Clotrimazole. I often have had it prescribed in the past, but it’s just sold as Lotrimin over the counter. Works wonders. This used to happen to me every other summer, and the Clotrimazole would clear it up within days.

Not sure if you know what’s causing it or not. For me, I got in the habit of wearing jeans during the hot, humid summers because I wanted to be hip and cool and I look not good in shorts. Jock itch would inevitably start until I finally got it in my head to just wear shorts in the summer, who cares how I look. Also, while you’re trying to clear it up, make sure you dry really really well down there. Like dry it, then dry it again, then dry it again. Obviously you should keep that area dry in general, but for now just try to make sure it’s extra dry.

Alberta is the Idaho of Canada

I believe she’s talking about her friendship with Lorraine Hansberry here

To Be Young Gifted and Black was written about Hansberry (To Be Young Gifted and Black was also a Hansberry play). One of my favorite Nina Simone performances is this performance which she dedicated to Hansberry, who died a few years prior. Better than the studio version imo.

Definitely fragile poops. Not sure what that means but I’ve been having digestive troubles lately so I feel like I relate

so BMF?

If Lenin were alive he’d absolutely be a poster

wow she’s retweeting Breakthrough News and Abby Martin and her instagram is nearly all pro-Palestine stuff, she seems pretty alright.

haha no I was joking I think it’s actually chapel

Thank you, looks like I got most of them, I just couldn’t figure out orange and brown

I wish there was a key on what each color meant.

Also I’m pretty sure agriculture existed in the eastern woodlands of the us by 500 bc

This is simultaneously really funny but also really depressing that there’s a significant chunk of the population that needs to take extremely powerful psychedelics just to come to the conclusion of “I hate my job.”

such a nostalgic album for me too. I could’ve gone to see them live like right after The Money Store came out but my mom wouldn’t let me go cause it was a weekday and she thought all the people I would’ve gone with were “druggies”

Check it out…Hey look at me I’m Pete Townshend!

As far as I know, there hasn’t been any conclusions about where covid-19 evolved.

Afaik the direct ancestor hasn’t been found, but every coronavirus from which Covid-19 evolved comes from Southeast Asia. SARS splits off a bit before evolution into Covid-19 so the one can’t be descended from the other.

That’s my understanding at least. Vietnam, Cambodia, anywhere in that region I’m willing to accept, but beyond that I think you need lab leak to make the theory work. Fort Detrick I’m not opposed to but there are mountains of evidence pointing to natural origins and calling into question not just lab leak from China, but lab leak in general, so I’m more inclined towards natural origins.

Looking into this more rn it seems another reason China was identified as the origin point is because initially that was where we found COVID’s closest known relative - in Yunnan specifically. However it seems that even closer relatives have now been found in Laos. Still not a direct ancestor, but you might be right that Covid didn’t originate in China itself.

Do you have a source for this stuff? I’m not an expert by a long shot, but I’ve never read anything suggesting that sars-cov-2 was descended from sars-cov-1, in fact most things I’ve read say they are completely different lineages.
