yeah it's crazy but i literally have not felt any sexual desire in the last three days but i also know if my girlfriend were here i'd be absentmindedly trying to make her cum every half hour because i like watching her during, maybe out of boredom, idk? i brought my vibrator back with me and i don't feel like using it. i mostly just want to cuddle and put my head on her chest again. is this what It is like. did i get denji'd. i just really wish she was here for me to sleep with, i was worried she had a fever when we slept together because she got so incredibly warm but it was just how much we both heated each other up. neither of us minded either, and i don't think we would have even if we did start sweating, it was too blissful to be intertwined. like sleeping next to the sun. the softest sun with the sweetest voice. i miss her.

The FDA is becoming a political weapon

Marty Makary’s resignation is not just another staffing shakeup. It is a warning sign about where Trumpworld wants to take America’s public

David Pakman at The David Pakman Show:

This week, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary resigned. At first glance, that might not sound like the kind of story that should set off alarms. Cabinet officials come and go. Administrations reshuffle personnel all the time. But this one matters. A lot. Because the circumstances surrounding Makary’s resignation tell us something much bigger about what is happening inside Trumpworld and the growing influence of the MAHA movement. The pressure campaign against Makary appears to have come from people who believed he was not moving aggressively enough in politicizing the FDA. Think about how extreme that is for a moment. Makary himself had already drifted significantly into the MAHA orbit. He was not exactly standing on the barricades defending traditional public health institutions from political interference. And yet, even he apparently was not “crazy enough” for the people now steering the conversation around health policy in Trumpworld. That should concern everyone, regardless of political ideology.

The FDA is supposed to be independent

The FDA is not meant to function as a political loyalty machine. Its role is to evaluate evidence, regulate medications, assess safety, and maintain scientific standards insulated from partisan pressure as much as possible. Of course, presidents influence agencies. That has always been true. No administration is completely hands-off. But what we are seeing now is different. There is a growing effort to treat the FDA as though it should simply deliver whatever outcome the president and his allies want. Faster approvals for favored treatments. Restrictions or revocations for politically disfavored medications. Decisions shaped less by scientific review and more by ideological alignment. And over the last month alone, we have seen several examples pointing in exactly that direction.

RFK Jr., SSRIs, and the growing anti-science movement

At the same time, the MAHA movement has escalated its attacks on SSRIs and psychiatric medications more broadly. These are medications taken by tens of millions of Americans, including drugs like Prozac, Lexapro, and Zoloft. Now, to be clear, discussions about overprescription, side effects, pharmaceutical industry influence, or long-term impacts are completely legitimate. Those conversations should happen. But that is not really what this is becoming. Instead, we are increasingly seeing public health policy shaped by personalities, anecdotes, and conspiratorial thinking. RFK Jr. recently suggested that withdrawal from SSRIs can be harder than heroin withdrawal, essentially positioning his personal experience with addiction as evidence of expertise on psychiatric medications and FDA regulation.

The FDA under RFK Jr. and Trump has become a politicized machine neglecting its public health focus.

Like a drip of sweat went down my hand when I pulled my hands away!!!

Im gonna go in and sit in silence and hopefully im not sweating so bad when I actually clock in

I was warned that the heat would affect me more with my medication but I wasn’t expecting this! I thought it’d be inside heat! Like I’m overheating but not visibly!
