With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
@Sharpsalot15@MyLeigee@TotallyNotMark Not everyone watches for every bit of media news. If it's literally tied to your income, job, or similar, sure, but some go to work, come home, enjoy some of Mark's content enough to follow, then go game or socialize, maybe catching a couple local headlines once in a while
@4Headboiii Yup, though there is no hypno content to .hack. It starts with one person being "stuck in VR MMORPG unable to logout" in .hack//sign, eventually builds to a crisis of that same game causing comas in a 4-part series of PS2 games, and kept building on its lore for multiple series.
@Nettleseeds_Art I tend to like large, full-eyed spirals, but smaller ones in the irises, or similar like the 2nd image, are also enjoyable. I also have enjoyed spirals over "normal" (or glazed over?) eyes, which is not really represented in this set of images.
@ADHDForReal "Excuse" implies no responsibility, so usually is whether or not you take ownership of the outcome. That does not mean you caused the issue, but that you take ownership for where things are at now.
Example: Late because of standard rush hour is an excuse, shoulda planned ahead.
@ParaNormaVT Same thing happened to another streamer playing Fable 2:
Someone remixed Fable 2 music
DMCA'd based on that
When she pushed back on the claim showing when Fable 2 came out vs. the remixes, came back in too short a time frame for a human to have reviewed, saying "DMCA's valid"
@abrainwashedmel From the top side, it's a singular-minded focus, whether that be me, submission, lust, mantras, "the brainwashing," tasks given, etc. that it feels like there's nothing else, detached from worry, social pressure, and self-awareness
Thoughts all "handled in the background"
Call to action: 50 protests, 50 states, one day.
Where: Your local capitol buildings
When: Feb 5th. 4pm EST/1pm PST
Start spreading the news. Get up and get out. #USprotests#Feb5
@abrainwashedmel Been dealing with stuff for months myself that the same thought process fits. Getting better, damn is it tiring to push through, but it is a good, known direction, albeit slow.
Glad your stuff is improving and you know it's progress, you'll get there!
@EllaEnchanting1 This is why I have FEELZ about phrases like "powerful hypnosis/hypnotist." Sure, hypnosis, in general, can be powerful, but I mean when used like "they are a powerful hypnotist" like a comic book villain's supernatural mind control power

@abrainwashedmel What I'm hearing is that you're either more conditioned than you think you are, or don't find yourself thinking at all about how conditioned you are
Either way, the post is appreciated 😝
@CodyDarkstalker@h_sleepingirl Not only intense, but has a history of doctors not believing it's real or even blacklisting dr's who act like it is. Do your homework on someone who actually believes Chronic Lyme to be a thing...
@dalton_hypnosin Agreed on basic response:
Furry is not a dynamic, just a person's identity, with zero kink/relationship implication on its own
Pet implies dynamic w/ an owner/handler, a relationship with inherent power imbalance, implying some level of kink involved due to that power imbalance
@swarmingbats Unfortunately feels par for the course for almost any ER I've been at >.>
(only one that had any speed to it was one not physically connected to a full hospital, but had all facilities and resources to officially be called an ER, still was half a day gone...)
