Texas Judge F'ed Us...

 

Conservative judges have been picking away at ACA since its inception.  In the last few years they've gone after reproductive matters or things that impact the Gay community & trans.  Now an asshat texan judge declared it against the law to require free screening or free meds.  This doesn't just concern HIV, it also hits cancer & other ailments.  

These bastards want people to be in poverty, misery & utter hopelessness.  They're trying to make more babies living in poverty who can't get out because everything is too expensive.  There won't be good educations for these children, the republican asshats have gutted that as well.  These people will be so low, the conservatives hope they'll be happy with whatever scraps they're given.  

The republicans want an impoverished, poor, ignorant theocracy where religion is a mouthpiece about how important guns are & that the poor deserve what they get.  These people are monsters.

PS - Had out 1st mowing yesterday, that was rough on us.

Still Trying...

I'm still trying to get past this crap.  I've been dealing with this since last Friday night.  I'm on a week, my roomie's past that.  We're both better but not great.  The weather's shifting again, we're expecting storms tonight & tomorrow.  That won't help anyone.  We'll do what we can.  

Take care.

Starting...

I'm by no means at 100%, probably more like somewhere in the upper 60s.  Still, it's better than I was before.  I'm trying to get my normal schedule back.   Have to wait & see how that works out for me.  

This article, while a little wordy does discuss the importance of understanding HIV through the lens or race, gender & biological sex.   Many people getting twitchy about admitting the physical reality than all racial ethnic backgrounds can have some differing medical needs.  This a physical thing as well sociocultural.  

There is the idea of gender.  But perceiving yourself as a gender is not the same as being raised that gender.  There are probably still a lot behaviors closer to what the person was assigned than they feel like.  The sexual behaviors & attitudes of women; cis & trans, often differ.

Finally the aspect of actual biological sex does play a large role in how medicine works.  The body of chemistry & composition of a person born female does not match that of male or transgender.  There needs to be more research concerning this.

We live in a world where woman, especially those of color, are the most apt to be impacted by HIV.  Why are we still studying men & trans more?  If a cure is to be had, biologically born women will have to be at the top of the list, not all but pushed aside.

Lot's of Ows, But Maybe...

 

Shopping had to be postponed a day.  But I think I can handle a small today.  I'm still not great & there's some coughing.  The worst part is the ache & soreness post coughing.   I'm dehydrated & need to figure out something I can easily eat.  

That's about it for now.  Hopefully this goes smoothly.  Take care.

Still Feel Like Crap...

 

I'm still sick.   In some ways I think I'm getting better, but not others.  I'm aching & having issues breathing.  At the moment, I'm fairly exhausted.  That's all for now.

Missed...

 

I missed a post yesterday.  I had to have my roomie drive me to get meds for crap I'm enduring.  I saw this morning I hadn't posted.  This is a place holder.

Bad March Morning...

 

March is trying so hard to impress with it's suckatude.  The allergens have been in the red.  High winds have been blowing who knows what.  It's been a temperature roller coaster.   Yesterday it rained 4+"  in like 12 hours.   I had to go to bed early for me.  I felt fairly off.  It was not an easy night & slept far longer than I usually do.  I woke a couple of times to painful cough fits.  March is trying to do me in.

This is all for now.
