  • Okay so the infection was not gone and its back after I had lab work yesterday and needed to wear gloves for a few hours

    I did a bleach bath last night but was still scratching in my sleep. Im gonna get some disinfectant today and wipe all my stuff down and keep the baths going. You’re only supposed to do like 2, 3 max a week but if wearing gloves is causing the infection to explode I dont know how to time the baths so it minimizes how much bacteria is there in the first place.

    Im very annoyed at myself because when I first realized it was infected like 2 weeks ago I did a bath a day for 3 days in a row because it was so bad and then was afraid of doing more. I had 4 days off work last weekend and couldve potentially done some then and maybe gotten rid of it entirely?

    Im spiraling and convinced myself that now that its colonized ill have it for the rest of my life (which would be annoying but not the end of the world if I kept up with the treatments) and just feel like shit dealing with so many flareup and health issues at the same time sadness-abysmal



  • I agree that an organization in and of itself shouldnt be a social club, I also think they should try to have leftist forms of social clubs for agitation and recruitment

    There should be a zero tolerance policy for “developing relationships” (getting friendly with intent to pursue, not so much making friends)

    I dont think this could meaningfully be enforced and id worry about it being weaponized against more marginalized comrades like trans femmes. But I do think serial dating in orgs should be at least looked at if it’s between two people with an imbalance of power, whether that is age, or social capital, or actual leadership position

    We’re in hell since it needs to be said but any org should have a zero tolerance policy against sexual violence. Unfortunately, due to living inremoved culture there’s always a chance it will happen but as seen in this case, how people respond to it can be more traumatic than the actual act of violence





  • Started my elimination diet for real today and fucked up a little by not preparing any food last night so I didnt eat anything until I got home from work and grocery shopping

    I only drank water and still got itchy, mostly on my face, then the first thing I ate was

    Cw: animal product

    spoiler

    Broccoli with salt and beef tallow and white rice

    And its been like an hour and im itchy all over so I think its mostly environmental but I have my normal dyshidrotic eczema blisters that I usually get from food again so maybe food I had earlier this week was a trigger?

    Could also be my brother vaping a ton for the itchiness but probably not the blister

    This is the bane of my existence and I was having a flareup before he moved back in but its been so much worse since then


  • Id recommend looking at pinterest for outfit inspiration, you can sort the feed by body type

    Looking at capsule wardrobes (can also find on pinterest) in addition to whatever outfit inspiration can be helpful because they’ll highlight the basics youll need to make said outfits

    Finding clothes with more personality is a lot cheaper but more time consuming (and in person) if you start in thrift stores, especially if youre just starting to find your style and might not end up liking things as much as you think you will.

    Or depop. If youre willing to look at the individual listings for whatever, if any, flaws the clothes have

    But for clothing stores other than Amazon, if youre in the US, old navy and their sister brands have sales pretty often. Aerie has only feminine clothes but they run really, really large if youre into that.



  • I think the random itchiness, eyes stinging, and coughing I’ve had recently has mostly been my brothers cat hair and possibly from him vaping (im allergic to most vape juice).

    We have central air and cat dander can travel through the vents and almost all of the attacks happen when im at my desk, right under the vent, or on my bed, also near the vent.

    I think the infection is gone but even though I’ve mostly had beef, rice, and broccoli the past few days, I have more blisters again. This week im starting the elimination diet for real so ill hopefully find out if the current eczema on my arm/the blisters on my hand are from food or environmental.
