Yeah, I eat bean sprouts, raw milk, and rare meats (including chicken that MIL swears will kill me not by bacteria, but by getting up off the plate and attacking outright) and I don't run around with salmonella and other horrible diseases all the time. I also roll around with cows and chickens and puppies and…

At least unions got to hold onto something in 2014.

Because so long as vasectomies, penile dysfunction medications, and care for men's reproductive health is covered, not covering birth control is discriminatory action. We'd be happy to drop the discussion if anyone was offering to drop coverage for male-specific reproductive treatment in its entirety from all offered…

The only good thing about this ruling is that we FINALLY got some much-needed, and very long-awaited, clarification to the nonsense that came from Citizens United.

I live here, and I went to this particular place by stroke of luck. It is made clear, and the food is pretty good. San Antonio is heavily tourist, so relying on tips to make your rent is not the best idea. I like this approach, since the waitresses get a steady check, and the library gets some needed funding.

I hop on specifically to post new statuses when I feel like something is worth sharing (so, when I accomplish things), and my feed has not yet gone massively smug as a result. I have noticed that my timeline only updates with shit they want me to see, though, so maybe they just hold back the smug from my friends more…

I know this reply is WAY LATE, but I just found the article via a link from the new Lane Bryant 1922 ad article. Anyways.

It has been at an average of 95 in this part of Texas, with my car reading the outside temp as 99 for the last three days. Parking lots are concrete or asphalt, which both cause much higher temperatures than dirt or grass areas- 2 hours in a parked car is more deadly than two days in the elements here. FWIW, I have…

Me again! Any pregnancy-related costs which are not covered by a woman's insurance in La may be paid by the LaMOMS program, which is secondary Medicaid for women whose regular coverage will not pay for their pregnancy treatment. There is an income limit, but they do not verify income pretty much ever, in the…

Fun facts:

Oh, he is.

Any time ^.^

Just search "fungal vaccine", then. Even on Google, NCBI gets 90% of the hits. There are a lot of them that feel they are close, but none that have actually managed to work yet. A one-off success here and there, but nothing reliable- which makes fungus terrifying and interesting.

I am a shinies hunter. I love games…

It felt more like medical law and a degree in CYA than "the art and science of fixing humans". Clinic rounds were no better in that regard. I kept trying to get work in the field at the home health and hospice offices I worked at, and instead would be assigned to admin work. (Soul sucking, terrible, shit work. We are…

If you went around and found all of the journals and notes and recordings, you would know before the surgery that they had tried this time and again, and Ellie was not nearly the only person who had developed immunity. Every time, they had failed to create a vaccine. There would be more people who were immune,…

I figure that a good way to talk about things and actually get shit done about it in the end is to go about doing it in a way that does not just make people defensive, which is actually repeatedly proven in many studies to cause humans to become much LESS likely to change their stance or actions in a given situation.
T…

Hi from Texas, and yes, please. I'd vote to set them up in the middle of San Antonio so I could eat there at the cafe we'd ask them to build, but I am sure that Austin hipsters would fight us for it.
Honestly, I've made similar recipes before, and people will whine so hard about that, and "fish smell" if you cook…

There is an entire culture of Sugar Daddy seekers at Tulane University, using it to pay for law school. She is not moral by even the shadiest standards, but morality and intelligence are separate beings.

That's actually incredibly hurtful. My daughter is a beautiful, healthy, sweet child. I have always made sure to involve myself in community service and help others as often as I can. What did we do wrong to deserve that comment?

Kissing someone who ate gluten can literally cause a full-on reaction and transfer more gluten than cross contamination of food. I've dated gluten eaters, but my health improved considerably when I stopped. All of the residual effects of gluten are gone. It's been nice.
