covid on children, and no one wanted to take chances.
And so on down the line - the US didn't have lockdowns, not really beyond the first ~month or two. The federal government definitely didn't, some state governments had partial shutdowns but even then they were scattershot. Your workplace went remote because your employees and bosses wanted to.
But I am definitely gonna have to sit through 4 years of bullshit about "federal overreach", so occasionally I am gonna eyeroll about it.
#Sad because actual criticisms of the CDC are legion#The alt universe where we did âbend the curveâ ~3 month shutdowns + blitzed vaccine dev and everyone cheered - alas my beloved...

Having finally played and beaten Lisa the Joyful wow the game has problems you really wouldnât expect. Like its not awful its still pretty good! Just the problems it has are NOT what you would expect based on the series trackrecord
Why is Buzzo doing THERAPY SPEAK in the APOCALYPSE
#lisa#lisa the painful#lisa the joyful#i think the vaccine twist works FINE its a different theme than Painful#Brad had multiple chances and reasons to get clean but couldnât and thatâs tragic#Buddy has lost EVERYTHING but her chance to go clean by the time its available to her#its a little clunky but its more akin to someone deciding not to kill themselves at rock bottom rather than a story about addiction#i think everyone forgiving each other at the end is unrealistic like what is Buzzy doing.

Sorry but if youâre a leftist who isnât masking youâre a performance artist not an activist lol
All that talk about collective liberation doesnât amount to much when you wonât do the bare minimum of community care by doing your part to mitigate a deadly and disabling disease that disproportionately affects the most vulnerable/marginalized in ur community!!
#leftist#communist#anarchist#itâs literally the bare minimum#*OBVIOUSLY If u have the resources to do so but also look into mask blocs#like what the fuck are you doing if ur ok with spreading a deadly and disabling disease#if u only do the right thing when itâs easy and everyone does it ur not actually that good of a person#how tf is ur revolution going to happen if everyone is getting strokes and early dementia in their 20s/30s#and how are yâall so comfortable ignoring disabled ppl and disability justice?#covid#Ntm how if ur in the global north u are so fucking privileged in comparison with the amount of healthcare and vaccines and masks u have#access to and itâs so gross to refuse those and ignore the fact that ur inaction has real consequences in both ur own community and in the#global south bc itâs a GLOBAL PANDEMIC#like israel literally imposed a vaccine apartheid on Palestine disease and colonialism go hand and hand

i think the most annoying part of dog food discourse is how many people will act as though proplan/hillâs/Royal canin diets arenât extremely and prohibitively expensive and that THAT is the reason so many people look into healthy alternatives.
People complain about corn being in the first five ingredients on most of those feeds because, regardless of other factors here, that is not an expensive ingredient. But it makes up a large chunk of the dry food. So the dry food should be fairly affordable, right?

Oh⌠with tax youâre spending about $100 for one 45lb bag of food where the third ingredient is wheat and the fourth and fifth ingredients are corn.

Oh⌠well! Itâs slightly cheaper! But the second ingredient is rice, third is wheat, fourth is corn, and then fifth is poultry byproduct. None of those are very expensive so this just must be the low end cost of dog food unfortunately. The vets recommend it so surely that means prices arenât inflated, right?

Oh? This one has similar ingredients with the only real difference being no corn? And itâs half the price?? Well surely thatâs just a fluke.

Oh. Oh no.

