Hi, everyone. I really hate to ask for help but my cat Zoe stopped eating and drinking a couple of days ago and started breathing very heavily. Turns out she has been diagnosed with pleural effusion. She needs emergency care and extensive testing to find out the cause (which could be CHF, cancer or FIP). Unfortunately, the cost of initial care amounts to R$3,500 (around US$700) and I've run out of funds caring for her sister with IBD in the past few months, so I could really use some help right now. Any little bit goes a long way. Please share and help us if you can.
The mandatory evacuation zone stretches from Ball Road to the north, Trask Avenue to the south, Valley View Street to the west and Dale Avenue to the east. That includes parts of Garden Grove, Cypress, Stanton, Anaheim, Buena Park and Westminster.
Officials said Friday there is no active gas leak or plume, but that the tank is "actively in crisis" and is unable to be "secured."
This article has some more comprehensive details.
Thank you OP for reporting on this
"The company in question is GKN Aerospace. The chemical is Methyl Methacrylate. There are 4 tanks. Tank 1 has a malfunctioning valve and so far has been unable to be neutralized. That valve has seized due to the chemical reaction inside the container. Firefighters have been trying to get the temperature down and stable with water cooling. Tank #2 is also contains Methyl Methacrylate but has had a neutralizer added. Tank #4 is structurally sound but the article says its contents are "unknown".
Methyl methacrylate is an industrial chemical used in plastics and manufacturing and is primarily a respiratory irritant, authorities said. Around 7,000 gallons are estimated to be left in the tank that's in crisis, Covey said.
Short-term exposure to the chemical can cause skin and eye irritation, as well as breathing problems, according to the EPA.
Orange County Health Officer Regina Chinsio-Kwong said in a video update Friday evening that an explosion could cause the chemical to be released as a vapor, which, if inhaled, could cause "severe respiratory issues." Other symptoms include a sore throat, runny nose, itchy and burning eyes, and potentially nausea and headache, she said."

Anyway I can't emphasise enough that I would rather fully Go Offline than upload my identity documents to a for-profit corporation with a long history of data leaks
Tumblr has had many death spirals but this one might actually do it. I will never use this platform again rather than upload my ID, and it’ll break my heart to leave, but we have to stop capitulating to this shit.
Like they tried to change Reblogs and people rightfully got up in arms, this is a LOT worse. In order to have access to any sort of thing dubbed mature, and We haveALL seen what they think is mature, Everything from a black and white photo of a black woman's arm, to posts about IUD recalls, to a nude painted by a 17th century artist, to anything involving the word Trans; you have to send your personal information to a third party site that WILL get hacked, and you will be doxxed. And they can say "Oh shit, well it wasn't us who sent your name address and gender identity to Moldovan teenagers, here's a couple extra minutes in the ball pit.
That's bad enough!!!!!!!! But the entire idea of needing permission from state authorities to access anything labeled mature by our friendly AI overlords is some fucking Boll shit. Die Gedenken Sind Frie baby. This is all a reaction to people getting uppity about their lowly lowly rights and is being propped up by the same bad actors tht have made life unlivable. Fuck that shit.
"Well it's only being rolled out in Brazil and UK" Yeah, to start. "Well they're being forced to do this by laws." YOu know it's always really funny when these tech giants (Or whatever you call owning tumblr dot com) get really antsy about laws considering they pick and choose which ones they abide by.
This is a breaking point and it's going to be very interesting to see how we proceed from here.

I have fourteen microwaveable heating pads up for sale on my shop! They're soft flannel, and stay warm for quite a while! I know it's warming up here in the northern hemisphere, but they're great for achy joints or cramps too.
So it looks like I'm still looking for a steady job, and still working at filling up my shop, and I hate to pass the link around again, but needs must. I appreciate all of you so much, your generosity is overwhelming and I don't know what I would do without all of you.
They love to live on your porch and deal with pests and be really chill and then sneak in when you least expect it. They’re trying so hard to be domesticated. Sorry bud, you’re so shiny and dark and beautiful but you’re an outside friend.

Outdoor cat owners have no concept of basic ecology and it shows. "You're saying my kitty is EVIL for following its instincts???????" obviously not, you idiot, its an animal. I don't blame it because it is designed to hunt and doesn't understand human morality. The cat's human owner, though, should stop pretending that millions of people letting their pets hunt native species for fun WON'T make their ecossystem collapse. If you stop hearing birdsong in your neighborhood its your fault 👍.
Also cats are domestic animals????? Its your pet. Its your responsability to take care of it and it certainly doesn't look like you are doing this if your pet spends 90% of the day on the streets. Outside cats are in great risk for being ran over, stolen, beaten, poisoned, mauled or eaten by wild animals. A mildly bored cat is way better than a dead one and besides? Just offer your pet enrichment. You don't need to risk its life to keep it happy. You can even let it outside with supervision!! Look how many options we have. Insisting the only way to keep your cat happy is allowing it to wreck the environment and possibly die is not only fucking irresponsible, but also lazy and shows that you don't really care for the wildlife around you.
