It’s kind of hilarious as someone with zero tumblr presence to watch someone get upset about being called a TERF and then *checks their tumblr* yeah they deserve it lmao
I'm sick with COVID. My doctor says I have to eat more but I have no grocery money and getting groceries delivered is expensive. Im also in need of medical supplies, like syringes and needles, and some other stuff. Im on my period and have no money for pads. Please help!
the way ppl these days act like gay men dont face any systemic and social violence just because a some white gays are annoying is really weird. like i know its the homophobia but like at least stop pretending like ur hate is somehow progressive and just be evil with ur full chests
And the way (mainly white) (mainly young) people think that just because they see rainbows and gay bars in their cushy Northern States American city that systematic violence and discrimination against gay men has magically been "solved". Gay men are still treated as filth and predators in so many parts or the world, yes, even in America. Non-white gay men face the additional racism on top of homophobia. Gay men are still being denied housing and medical treatments and love because of their HIV status, or even the suspicion of positive status.
The idea that gay men are somehow better off and even oppressive just sows resentment among people who should be united in the face of adversity.
And just because you're another flavour of queer doesn't mean you don't have to unpack and abolish your internalized homophobia.
Just so ya'll know. They're gonna loophole this which is why we have to spread this information. I work at a pharmacy and I can tell you that a lot of these insurance companies only "Cover" them. Here's what has been happening: You go to your doctor to get PrEP, they write a prescription and send it to the Pharmacy. When you get there they tell you that insurance isn't covering it. You say that the law says that they have to. They say that it will, but not through THEM. The insurance company says that they'll only cover it through a "specialty pharmacy" (which on the one hand, fair enough, NIOSH standards for drugs state that if you are handling the pills then there are specific forms of PPE you need that we at retail do not have, but on the other hand that doesn't matter if we aren't opening the freaking bottles) which will then either mail it to you or ship it to the pharmacy to take it out of the box, scan it in, and bag it. Which is what we'd do normally anyways except with the added step of making you wait 2-3 business days to get it. And because technically they "cover it" it's not a law violation. But they're hoping that you'll not want to wait and just pay the $3000 out of pocket.
Important to note here that PreP can be prescribed after sex with an hiv-positive person, like a kind of morning after pill. It’s more effective if you are already on PreP before sex but taking it after still dramatically reduces the chance of transmission, provided you start taking it as fast as possible, which means definitely within 24-48 hours.
So that’s waiting period? That’s going to force some people to either pay the full price or lose the window to prevent transmission after sex. That’s a big big deal.
I’m not sure PrEP can be used after exposure like that since it’s a Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis and it takes a few weeks to be fully effective. If you think you’ve been exposed, go to the emergency room within the 24-48 hour window and get a Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). This will lower the chance for transmission. Then get in touch with your doctor to start PrEP. PrEP is like birth control while PEP is like the morning after pill. And always remember undetectable=non transmittable.

Speciality pharmacies really aren’t that hard to use. Anyone poz knows this is how we receive our medicine already, I’m having a hard time believing this will be a big issue if someone just looks up what specialty it’s being sent to and work with them.
Not once did I say that so either you’re intentionally misreading or stupid. We’re talking about the impact of a queer artist succeeding in their medium.
You want to have a morality discussion about the content. Take that up with yourself. Ask yourself why you care so much about it. That you disagree children should see this had nothing to do with this entire point because it’s not about the context of the video, it’s about the representation being gained from it. But continue to act dumb and ask hypotheticals, it will surely lead to the info you want
Imagine being so sad you have to find a pic of me and my dog and say this lmao. I have never touched that, but nice way to show you have nothing else to say when intellectually challenged but petty insults. Way to go bud!

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