This one even has CORN in it and itâs $20 cheaper?? Wow!
Like listen at some point I donât care if your dog food has the ichor of the gods in it, Iâm not spending $100 every five days if there are cheaper options with just as many âgoodâ ingredients in it. If you think Iâm a dog abuser because I canât afford this overpriced garbage, thatâs too bad. I donât care. My dogs are perfectly healthy with the food I give them. Great weight and great coat. People giving dog food recommendations that arenât those top three hyper-expensive dog foods arenât trying to epic own those dastardly vets half the time, but I really donât blame the ones who do lose trust in vets when the only heartworm protection they recommend lately are expensive triple-action brands like Simparica Trio that costs $120+ as opposed to the other heartworm protections that are only about $40-$60 on average, which is still cheaper even if you add on a $20-$40 flea and tick protection separately, and only recommend dog food that costs $85+ a bag even if your dog doesnât have specialized dietary needs.
Those top three foods are GREAT at making competent prescription diets, I donât deny that. I do still have to criticize the pricing of those prescription diets though because I have spoken to DOZENS of people who had to pull their pets off of a prescription diet and struggle to find something comparable because they couldnât afford the food, and thatâs terrible! These are not poor companies! Purina, Royal Canin, and Hillâs can ABSOLUTELY afford to lower their prices to make their food accessible to people who need it for their animals but they donât. They probably never will. Because at the core they are run by greedy corporations. It doesnât matter how many good nutritionists are on board if the company is run by people who put profits over customers and make the food impossible for people to afford.
#I keep seeing posts from people on both sides of this#and it is frustrating to see how many vets donât seem to acknowledge#that a MASSIVE part of the dog food debate has and always will be#the inaccessibility of these three brands#because whether corn is good or bad or neutral for a dog#Itâs a cheap ingredient#any meat byproducts are a cheap ingredient#wheat in any form is a cheap ingredient#rice is a cheap ingredient#they arenât putting Diamond dust and gold flakes in the kibble itâs very accessible and affordable ingredients for the most part#and many comparatively smaller companies use very similar ingredients and make food people can actually afford#So yeah when people look at these factors it does make them distrust vets who will almost exclusively push expensive brands#and thatâs where the distrust is coming from#itâs not primarily smug tiktok kids who think they know everything#itâs just people who have less money than you and get treated like they care less for their animals because of it lol#and people who feel scammed because anything veterinary is already expensive to the point not everyone can afford it as regularly as needed#the fact people have to give pets vaccines themselves to make ends meet because most vets charge so much just to walk in the door#is a sign of a larger problem#I criticize people who avoid taking animals with surprise sickness or injuries to the vet#but itâs not exactly hard to see why that isnât even an option for a lot of people#people canât even afford surgery on themselves if theyâre suddenly injured out of the blue in this country#So I canât pretend to be shocked they donât have $10k squirreled away if something unavoidable happens to a pet#no one is entitled to an animal they canât afford yes yes but a routine vet visit shouldnât be $600-$1000 per animal sorry#give me a copay or something

I hope Sam is recovering, and man, I hope he gets to think about something else.
At the end of his video, Sam said he was most looking forward to not thinking about cancer. I get it. There is a certain kind of dread and despair that comes with those diagnoses, and it lingers for a long time. I had a cancer scare, and while it turned out that I had another medical problem, I think it took me about a year from the first symptom, through tests and diagnosis, surgery, recovery, confirmation that I didnât need radiation, and then months of nothing before I finally stopped being plagued by that weight. Itâs psychologically debilitating. âThey were wrong beforeâwhat if they were wrong again? What if it is cancer? What if itâs not gone?â
On one hand, I hope Sam stays off social media just so he doesnât have to see that word or any other reminders of how horrible treatment is. On the other, I hope he sees how much support and well wishes weâre all sending his way.

After successfully dodging it for four years, I got Covid from my gran, who got it from my grandfather, who "got" it for his 95th birthday (probably from someone who coughed at him at the supermarket or wherever) ... My grandparents are both fine, thank God, and I'm isolating in the yarn room where the man keeps me plied with tea and food, like this excellent noodle soup.
Featuring my gran's WIP basket in the background which she gave me a few years ago.
#the last week has been a fucking trip I tell you#my father has it too but is on the mend as well#I swear this was the longest week with bad news every day#thankfully everyone of us is vaccinated and got their booster shots too#my granddad is SO PISSED that he got it after all this time#none of us had this on their bingo card for this year#covid#personal

unintended consequence of introducing my mom to reddit in 2019 is that 5 years later she is 10x more of a redditor than anyone i know now, and also has zero concept of the general reputation of reddit among normal people. everybody stares blankly when this woman in her 60s starts talking about this post she saw on reddit. she brings it up CONSTANTLY. like nearly every conversation. i'm like mom please. these people only know reddit as the incel site, if they know what it is at all
#not saying there aren't older people on reddit but like#let's all be real the general demographic of reddit is 30 y/o men and every time i go on the popular tab i'm reminded of this#next to nobody that my mom interacts with in this rural texan town has a clue what she is talking about#but the confidence with which she cites it#at least she isnt into conspiracies#actuall i'll ammend. she is into conspiracies. but she's into mocking them#which on it's own is a little....i've had to tell her to dial back because she's always bringing up whatever stupid thing she saw online#like she is more chronically online than i am when it comes to what stupid maga people believe. because she hates them#and i'm happy she hates them instead of supports them#but i'm also like mom pls you cannot bring up vaccine conspiracies in normal company everyone thinks you are insane#i SEE their looks as she talks but she doesnt đ#it's like people will be having a normal conversation about real world things and she will derail into unhinged chronically online stuff#like mom pls everyone else is happily living normal lives offline you are confusing and scaring them LOL
