To cut that skin or not: Circumcision

To some this news might be an entirely uninteresting story. THREE residents of Lapu-Lapu City received P10,000 cash each for submitting themselves to a free circumcision despite their age. The recipients, ages 22, 25, and 28, got circumcised along with 927 others at Hoopsdome, Lapu-Lapu City on Thursday, July 27, 2023. They volunteered to be circumcised after Mayor Junard Chan posted on…

vitamin infused…

I love fruit infused water. I think it’s one of my favorite summer beverages. One because it’s so easy to make but two because it’s super hydrating and can be customized a hundred different ways. 

My favorite fruit infused water blend right now (single serve) is 2 sliced fresh strawberries, 2 slices of lime, and a cube of fresh pineapple with ice. Pour in some of my favorite artisan water and let chill in the refrigerator overnight or for one to two hours.

Sign and Symptoms of Low Immunity

Introduction

The immune system plays a vital role in protecting our bodies from infections and maintaining overall health. However, there are instances when the immune system may not function properly, leading to various health issues. In this article, we will explore the warning signs that may indicate immune system problems. While these signs can have multiple causes, understanding them can prompt further evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Cold Hands:

Inflamed blood vessels can make it difficult for certain body parts, such as fingers, toes, ears, and nose, to stay warm. This condition, known as "Raynaud's phenomenon," can be associated with immune system problems or other factors like smoking and certain medications.

Bathroom Problems:

Persistent diarrhea lasting more than 2 to 4 weeks may indicate immune system-related damage to the lining of the small intestine or digestive tract. Conversely, constipation and hard-to-pass bowel movements could suggest immune-driven intestinal slowing or other underlying health conditions.

Dry Eyes:

Individuals with autoimmune disorders, where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, may experience dry eyes. Symptoms can include a gritty sensation, pain, redness, stringy discharge, or blurred vision. Difficulty shedding tears, even during emotional situations, may also occur.

Fatigue:

Unexplained and extreme fatigue, resembling flu-like exhaustion, may indicate immune system dysregulation. This persistent tiredness is unlikely to improve with rest and may be accompanied by joint or muscle aches. Other factors should be considered before attributing fatigue solely to immune system problems.

Mild Fever:

An elevated temperature above normal may indicate an increased workload on the immune system due to an impending infection or autoimmune flare.

Headaches:

In certain cases, headaches can be linked to immune system dysfunction. Inflammation of blood vessels, known as vasculitis, can result from infections or autoimmune diseases and contribute to headache development.

Rash:

Skin conditions can reflect the performance of the immune system. Itchy, dry, and red skin often indicates inflammation. Persistent or painful rashes may also be present. For instance, individuals with lupus may develop a characteristic butterfly-shaped rash across the nose and cheeks.

Joint Ache:

Inflammation of the lining surrounding joints can cause tenderness, swelling, and stiffness. Morning stiffness is common, and multiple joints may be affected simultaneously.

Patchy Hair Loss:

The immune system can attack hair follicles, leading to conditions like alopecia areata, characterized by hair loss on the scalp, face, or other body parts. Hair loss can also be a symptom of certain autoimmune disorders such as lupus.

Repeated Infections:

Frequent reliance on antibiotics (more than twice a year for adults and four times for children) may indicate compromised immune function. Recurrent sinus infections, multiple ear infections in a year (for those above the age of 4), or frequent pneumonia are additional red flags.

Sensitivity to Sun:

Individuals with autoimmune disorders may experience an allergic reaction to UV rays, called photodermatitis. Symptoms may include blisters, rash, scaly patches, chills, headaches, or nausea after sun exposure.

Tingling or Numbness in Hands and Feet:

Numbness or tingling in the extremities can be a result of the immune system attacking the nerves responsible for muscle signaling. Conditions such as Guillain-Barre syndrome or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) may cause these symptoms.

Trouble Swallowing:

Swelling or weakness in the esophagus can lead to difficulty swallowing, feelings of food being stuck, gag.

