“This is Texas,
ain’t got no condom?”…
or whatever Bey said in that song.
more than a few of my favorite new yawkers have swapped bagels for barbecue,
permanently setting up camp in houston, texas.
they rave about the southern charm and no taxes but can’t stand two things:
The traffic
The heat
as you know,
i’ve always had a soft (and warm) spot for those texas wolves:

there’s something about that texas wood…but Foxhole,
grain that hits different
this morning made my foxhole close up and put a “do not enter” sign.
as fine as they are down there:
Are they handing out STDs like party favors?…
42k in a week?
was there some kind of wild dark rodeo i missed?
i know we are in our country eras and all but…
fear not tho because it seems this might be more fiction than fact.
according to khou:
The Houston Health Department launched an investigation after social media posts falsely claimed more than 46,000 Houstonians recently tested positive for sexually transmitted diseases.
It only took 24 hours for a screenshot with a list of STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV) and corresponding numbers to get millions of views on X. Text added on top of the image reads “this is how many people were diagnosed with an STD in Houston last week. Y’all be careful in these streets.”
However, none of the claims in the post are true.
In a statement to the KHOU 11 Verify team, the Houston Health Department said “the post includes grossly overstated numbers and incorrect information.”
According to the officials, the data does not represent diagnoses — it represents the number of tests done for certain STDs across the entire state of Texas last week. There’s no indication if the tests were positive or negative.
The Houston Health Department said a “violation of its policies” resulted in the screenshot of an internal “data system” being shared. The department said additional security measures were implemented to prevent future incidents, however, it would not confirm if an employee has been identified as the one who published the data.
“The department sincerely regrets any distress this may have caused and is committed to ensuring the privacy and security of its clients’ information,” the health department statement reads.
someone is getting fired...
even though this might not be true,
we still have to be careful.
with onlyfans showing great (or mid) sex without condoms,
and everyone wanting to feel every intimate detail inside you raw,
safe sex is becoming a retro concept.
we might all need to remember HIV isn’t the only thing you can catch.
May your holes and dicks stay safe and clean for this summer of bareback riding!
lowkey: if that was true,
over 2 million people live in houston atm.
you do the math only because i hate it.

Well Damn!!!!
This is so funny, my job tried to offer relocation from California to Texas and I had to decline, I’m not giving up California for Texas. I had to do my own research as well as talk to family members who did move to Texas and there were many problems. As you mentioned most say the heat is unbearable people describe it as being cooked alive, then you have the bugs that are eating you alive. The taxes seem low because I believe they don’t have sales tax but they compensate for that with extremely high property taxes. It’s hard to insure your property because of the extreme heat but also the tornados and hurricanes, part of tornado alley is in Texas. Then coming from California is hard because we’re used to good weather and a mix of indoor and outdoor living, but in Texas most of the land is flat and they don’t have any real public outdoor space like you find in other areas of the country. Then lastly, people complain about politics especially if you’re black, it’s far easier to go from a red state to a blue state than it is to go from a blue state to a red state.
To your second point, I don’t understand the current modern view on safe sex. I was born in the ’80s and raised in the ’90s, I feel our attitudes were radically different back then. We didn’t have these magical new medications that made you undetectable, there were entire wrap-it-up campaigns, now everyone is on Truvada or some other form of PrEp and now people are doing whatever.
