Creative young adults… 

Happy Halloween from SF~ 

I was just reading g an article about shingles breakthrough in the 30’s 49’s age group…  
 It’s on the uprise in that age group population~     
 My wonder is, if somehow those getting vaccinated for shingles are getting mild cases of it, but, also carrying and spreading a variance form of it, not realizing that they actually have shingles. And some variance displaying symptoms in that younger age group is becoming stronger, more virulent and/or more communicable

It looks as if they are beginning to study the possibility of not wearing condoms during sex and not worrying totally about acquiring STDs.  They are (at least in the Lancet) still worrying about some unintended side effects.  We shall see.  And I am interpreting it to mean this is why the non-condom wearer is either on PrEP or on 2-1-1 PrEP.  Here's hoping.

It’s not that I don’t want this idea to work and I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, good or evil… I’m suggesting that the idea to me has some life realities beyond the “good sound” and “hopes of it” that may bring consequences that oppose the goal of containing and/or preventing the diseases in the populations,  (obvious or less so), they are targeting initially~

Deterioration of kidney function in men over 50 is his major concern.

The stomach issues are more uncomfortable than dangerous.

Some liver damage reported but not common.

DESCOVY appears (thus far) to have fewer incidents than Truvada.

Also worthy of mention: medication to pharmaceutical drugs, do you have impressive lists of side effects that are either potential or probable. They even make drugs to treat the side effects and drugs to treat the side effects of the drugs retreating the side effects. 
 My experience has shown me that people tend to think of the side effects of a particular drug that they are taking but don’t consider the side effects and interactions between the various drugs. They may be taking at the same time. They also don’t take any consideration, that some of the side effects and compounds can interact and cause other melodies when included with things like food, coloring, preservatives, various compounds in herbal teas and spices… What a good example of that is grapefruit juice~   
 What do you read about tests regarding the safety of sodium nitrate and its potential for cancer, the tests are basically based on administering excessive doses of sodium nitrate to lab specimens, and may be comparing them to the incidence rate of cancer in human beings~   
 So, there may be a suggestion for people to reduce her intake of sodium nitrates~  People don’t realize what the sources of sodium nitrate actually are. It can be in canned foods, it can be in their breakfast meat, their lunch meat, their dinner, meat, meat products that are in foods, but not easily identifiable, or obvious. They don’t consider that all of these suitable amounts of sodium nitrate consume during the day connect will be above a safe level for individuals who are susceptible to cancer from that compound~   
 Other chemicals that they take in process their daily lives, like fluoride in toothpaste, sulfur compounds, and preservatives of food, synergistic vehicles like salts and acids might change the toxicity of these compounds. 
The idea of throwing in antibiotics on top of the binders and fillers within them on some daily basis, with other things in your body, like insulin or antihypertensive drugs, or antianxiety drugs, or whatever… I don’t know… I have my reservations about the efficacy and safety of this sort of thing over time. 
 I think about how many countries and situations like war, poverty, limited surpluses that allow, and utilize expired or intermittent use of antibiotics because that’s all that’s available. It’s not like STI‘s or other diseases avoid those places because the antibiotics are old. Pathogens don’t care. It’s their opportunity to evolve around them

From what I’ve read, it sounds promising and worth more studies to corroborate data to make a case for widespread use.

I wonder how the potential for mass long term use of various antibiotics may accelerate the development and spread of antibiotic resistant strains of STIs.

If/when the antibiotics we have now are no longer effective against those problematic strains, and those strains are circulating much more commonly through the population (especially among MSM), what then will we have available to fight infections?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could eradicate all STIs? …*sigh* 

I‘m with you here… There are already resistant variants of both Syphilis and Gonorrhea~ There’s also been a shortage of antibiotics globally~   
  Eventually, antivirals and antibiotics give way to resistant variants similar to the way weed, insects and fungi evolve around pesticides, herbicides and fungicides~   
 It would almost make sense if the diseases they were trying to prevent were in small localized populations but, STI’s are global and  can leap between species, (herpes, syphilis, Chlamydia, Human Paloma Virus, autoimmune viruse… for example: Atlantic bottlenose dolphins can contract HPV, Baboons can contract herpes, rabbits can contract syphilis, Chlamydia affects sheep, goats, cats, to a lesser degree cattle, llamas, deer, Guinea pigs and mice~). So, there are always reservoirs of unprotected populations. 
 Coronavirus has been around a long time and has affected other species. When it found us, we were naive to it and now have this ongoing  situation~   
 If we create super bugs that other species can get, (ultimately becoming Petri dishes for microbe mutation and potentially increased virulence), that may present a concern for other species and again, come back into the human population at some point… especially since human beings come in contact with these other species,( on a global level). 
 I’m not aware of any antiviral or antibiotic that has not been the subject of a resistant form of the pathogens they were treating, (including HIV and Herpes).  Viruses tend to take residence in a bodily reservoir~ Then they resurface when conditions are optimal for replication~  
 There’s always going to be human error on administration and adherence to prophylactic and disease management treatments~  
 There is also the process of nature that allows living organisms survive life stresses and certain threats~   
 As long as the “cure” rate is below 100%, there will remain a resistance potential~