Gummsi Immunity Gummies are a delightful remedy for strengthening your immune system. These delectable gummies blend nature's finest ingredients, providing a burst of vibrant flavors. Each gummy contains a potent blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and natural extracts to nurture your immune system. With their enchanting taste and powerful formula, Gummsi Immunity Gummies become your daily companion for vitality and resilience. Embrace their magic and let them awaken the strength within you.

Conclusion:

Recognizing the warning signs of immune system problems is crucial for prompt diagnosis and appropriate medical intervention. Symptoms such as cold hands, bathroom problems, dry eyes, fatigue, mild fever, headaches, rashes, joint aches, patchy hair loss, repeated infections, sun sensitivity, tingling/numbness, trouble swallowing, unexplained weight changes, white patches on the skin, and yellowing of the skin or eyes can indicate immune system dysregulation. However, it is important to note that these signs can also be attributed to other factors. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment to address any underlying immune system issues effectively.

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

#and also. not the direct focus. but love doesn't make things good. you can be in love and do terrible terrible things. #people do bad things in the name of love and in despite of love all the time. #but!! imagine a world where people could exist as people and not be demonized. #sex positivity means being cool about All sex. reexamine your internal systems of moral judgement. #this goes for sex workers. for aroallo people. especially aroallo men. for aro people in general who might enjoy sex. #and frankly i think it can easily bleed into discussions about mental health disorders around 'not feeling' certain things #especially demonizing ppl who don't feel as much empathy. i think there's definitely a correlation between that and the emphasis on love. #our support needs to go out to Everybody and i think these things are all structured together in one way or another!! #it might not be immediately obvious but when i tell you it all leads back to amatonormativity..... little bit wild.... large bit wild.... #anyway. horror movie psychopath 'oh he can't feel emotions or love' damn alright. well. let's take a closer look at that. #silly that there's an association between lack of love and Murdering. feel like that might affect some stuff. #love is just an emotion/a feeling it doesn't mean anything about you one way or another #same with empathy. you can feel it all you want but it doesn't inherently change the actions you choose to take #anyway. thesis statement. there is a socially constructed link between love and morality. unlearn that. #kiss kiss (<— lovelessly) #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #talking #aroace #aspec #sex positivity

Alright. Willis Todd being an abusive father to Jason is a trope often utilized. Comparing this version of him to Bruce's reactions to Red Hood is fantastic. Lots to analyze there.

However, I raise you. There needs to be more fanwork addressing the classism behind Willis Todd being characterized as an abusive alcoholic. In some version of canon, Willis Todd was a good dad in a shitty situation. He was poor, his wife (Catherine) was sick, and he had a newborn baby he needed to provide for. In this horrid situation, where he has no family to fall back on and no higher education to obtain a decent well-paying job, he tries to get quick money. He's desperate to keep both his wife and son alive.

Catherine turns to drugs because it's easier and cheaper to buy drugs than healthcare. The pain she experiences is debilitating, and she'd do anything to not feel pain for one godsdamned second. Unfortunately, this turns into an addiction.

This ultimately shapes the way that Jason views crime. Bruce, while he may be sympathetic to individuals who resort to crime to pay their bills, will not understand huddling in Crime Alley in the dead of winter as he debates whether to buy food or pay for heating. He won't understand the bitterness, hatred, pain, and resignation of never having enough money to survive as you get chewed up again and again.

If Jason's dad is just an abusive criminal, that not only perpetuates the notion that all criminals are evil, but it will shape how Jason views those who commit crime. Breaking the law doesn't make someone bad. There's plenty of reasons people commit crime, whether to survive, protect someone, or something else. The issue, especially in Gotham, is the system that perpetuates wealth inequality through bribes and unethical governmental practices.

Anyway, I think Jason's Red Hood is more fleshed out if it accounts for him acknowledging the desperation behind goons and small-time criminals because he grew up without other options.

