just found out today i have covid for the first time (as far as i’m aware etc, i worked grocery ‘19-‘23 so prior asymptomatic infection is likely). the lack of easy to find, science-backed info on what to do for covid infections in 2026 is INFURIATING. i’ve spent the last few hours just trying to figure out if paxlovid is worth it, and if so if i can even access it or afford it now that it’s no longer free in the US 😭 sending you love & solidarity, i’ve been horrified by the way we’ve handled the pandemic this whole time but today has really spiked my anger around it

Eeek, I'm so sorry about the COVID :( it is such a pain to try and navigate getting treatment now that they've paywalled it. Maybe some followers will be aware of best practices for lowering your chances of long term impact... anyone out there have info about that? I've read a few things about how important rest/not pushing yourself at all during the initial infection can be to preventing development of long COVID/worsening long COVID symptoms but I don't know much else.

Copy-pasting @subluxurious from the notes:

Start taking a daily antihistamine, it can help. Neti pot saline nasal rinse twice a day (please twice boil water and let it cool before using it inside your nose) this can help reduce the viral load in your sinuses if it's present there. Also gargling the same kind of rinse for reducing load in your throat. If you are the type to be sick for longer than others it's worth trying to get paxlovid, although current research is showing it's not as effective as it was previously in 2024 (bc of new mutations).

The biggest thing to help you avoid getting Long COVID is 1) try to access metformin if you can, it reduces your chances of LC by 50% (doesn't do anything if you already have LC tho) 2) practice radical rest for at least a month post acute phase. And please take it super seriously. Absolutely no cardio or anything that makes your heart rate high for a long time. No exercise, no weight lifting, no running.

Treat your body like as if you already have MECFS and rest more than you think is necessary. This is the biggest factor that can determine if you end up with LC or not.

I think a juicy dynamic and one I think we as a Fandom should dig deeper into is the fact that metros didnt actually have serious issues with Shane pre-coming out. Thats their boy, and their captain, and they love him. They are his ride or die, thats Hollzy, he led us to 3 Stanley cups. Shane was a great captian and great leader, ilyas just better in this regard. Doesn't mean he was floundering and incapable of being a leader. He was very capable and his 3 cups prove it. However being near him once he comes out and especially post fanmail he becomes a very loud threat to the metros masculinity by association and therefore must be cast out.

Masculinity is performative and because it is so nebulous and changing you are constantly have to re-assert it over and over again. And once you are deemed to no longer have it, it is almost impossible to get it back. (Please go watch Dr. Shawn's hot takes with citations on this concept). To associate with an openly gay man in their field is to draw into question their masculinity.

As a result of this, to preserve their masculinity, they throw Shane, a guy they were friends with, a man they respected, under the bus to save face. It feels so out of nowhere because it is, becuase this is how homophobia and misogyny works. After the dust of the fanmail video and tripgate settles, the metros all have to deal with the guilt of what they did and the friend they lost. Some will deflect, some will probably never realize or acknowledge what they did, some will do the work, sit in the guilt, and realize their cowardice.

The Metros’s love for Shane was far more conditional than even they realized. As long as they got cup rings because of him, they adored him. Once he threatened their masculinity they turned on him. But OP is right. That doesn’t mean they never valued their captain. They did. Or at least they valued the leader they had convinced themselves he was.

They liked Shane better as the efficient, sexless hockey robot than as the human being. So they tried to force him to stick to the role they’d assigned to him, instead of accepting him as a human being with complexity and strong emotions.

The real Shane was a quirky, neurotic guy who’d fallen deeply in love with his rival and risked his career to be with him. That wasn’t the Hollzy they wanted. That Hollzy was passionate, and inconveniently, not just about hockey. That Hollzy refused to apologize for being gay. Or, later, for falling in love with Ilya.

So they turned on him. But they did admire and even love him first. Even though they didn’t really know him. And reacted badly whenever he tried to show them the real person beneath the facade. Shane coming out to his team was him trying to be honest with them. Trying to share a part of his true self.

Their reaction says more about their insecurity in their own masculinity and heterosexuality than it does about Shane. They were marinating in toxic masculinity, and when they discovered they had idolized someone who wasn’t a “real man”, they were horrified.

Consider this: cis Shane, trans Ilya, he's so popular with women because he's Been There Done That, he knows what Feels Good, but also, it's the most validating thing ever when gay gay jockiest jock gay boy Shane Hollander wants him and sucks his tdick like it's his last meal, like it's never enough. He has to act cool and act like he's not overstimulated to hell and back, grabbing Shane by his hair and pulling him off "So greedy for my dick, Hollander, I haven't even touched you yet" he says it so normally so steadily, absolutely not getting dizzy at the sight of Shane already so dick drunk on his knees between his legs.

Shane also always makes sure to mention how big his dick got since the last time they've seen each other. How nicely he has grown...

The best thing is! When it comes to topping, he gets to choose the size! He always gets to choose the size!

He is stocked up, i imagine him having a full collection of strap-ons, always pulling out the right size from the toolbox.

No wonder he's everyone's favourite, the man always has the right equipment with him to please a lover.

There is one strap he only keeps for Shane, though. Their relationship deepens when one time after a hookup, they shop online for a dildo that Shane wants to try out. Shane is blushing the whole time, feeling too greedy, tries to reassure Ilya that it's Not that he didn't enjoy the previous times, he just really wants to experiment and and-

While Ilya is just laughing to himself, already anticipating the next time they can meet and try it.

I also. Perhaps. Perchance. Would like to put it out there that myIlya owns a strapless strap where the other side of it goes inside him because sometimes he Does get needy and since neither of them are comfortable with Shane topping, it is the only possible solution. And the harder he thrusts into Shane, the harder it hits his own g-spot and also his tdick, and Shane absolutely goes batshit crazy when he starts to feel Ilya's thrusts getting greedier and harsher as he's chasing his own orgasm..... Maybe they come at the same time, as a little treat....Ilya pulsing around the strap and shaking for a good few minutes...it feels so good to fuck his Shane, to make his Shane feel so soo good while he also feels so so good and filled... Everyone wins...

Goodnight... (It's 11AM...)

if you could see the thread i'm hanging on by you would not say these things to me

[askaniritual]

i just don’t think “is dude gender neutral” is that productive of a conversation because a word can be gendered and still used regardless of gender. i call my male friends girlypop and my female friends man but i don’t think anybody would agree that those are somehow not gendered terms.

the real question is just “would you be willing to apologize and stop using a word if somebody told you it made them uncomfortable?” the answer to which in a surprising number of cases is no mostly because it seems like overall ppl r more upset abt getting accused of transphobia than they are abt being transphobic