Hey all! I have stickers that i've had for ages that i'm selling :)
Two different ones of my "Saturn" painting, & two others you can see here. (Because tumblr is being dumb.)
I'd have to send them in a regular envelope, so there's no tracking, but it would keep things cheap for you, & doable for me. Prices are under each picture (i can take payment through Cashapp); lmk if you have any questions or want any! :>
Pretty things under the read more❤️
These are a good thickness, but they scratch easily, so i don't recommend putting them on things like waterbottles. 4x2 inches. $1 or $2.
Sparkly & thicker, should hold up wherever you put them :) 4x2 inches. $4 (which is a typical price for stickers like this).
Want to see the spicy ones? Just go to the other (flagged) post :') Because heaven forbid we be adults, right?

🇯🇵🇵🇷🇺🇸recall of large 70% isopropyl alcohol prep pads due to microbial contamination capable of causing life-threatening infections🇺🇸🇵🇷🇯🇵
alcohol prep pads are also known as alcohol wipes. they are used to disinfect skin and medical equipment (among many other uses), most frequently in medical settings like hospitals, care homes, blood draw centers, anywhere some kind of medical thing goes on or into some kind of skin. these wipes are supposed to be sterile and safe to use directly on punctured skin. so you typically do not want to find life-threatening microbes in there.
pro tip: alcohol prep pads work great for disinfecting anything capable of taking isopropyl! such as (certain types of) phone cases, remote controls, doorknobs. think hand sanitizer but without the extra ingredients. just make sure the surface in question gets thoroughly wet and you know which objects and materials are damaged by isopropyl alcohol, like a ton of fountain pens.
the recalled alcohol wipes are large 70% webcol by cardinal health, which are contaminated with paenibacillus phoenicis. which can kill you. and unfortunately, as it turns out, is not killed by 70% isopropyl alcohol. recalled lots are at the bottom under the cut! really long list. over 300 lots are being recalled, cardinal health waited almost 3 weeks to publicly announce the recall despite reaching out to major customers on march 2nd, and it is fairly difficult to even find the recall on cardinal health's website. overall, this recall is not a good look for cardinal health and webcol, and they could be trying a hell of a lot harder not to harm people with their own contaminated products.
DUBLIN, Ohio, March 19, 2026 – Cardinal Health has issued a voluntary recall for select lots of Webcol™ Large Alcohol Prep Pads (70% isoprop
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / DUBLIN, Ohio, March 19, 2026 – Cardinal Health has issued a voluntary recall for select lots of Webcol™ Large Alcohol Prep Pads (70% isopropyl alcohol) to the consumer level. The product is being recalled due to microbial contamination identified as Paenibacillus phoenicis.
There is a reasonable probability that use of the contaminated pads may result in local and systemic infections in at-risk populations; patients with impaired immune response, including patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy or poorly controlled diabetes, may develop life-threatening infections such as bacteremia or central nervous system infections.
The Webcol™ Alcohol Prep Pad is used for external use only and utilized for cleansing.
some emphasis mine.
all the way from dublin...ohio!
these alcohol prep pads, also called alcohol wipes, are contaminated with dangerous bacteria. this bacterial contamination is especially capable of harming people with impaired immune systems, such as from medical conditions or previously having been infected with certain types of illnesses that damage the immune system, like covid-19. infections from this bacteria can kill people or disable them for life.
alcohol prep pads are individually wrapped and are supposed to be sterile and free from germs. they are used to get rid of germs in medical settings like hospitals, make medical procedures safer, and are supposed to be safe to use directly on people with life-threatening medical conditions.
alcohol prep pads can be used on punctured human skin, medical gear, baby toys, basically anything that can take isopropyl alcohol and needs to be cleaned. these wipes are supposed to help prevent microbial infections, they are often used directly on the punctured skin of sick people, and these are often used in place of hand sanitizer before touching eyes, nose, mouth, food, etc. microbial contamination is BAD.
alcohol prep pad pro tip: sniffing an alcohol prep pad / alcohol wipe / isopropyl alcohol in general can help relieve nausea! they are really handy to have around! ones that are actually sterile, at least...
The product was distributed in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Japan between September 2025 and February 2026.
the contaminated product was distributed for around half a year. DO. NOT. USE. IT. having these microbes around you is really fucking bad. you know how paenibacillus phoenicis survives 70% isopropyl alcohol? that means it, like many other germs, survives hand sanitizers and a bunch of other cleaning products.
you are better off washing your hands! make sure you wash your hands thoroughly, under running water with soap, and then dry them thoroughly. wet hands pick up more germs. according to the US CDC, around 30% of diarrhea cases and 20% of respiratory infections are preventable with correct hand washing.
even if germs cannot be killed, they can usually be washed down the drain.