#dc comics #dc universe #jason todd #catherine todd #willis todd #as far as i know catherine's health problems (outside addiction) are implied but not explicitly stated #yes jason did crime as well as a kid but seeing your father commit crime to survive is another matter #bruce commits crime out of choice not survivalistic need #bruce has suffered but he doesn't have this experience or understanding that Jason did #bruce and jason can both understand logically that gotham systems are fucked but jason knows it intimately #jason being bitter and angry at the world for the wealth inequality and corrupt/cruel systems in place should come up more

was going through old posts and happened upon this one about how the doctor has a deep tendency to latch onto the first face they see after regenerating and, specifically, how the first person thirteen interacted with was grace, who immediately died. and how that kinda fits with the sense of unmooredness her regeneration has.

and now I’m just thinking about the implications of the first face the fifteenth doctor sees being his own. the person he has the strongest attachment and feeling of responsibility to, the person he draws the most comfort from, being himself.

dopamine detox challenge⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🍰

the definition of a dopamine detox is fasting from activities or pleasures that produce dopamine so that the drive for quick rewards decreases.

dopamine is naturally made by the brain. however, things like alcohol, caffeine, sugar, social media, video games, and substance use can sharply increase dopamine levels and lead to a type of addiction. and thats not hot ✨

BENEFITS OF THE DOPAMINE DETOX CHALLENGE ;

clarity

productivity

self awareness

self reflection

time management skills

self control

WHY DO A DOPAMINE DETOX ANYWAYS? ;

its true that dopamine produces pleasant sensations. when the body gets too much dopamine from different activities, it can start to require more and more dopamine to create those “good feelings”.

this can cause ur default mood levels to drop and in the long run leave you feeling worse and more unhappy over time.

SO WHATS THE CHALLENGE ;

step one - put a time limit on your phone or computer or whatever device that u find ur spending the most time on. put time limits on apps like tiktok, tumblr, instagram etc.

theres no need to put time limits on apps like your camera roll, text messages, apps that u use for school etc.

step two - when u wake up in the morning, do NOT check ur phone first thing in the morning. in fact, dont even pick up ur phone until an hour after wake up time.

step three - step one and two were for doing dopamine detox on a regular basis (daily/weekly), but if u wanna do a longer dopamine detox (monthly) get off of social media for an agreed amount of time and once you've completed that dopamine fast REWARD yourself.

ofc thats more extreme, but you know whats best for you and you know what u need the most so thats all you ✨

step four - find another activity to do. pick up a hobby that u used to enjoy doing or pick up an entirely new hobby. find something else to do OTHER than using ur phone. check the things to do while on a dopamine detox post so you can gather some inspo.

doing a dopamine detox can help you to take control of your mind and ur habits and push you towards the next level of you. and it improves ur mental health in the long run ✨

I really appriciate how often Machete is depicted struggling and feeling like a burden, while still being loved and supported by Vasco. It gives the top tier angst of "i'm not good enough, I'm not worth it" but you frame it in such a way where it's clear that's just how he *feels* and is not how things really are, but also it's so nice to see someone who struggles quite often in a loving and unique relationship that suits them. The narrative of not being able to love or be loved unless you're consistently healthy is really tiring lol.

.

#ah thank you! I'm so glad these themes come through the way I intended #this touches on something that I've been thinking a lot so sorry if this gets a bit ranty #but I have massive personal beef with the sentiment “you have to love yourself before you can love someone else/someone else can love you ” #I hate it with a passion #I know it's meant to encourage positive growth and I get that self-love and healthy self-image are something you should strive for #but it also sort of sends the message that people who struggle with these sort of issues don't deserve to be loved #not until they reach some external invisible standard of “okay I'm normal and well adjusted now” #“perhaps now I'm worthy of entering a relationship without the danger of dragging the other person down with me” #people who aren't in perfect health mentally or physically already feel like they're inconveniencing others with their mere existence #depriving them of the possibility or even the idea of loving and being loved won't make them better #it's just a stupid idiom it doesn't matter but to me it just comes across as unspeakably cruel way to think #and it rustles my jimmies #answered #anonymous