Have you really ?

It's still an insult.

So how did y'all "take ownership"?

Both "f***ot" and "qu**r" are still pejorative and meant to make someone feel bad about themselves. I refuse to accept these words simply because I am not a mainstreamer. Pretending to embrace it doesn't make you have ownership. It makes you a sucker for punishment.

 

IDK… I hear those words a lot and they are used in endearing ways between people similar to the way people use the “n” word or other words that reference color, position in life, gender, class~ So, it seems intent and context can change the interpretation of the words and their application~   
 The words themselves are sounds and letters… The intent and context changes everything~ 

I consider myself “sexual” and have no other labels~ I was raised on the idea that people are sexual regardless of gender or preference~ So, there wasn’t a strong push to identify as male, female, straight, bi, gay etc., and as a result, I just identity as sexual~
 my preferences whether gender or sexual are not the focal point of my identity.

new favorite song beside Hasa Diga Eemowai

… the end of the song is special 🫶🫶🫶😊

reposting because the smile on Andre’s face when he hears his son’s voice is so full of Love, Respect and Pride at the beginning of the song~ 

What’s amazing about this movie is that it’s based on the real life events surrounding Alfred Packer, a prospector who are his crew and travel members in the search for gold in colorodo territory~ Trey Parker and Stone of South Park created this musical about Packer’s Life~

Reposting… so funny 

I’m in love with both of them… 

If butt holes aren’t meant to be eaten, why are they between buns~? Just curious 

Just sold my homing pigeon on eBay for the 22nd time.

I saw all of Anderson Coopers love children in the news today at target~ Thay all look just like him~! 

Reflections of Autumn as a story: “The season…”

in calido autumni vespere mens sentit sicut folium~

Autumn… This time of year is somehow magical and menacing to me in its bounty: the culmination of thought and feeling hangs like fruit from the wilting branches of spring and summer hopes~ 

 I feel the weight of its body and the pluck of its nourishment penetrating my sour skin~ The sublime change in leaf color that gave birth to the earlier blossoms makes me light headed, detached~ I float down a bit drier… weightless even… moved by the wind in many, any and every direction~ 

 Depleted of potential, aspirations retreat back into their roots~ They snuggle down… snore softly even prior to the onset of a personally ineluctable winter of introspection~ 

 The reflective moon in all of its it’s phases saunters thru cool evenings, scattering shadows upon the echoes of picnic days promised and  swimming hole dives~ 

 Chicken bones and an empty glass of wine~ 

 Red berry and sweet white cream-stains litter my new shirt~ 

 A muffled puff sigh of exhaustion slips past my lips~ 

 Some part of me cradles seeds within the pulp of my pith and syrupy mess of my flesh~ 

 Some part of me oozes softly around the gilded nut shell of my encrypted dreams~ 

 My fingers become sticky as I hold the strange fruit~ My heart ferments into an intoxicating cider of effervescent moments that fizzle and escape into the air, soaring up to the stars, vanishing into the abyss of the sky only to be held as crystals in snowy hibernal clouds~ 

 Heat yet lingers in my summer skin and radiates outwards toward days ahead~ 

 I turn in slow circles… descending to the ground~ 

 Laying on my back, a giant tree looms over me. I know you so well~

 There is a scar where I once was sewn to a twig… There is a small nub beneath the pock where I will push thru again, unfolding and riddling out my single purpose… to give the tree and its earthen mantle something to hold on to after the thaw~ 

The Chinese really know how to utilize the power of the big screen~ This movie is epic and glorious in the theater~ It’s a better and slightly different movie if you speak Mandarin but, the translation is good overall~

good to pair with this next movie: 

if you’ve played the game The Talos Principle this movie may have an added dimension~ 

😂🤣😂🤷‍♂️😂🤣😂
