Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday September 7, 2014 Jill Promote yourself. Netiquette reminders: Want to recommend someone else’s writing instead? Try the latest signal-boosting thread. we expect Content Notes as a courtesy to our readers for problematic content in linked posts and/or their comment threads (a habit of posting only triggering/disparaging links may annoy the Giraffe (you really don’t want to annoy the Giraffe)) extended discussion of self-promotion links on this thread is counter-productive for the intended signal-boosting – the idea is for the promoted sites to get more traffic. If it’s a side-discussion that would be off-topic/unwelcome/distressing on the other site, take it to #spillover after leaving a note on this thread redirecting others there.

If you’re diagnosed with chlamydia, remember that most states allow health care providers to practice expedited partner therapy, which enables them to write an extra prescription for a patient’s partner(s) — without ever having to examine them and make a formal diagnosis. This allows patients to bring extra antibiotics home to their partners, helping to ensure that every partner receives prompt treatment and the patient isn’t reinfected! (EPT can be practiced for sexually transmitted infections other than chlamydia — but chlamydia’s one of the easiest, as it can be cured with oral antibiotics, nothing that involves getting a shot.)
