Doctors about damn near every other health concern: "We should try to prevent this outcome by [banning substance/reducing use of chemical/eating different foods/changing societal behaviors] because prevention is better than treatment, and we should save that treatment for those who really need it."

Doctors about covid: "So are you wearing that mask because you're sick or because you're a baby coward who's scared of disease? I mean, they make a pill that costs $6000 with insurance that sometimes halts infection after you *know* you've been exposed. Would I prescribe that to you? No. What are you, afraid of getting sick or something?"

Sure everything is twice as expensive as 3 years ago but at least we also didn't beat covid

[ijustwannafallunderyrsawteeth]

did you know common viruses are linked to serious health problems?

my new theory: covid had to become 'just a cold' culturally because more research is coming out all the time about how you don't wanna get sick in general, it can absolutely fuck up your life, and people realizing that will inevitably result in people demanding changes to the way things work.

the thing that they don't want you to know is that these acute sicknesses, common viruses and colds, can either cause direct damage or create the circumstances that lead to long term, often complex health problems down the road. by 'they', i mean the people who have a vested interest in putting all our bodies through the meat grinder of late stage capitalism 'business as usual', no matter the circumstances.

i don't have a lot of spoons to write about this today and i'm brain foggy so i'm not gonna be the most eloquent but

think about the implications if your boss making you come in sick can lead to your coworker developing parkinsons or ms or heart damage or cancer. if people knew these things, they would absolutely not take the business as usual shit we're doing right now. people would demand paid time off. people would demand universal healthcare. people would demand so much more.

for example, just saw this recently.

but it's also not just this. conditions like MS and parkinsons, even cancers, among others have been linked to viruses, like for one, epstein barr. (epstein barr is mono, by the way).

Infections like common cold linked to MS progression

cancer, y'all. certain viruses, including covid, increase your likelihood of getting cancer.

Several viruses are linked with cancer in humans. Find out what we know about viruses and cancer risk here.

if we all really understood this, i believe more of us would be masking up. i don't want this for any of us and it's important to know these things.

i don't think that there is necessarily a global conspiracy to keep this from us, obviously donald trump and joe biden have gotten covid a billion times and are suffering because of it, obviously some of it is just plain ignorance but it is true that the powers that be have a vested interest in us not understanding this.

Accepting that maybe even the best version of you would be hated by some people can really set you free like life doesn't have to be making other people comfortable or being the most lovable and fair person in the universe like actually the satisfaction you seek is beyond judgment and lies within your own interests and desires fr

We just uploaded all 6 issues of Volume 9 of On Our Backs to the Internet Archive! We've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to digitize a large collection of issues and have been slowly working through what we have, and we're hoping to upload more before long, and we're so excited to make more issues accessible to people online again!

If you know anything about the magazine's history since it was discontinued, you know there's been a lot of fighting over censorship and who has the right to access these essential pieces of S/M dyke culture. We'd love to post these and have no problem preserving access to them over time, but we want to plan for the possibility of censorship, so we want to ask for your help.

Download the files to these issues, and any other issue you can find (the rest of the publicly available issues we're aware of are included in our pinned post), save the file to an external hard drive, post it as a separate upload in other archives or anywhere you know of to share files like these. Make art from the scans, share screenshots on social media, show your friends. We'd love a link to help people find our archive and our page to support our work and see what else we do, but the important thing is that we get these scans to as many places as possible so it's impossible to completely wipe them off the internet.

Leather is an inherently anti-assimilationist queer subculture, something we need very badly these days. On Our Backs is probably the biggest set of cultural materials we have, and it'll be gone if we don't protect it.

Ahmad, 18

“The vest, bag, and bracelet are 14th addiction, two of which I got from really close friends as a trade. The shirt and jeans are GOA, the boots are Craft Collabo. Almost everything that wasn't traded was sourced from a Japanese proxy. A lot of the inspiration for my style comes from animes and manga I read or watched when I was younger, like D.Gray-man, Air Gear or even shows like Bleach. But a lot of the brands I collect I found through rockstar collections back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.”
