Passiflora, known also as the passion flowers or passion vines, is a genus of about 550 species of flowering plants, the type genus of the family Passifloraceae. Passiflora incarnata (maypop) leaves and roots have a long history of use as a traditional medicine by Native Americans in North America and were adapted by European colonists. The fresh or dried leaves of maypop are used to make a tea that is used as a sedative.

I haven't investigated it much because I don't want to discover it's a total placebo - so please don't enlighten me with science, ok?

919 deaths in Italy yesterday, ****ing brutal.

The US stimulus bill passed the house.

Can't find a link but I saw a report yesterday that Chinese citizens and whistleblowers confirmed what everyone is thinking by saying that the situation is much worse than what the government is claiming.

Absolutely disgusted by Trump right now. F*cking slimeball is arguing with Cuomo who is asking for helping so people stop dying and f*ckface is going "why don't you ask nicer? you don't need all those ventilators."

Disgusted. This is 10x worse than Katrina.
