"Be that as it may, Mister Hiller, I fancy you the most comely gen'lman here." "*scoff* gen'lman! Bloody hell." "Mind your tongue." "Aye, dearest." … "Sarah…" "Hm?" "You appear t'be holdin' my hand."

Current progress:

€ 11,015 13,273 / 25,000 (FINAL GOAL)

Abdel Mutei has confirmed that €25,000 is the final goal and not the first goal. The initial goal of €50,000 (changed recently) was a mistake. Proof under cut.

Campaign/family details:

This family consists of Abdel Mutei (husband) and Shaima (wife), their young daughter Juri, and Abdel Mutei's elderly parents. The gfm page and some of his posts imply more family members, but only these people are involved in this campaign. I got this info from Abdel Mutei himself (proof under cut).

They were displaced roughly 2 months after Oct 7 after their home was bombed and has been displaced twice since.

They currently live in a small tent. Living conditions are poor and all members are suffering from malnutrition.

The children have recently contacted scabies, a highly contagious skin infection causing great itchiness and discomfort.

Juri is suffering from depression and psychological trauma at the age of 2.

Update Aug 27: Juri is suffering from seizures.

They are seeking to evacuate.

Damn, I should’ve put “had mange as a child” on my oddly specific experiences poll. Oh well.

[relahospital-16]

The main cause of scabies are infection of the tiny mites and the infection can spread through furniture, clothes and bedding. In order to know how to identify scabies, we need to remember that they may show up with symptoms such as intense itching, rashes and bumps.

it's already been a Rough Fucking Day and then Angry came out to yell at and hang up on our wife bc she fell into a self-pity spiral after the dog pissed on the bed and started begging to die which is a huge trigger for us since an older friend kept begging to die when we were younger

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

would you like to tell us about your research on virginity?

but also...wdym STIs aren't as scary as we think??? I was told most of them are incurable? I know you can make aids untrasmittable and that they've even succeded in curing it a couple times but that's about it. I would love to be educated about this

yeah, the basic idea with the virginity project was that the whole concept of virginity is pretty bullshit in the context in which it was initially significant, namely cisgender women being penetrated by cisgender men, so as soon as you take it outside of that context by introducing gay and trans sexuality it totally falls apart. I mean, hell, it stops working if you even look at two cishet people doing literally anything OTHER than penis-in-vagina sex. I tripped up so many people initially when I started asking questions like "okay, so you don't think a woman loses her virginity from a man going down on her. so what if it's two women? what's the difference?" and just really getting people to face down their very penis-centered view of the sex, to the result of several people telling me that it kind of made them reevaluate what they actually think of as the first time they had sex. it's also fascinating to either read other people's accounts or discuss firsthand how queer people have either tried to make themselves fit into the binary of virginity - queer man disagreeing over whether or not you have to have penetrative anal sex to lose your virginity or oral sex is sufficient, a fascinating case of a lesbian who felt that have sex with other cis women didn't "count" and asked a cis male friend to have sex with her just so she could feel satisfied that she'd lost her virginity - or abandon it entirely. Hanne Blank's book Virgin was a formative starting point, and it really exploded for me from there.

as for the STIs - hey, bad news! you fell victim to the scare tactics used to make people afraid of sex! almost all sexually transmitted infections are very easy to treat and cure with the right medicine, which is why it's important to get tested regularly and check in with your healthcare provider at the first sign of something amiss. pubic lice, scabies, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis - all of those are pretty easy to get rid of with some help from your doctor and a run to the pharmacy!

the major exceptions are the 4 H's: herpes, HIV, HPV, and hepatitis B.

herpes is with you forever but is an incredibly mild companion to share your body with, considering most people never experience any notable symptoms and those who do can curb the severity with medicine.

it's also worth noting that herpes is so common as to be virtually ubiquitous; the World Health Organization consistently estimates that somewhere around 80% of the world's adult population is carrying herpes simplex virus 1 or herpes simplex virus 2. a great deal of those people don't even get it from having sex, but rather by catching HSV-1 from a parent or other people they come is close contact with as a child.

you're actually thinking of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) when you mention AIDS becoming untransmittable, but that's still a very good thing! the care available for people with HIV has come incredibly far since AIDS first became known and claimed so many lives, and today it's more than possible for people infected with HIV to live long, healthy lives by taking the proper medication to manage their viral load.

with management, people with HIV will not develop AIDS (which happens when the immune system is sufficiently depleted by HIV) and by consistently taking their medication people with HIV can become undetectable (the viral load in their body is too small to be detected or measured in tests), at which point they are unable to transmit the virus to other people.

