European Union citizens should stockpile enough food and other essential supplies to sustain them for at least 72 hours in the event of a crisis, the EU Commission has said.

In new guidance released Wednesday, the commission stressed the need for Europe to shift its mindset, to foster a culture of “preparedness” and “resilience.”

CNN · EU urges citizens to stockpile 72 hours’ worth of supplies amid war riskBy Sophie Tanno

Just curious what people here are thinking.

Are you stockpiling food and household goods in anticipation of future political and supply chain problems?

If it's just food or just goods but not food, tell me in the comments. Or if you don't want to say it's you, just say you know someone who is.

Boosts appreciated!

A friend was remarking on her adventures donating blood today. It’d been a while since I’d read the latest discriminatory whitewashing from the FDA.

My favorite now is that to donate you must be off oral #PrEP for months and stop injected form for 2 years. So be #celibate and don’t protect yourselves. Sorry, this #faggot enjoys sex too much. Haters can screw off.

It’s World AIDS day.

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) has transformed the world. You can take a pill to prevent you from contracting HIV. It’s a total no-brainer: if you’re having sex outside of a monogamous relationship, you should take it if you can. (But bear in mind PrEP doesn’t protect you from other STIs so condoms are still a good idea.)

We could eradicate HIV transmission entirely if everyone who can protect themselves did so. In Ireland and the UK you can get it for free from the GUM clinic, there’s really no excuse not to!

Also, U=U, get tested, know your status and don’t be a dick. ✌🏻☺️

So, I had my second PrEP appointment this morning at my county's health department.

I'm still HIV negative, by the way. Yes, they tested me again. It is no joke, if you are HIV positive you **shouldn't** be on PrEP as it makes the treatment of HIV more difficult.

My visits to the health department cost me nothing. However, CVS just told me that my monthly supply of Descovy would cost over $600. (That's US dollars.) That's with insurance. Up to now, I thought it would be free.

:headache:

I don't have that type of money to throw around. I've contacted the health department to report this. We'll see what they say.

In the meantime, I'm very 😩 of the stupid healthcare system in the US.

:why:

#PrEP#HIV#STI

The Terence Higgins Trust explains who's eligible for an #mpox (#monkeypox) #vaccine in the UK:

tht.org.uk/sexual-health/stis/

"The vaccine programme is prioritising #gay and #bisexual men and other men who have sex with men, who meet one or more of the criteria (in the previous 12 months).

"#Trans and #NonBinary people and some #CisWomen are also eligible if they meet the criteria.

"The criteria also apply to people living with #HIV.

"The criteria are:

"You have multiple sexual partners. You are taking #PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), or having sex without condoms.

"You have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the last year.

"You have #GroupSex (including chemsex).

"You visit sex-on-premises venues such as saunas, sex clubs or dark rooms.

"You are doing #SexWork.

"You have already had contact with a person with a confirmed diagnosis of mpox (monkeypox) (ideally within four days but up sometimes up to 14).

"Or you are likely to meet any of these criteria in the near future."

(For anyone who doesn’t know, #PrEP reduces your chance of infection by HiV by up to 99%, you should talk to your doctor if you’re in a high risk group, which I’m pretty sure includes “people who follow Terra on social media”) cdc.gov/hiv/risk/prep/index.ht