Affected Webcol™ Alcohol Prep Pad lots include the following lot numbers: See Attached Table
Cardinal Health notified its customers by overnight mail on March 2, 2026, with instructions to:
1. REVIEW inventory for the affected product code.
2. SEGREGATE and quarantine all affected product upon review of inventory.
3. DISSEMINATE Cardinal Health’s notice to all departments, clinics and external campuses that handle the affected products.
4. NOTIFY any customers to whom they may have distributed or forwarded affected product about this voluntary recall.
5. RETURN the acknowledgment form via fax to 614-652-9648 or email directly to [email protected], confirming receipt of this product action.
Consumers with questions regarding this recall can contact Cardinal Health at [email protected] or call 800-292-9332 Monday-Friday between 8am and 5pm EST.
attached table is a PDF!
this 5 step action plan is actually six steps in the march 2nd vendor mail about this. those six steps were REVIEW, COMMUNICATE, SEGREGATE, DISSEMINATE, DISTRIBUTORS, and RETURN. why are there two different versions of this? was someone embarrassed because DISTRIBUTORS is not a verb? why were they embarrassed about COMMUNICATE? this is really minor but what in the corporate bullshit, cardinal health should really have clearer and more consistent communication for life-threatening recalls.
this recall actually began march 2nd 2026, a public company announcement was made march 19th, and a public FDA recall announcement only happened yesterday, march 20th. why did it take three weeks. was it the verb thing
also missing from this FDA-version recall announcement that was present in the march 2nd version:
Return of Product and Available Assistance:
CONTACT the appropriate Customer Service group to arrange return of the affected product. Representatives can also answer questions relating to credit, replacement, and suitable alternative products.
Monday – Friday between 8:00am - 5pm EST:
• Hospital – 800-964-5227
• Federal Government – 800-444-1166
• Distributor – 800-635-6021
• All Other Customers – 888-444-5440
For questions related to this notification and/or acknowledgement form that are not adequately addressed in this letter, please contact the market action team at:
[email protected] or call 800-292-9332
basically, refunds are available, but the process seems to be a pain in the ass! this whole recall seems to be a pain in the ass!
on the cardinal health website there is no major apparent acknowledgement of the recall on the front page, and the search gave me (rune) an error when I searched "recall". hey that fucking sucks! you should have a page that pops up when you search recall! but they do have a recall notice up, on the newsroom website and not the main website. this recall announcement is not easy or intuitive for a first time visitor or prospective customer to find on the manufacturer's main website, which is shitty!
important to note: alcohol prep pads are frequently purchased by individuals and not just major medical facilities. I (rune!) am holding a curad alcohol prep pad right now. they frequently get bought and resold in bulk from unofficial vendors, or just sold in normal stores. there is no way in hell everyone with these alcohol wipes knows about this recall, especially considering over three hundred fucking lots are being recalled here. but most medical facilities should have been contacted by now.
Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product.
and if you think you have an infection, consider whether or not you might want to be in the emergency room. because bacteria in the blood can kill you really bad.
Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax.
Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm
Regular Mail or Fax: Download form www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178
REPORT ADVERSE EVENTS!!! SAVE LIVES!!!
not listed in this recall announcement, for whatever reason, is the comment that no harm as a result of this contamination has been (directly?) reported yet.
Cardinal Health has not received any reports of harm or adverse events.
hooray! except this ultimately means very little because infections from medical facilities are so fucking common that very few would get investigated to the point of being able to identify an alcohol wipe as the source of an infection. if a patient asked "could the alcohol wipe be contaminated" they would probably get laughed at which is just pissing me (rune!!) off. getting mad. end of example
and possibly its lack of inclusion in the FDA recall announcement means adverse events have been reported since march 2nd. basically, chances are, yeah. someone was probably already harmed from this.
What is the issue?
The Webcol™ Large Alcohol Prep Pads have been deemed non-sterile following the discovery of a contaminant (Paenibacillus phoenicis) during a routine sterilization dose audit.
judging by the lots dating back to september 2025, it seems to be a ~6 month routine audit. might want to make it every three months...
What is the risk to health?
The contaminant has a low probability of detection and may pose a potential infection risk to vulnerable groups such as critically ill, immunocompromised, neonatal, and pediatric patients.
...because apparently this contaminant fucking sucks to find despite being deadly. or maybe they mean that it took this long for this contaminant to be detected using their own audits. maybe they should do better audits. nowhere in these recall communications is actually a promise to do better and enact any significant change. they had three weeks to come up with something better than:
What other actions is Cardinal Health taking?
Cardinal Health is currently notifying customers and will complete appropriate corrective actions to recover impacted products.
have you considered having less contamination too? more frequent audits? better testing? or even telling your customers how the alcohol prep pads got contaminated to begin with, and what is being done to prevent it from happening again? nah?? alright
and finally, the list of recalled lots! here we go. LONG LIST BELOW THE CUT!
Impacted lots: Webcol™ Large Alcohol Prep Pad (product code 5110)