HPV (human paillomavirus) comes in many different strains, most of which are absolutely harmless and go away on their own after a couple of months or years of freeloading in your body. I cannot emphasize this enough: HPV is so common that virtually everyone who has sex has, will have, or has had it in their lives, and the vast, VAST majority of those people will never be troubled by it literally at all.

the trouble comes from a few strains of HPV that can cause genital warts, and a few others that can cause cancers in the throat, anus, cervix, vulva, vagina, and penis. while HPV can't be treated, you can reduce your risk of developing cancer by getting the HPV vaccine if you haven't already and, if you have a cervix, getting regular Pap smears to catch early warning signs of cancerous developments.

hepatitis B is a viral infection that targets the liver. in rare cases it can cause chronic health problems that can be very dangerous, but I have to emphasize that's not common. in most adults who get hep B, there will be no symptoms and it will resolve itself in a matter of weeks. the infection is riskiest in children, but at least in America most people have received vaccines against hepatitis B as babies since the 90s.

in conclusion: get your shots, take your medicine, use protection, get tested, and talk to your doctor, but know that if there's one thing humans are good at it's figuring out how to manage STIs. we've been doing it for a long time - most sexually transmitted infections and parasites have been with us since before we we became modern humans - so we're really good at it!

Scabiosa gigantea (giant scabious)

What's in a name?

All flowers have a scientific name but many also sport a common name. With the exception of the stinking corpse lily (Rafflesia arnoldii), most of these common names are positive. Thus Helianthus becomes a sunflower and even the lowly Taraxacum officinale is called a dandelion. Now what could be more ego-enhancing that being compared to a well-dressed lion?

Other flowers are more often called by their scientific name. Campanulas may be known as bellflowers but everyone I know calls them campanulas. Similarly, Scabiosa may be called a pincushion plant but most people refer to them as scabiosas.

Scabiosa is a Latin word that refers to the insufferable scabies mite. This tiny human parasite causes unbelievable itching and is usually contracted with prolonged skin-to-skin contact with someone who is already infected (read: In adults it's usually a sexually transmitted disease). Children can also catch scabies from infected clothing and bedding as well as infected cats and dogs (it can cause 'mange' in pets). These days, a doctor will prescribe Kwellada lotion but in ancient times, rubbing the skin with this plant was the only remedy.

I caught scabies when I was nineteen. I was going through a bit of a sexual 'dry spell' at that time and I caught it from someone else's sleeping bag. I went to the doctor, bought a tube of Kwellada lotion, boiled all my bedding and clothing, and the itching was gone in two weeks. I offer this embarrassing confession as a public service announcement. I assure you, @flowerishness will return to less disturbing content tomorrow.

Medical Aid for Palestinians has reported over 4,100 preventable skin infections in Gaza since July. These infections include scabies, chickenpox, bullous impetigo, and Non-bullous impetigo.

MAP attributes the surge in these infectious diseases to a combination of high temperatures, Gaza's damaged sewage system, and the accumulation of solid waste over several months due to Israeli aggression.

"what made her ugly was - hope. incurable hope, like an obstinate case of scabies, which lodges, damp and reddish, in the infected skin, producing a constant itching, and refusing to yield to any outer force."

[yourlocalxenomorph3]

if you're the kind of person who thinks/says that certain species of insect/arthropod/"bug" need to be exterminated on the basis of their potential to spread disease, then i guess you should also advocate for extermination of cats (carriers and spreaders of rabies, toxoplasmosis, bartonella, etc), dogs (rabies, campylobacter, ringworm, etc), most livestock such as horses and cattle (rabies, encephalomyelitis, trichinella, etc), most rodents such as squirrels and prairie dogs (rabies, bubonic plague, hantavirus, leptospirosis, etc), most fish (mycobacterium, vibrio, salmonella, etc), most birds (salmonella, bird flu, psittacosis, etc), most reptiles (salmonella, serratia, e. coli, etc), and, wait for it...

humans (notorious carriers and spreaders of the common cold, influenza, covid, strep, herpes, measles, hepatitis, hiv, bubonic plague, ebola, pox, malaria, gonorrhea, chlamydia, whooping cough, syphilis, hpv, scabies, lice, rsv, staph and mrsa, ringworm, norovirus, etc).

humans are one of the biggest spreaders of disease, if not the biggest. you're probably more likely to receive an infection from another human than from an arthropod. does that mean we need to exterminate all humans? execute everyone who carries a transmissible disease? no? why not? you're obviously more concerned about the spread of disease than the effects of eradicating entire species, so what's the problem? well, if we can't kill people to stop diseases, then maybe we should target the diseases themselves instead of the carriers. we already know that we're capable of doing that; polio was more or less eradicated not by mass-killing everyone who carried it, but by developing a vaccine.

disease prevention starts with education. knowing how to avoid being infected is the first step. the next most important thing is humanitarian action and aid in places where transmissible diseases are common. access to medical care is vital, and we need to be working towards making care easily accessible worldwide. researching the diseases themselves is key, so that we can figure out the most effective ways to treat, cure, and protect against infections.

intentionally driving mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas to extinction is not the solution to the diseases they carry. they're not "evil" or "monsters" or "bastard villains" for carrying them. there is no active malice in the existence of these creatures or these diseases. nature is morally neutral.
