Gaza Fundraiser Requests, 5/23/2025

Below is a list of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who have reached out to me this past week. I compile these new lists and post them every Friday. I also share the donation posts for added visibility.

Fundraisers that are extremely low on donations (i.e. less than 10% funded) are marked in red. Those whose donations have slowed down are marked in orange.

🇺🇸nationwide cucumber recall due to salmonella outbreak🇺🇸

FDA & CDC insist: if you are in the US and do not know where your cucumbers come from, throw them out NOW!

FDA publish date may 20, 2025.

🇺🇸FDA investigation - CDC investigation🇺🇸

Bedner Growers, Inc. Recalls Cucumbers Because of Possible Health Risk

Bedner Growers, Inc. of Boynton Beach, Florida is voluntarily recalling cucumbers sold at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market between April 29, 2025,

Bedner Growers, Inc. of Boynton Beach, Florida is voluntarily recalling cucumbers sold at Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market between April 29, 2025, and May 14, 2025 because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

some emphasis mine.

the cucumbers are contaminated with salmonella, and were sold between april 29th and may 14 2025.

salmonella infection usually causes illness 6 hours to 6 days after exposure, and symptoms usually last 4 to 7 days.

but there is a catch.

The recalled cucumbers were sold directly to consumers at the three Bedner’s Farm Fresh Markets locations in Florida (Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach). Because the recalled cucumbers do not bear any stickers or other labeling, customers should discard and not consume any cucumbers that were purchased at these locations between April 29, 2025, and May 14, 2025. The recalled cucumbers also were sold to a wholesale distributor, which has been directed to further contact its customers with recall instructions.

emphasis mine.

the recalled cucumbers were sold directly to consumers, and also sold wholesale nationwide. they have no label. there is no way to identify if your cucumber is affected unless you know where it came from or you get contacted by where you bought it from. real fucking helpful!

illnesses have already been reported all over the country.

The cucumbers are being recalled because they have been linked by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to a Salmonella outbreak that has resulted in 26 illnesses in AL, CA, CO, FL, IL, KS, KY, MI, NC, NY, OH, PA, SC, TN, and VA.

currently, 26 illnesses and 9 hospitalizations have been linked to this outbreak. these numbers are expected to rise.

the true number of people who got sick is probably much higher than this, and it takes 3-4 weeks to link any given illness to an outbreak. the CDC estimates that only 1 in 30 cases of salmonella actually gets diagnosed. as in, there may be 30 times as many infections as currently reported.

in 2024, this same grower was involved in yet another cucumber salmonella outbreak that sickened over 500 people and hospitalized over 150.

the list of where people got sick is NOT a comprehensive list of where the contaminated cucumbers were sold. these cucumbers were sold nationwide. from the CDC:

People reported buying and eating cucumbers from a variety of locations including grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals and on cruise ships. FDA's traceback investigation identified Bedner Growers Inc. as the common grower of cucumbers in this outbreak.

emphasis mine. because there is no branding, there are no images to help figure out if you are affected.

but here is what the FDA and CDC recommend:

If you cannot tell if your cucumber was grown by Bedner Growers, throw it away.  When eating out over the next week, ask if cucumbers were from Bedner Growers or Fresh Start Produce Sales, Inc.

some emphasis mine.

finally, not everyone who got sick from the cucumbers said they actually ate cucumbers. there were likely cases of cross-contamination from food being prepared somewhere that came into contact with the contaminated cucumbers.

learn more from the CDC page on salmonella infection here. it is worth noting that infection from salmonella can sometimes cause medical issues for years.

when in doubt, throw it out!

[mamoru]

this recall is expanding, and will almost definitely continue to expand.

the recalled items are under the cut because the FDA has been updating, adding, removing, and changing a LOT of related pages. I will note when I update below this point.

this recall is now listed as a major recall, and has its own aggregate list of FDA recall announcements.

3 issues:

not all relevant recalls are posted there because not all recalls have an FDA announcement yet, like the harris teeter recall that only has an external link on the FDA outbreak page.

some recalls that were posted earlier have now been deleted. there was a recall of dozens of "yummi sushi" products sold in kroger and other unnamed stores in at least florida. I am not sure why the recall page was removed or if it will go back up after I post this, so there is a foodsafetynews link just in case.

some recalls, like the greek salad recall, get recall announcements posted a while before they get linked on the outbreak investigation pages or the aggregate page.

this expanded recall includes (last updated may 23, 2025 (SEVERAL TIMES TODAY ALONE)):

snowfruit, snowfox, weis market, and roundy's products (including salads, sushi items, vegetable trays, noodles, MANY more) sold at kroger, roundy's (pick n save, metro market), and weis markets in: indiana, kentucky, illinois, michigan, tennessee, mississippi, arkansas, alabama, wisconsin, new jersey, pennsylvania, west virginia, delaware, maryland, virginia, and new york.

greek salads sold at: ACME, balducci's food lovers market, kings food markets, safeway, shaw's and star market in connecticut, delaware, maine, maryland, massachusetts, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia and washington DC.

big y foods made-to-order subs, wraps and paninis sold in massachusetts and connecticut

marinated cucumber salads sold at: food lion (virginia, north carolina), harris teeter (williamsburg, VA), kroger (virginia, west virginia, ohio, kentucky), libbie market (richmond, VA), and ukrop’s market hall (richmond, VA).

walmart marketside cucumber slices sold in texas

pennrose and restaurant depot-branded whole cucumbers sent to distribution centers in new jersey, georgia, florida, illinois, and ohio (and then potentially sold to other states)

harris teeter cucumbers, large vegetable trays, and small vegetable trays (<- not an FDA recall link, yet?)

yummi sushi(?)

this recall WILL expand, so here are the links that you should be following if you want to keep up with it. as of when I am posting this, each of these links has information not found in the other links.

FDA outbreak investigation page (contains non-FDA recall links, but does not have a complete list of recall links)

FDA major recall page (aggregate of related FDA-posted recalls, does not include non-FDA links)

CDC outbreak investigation (covers different data about this outbreak)

FDA recalls, market withdrawals, & safety alerts (recall announcements with press releases)

due to delays when the FDA links or posts recall announcements, some items may have a recall posted around or after their best by date, or may have a recall posted long after they have already been removed from shelves.

@thebibliosphere hoo boy.

"this is DEFINITELY written by AI, I can tell because it uses the writing quirks that AI uses (because it was trained on real people who write with those quirks)"

c'mon dudes we have got to do better than this

[mikkeneko]

I am big AI naysayer but I think making it into the latest of a series of unprovable accusations that you can use to harass anyone who annoys you slightly for any reason is literally the worst way to push back against its encroachment into our spaces

[mikkeneko]

#the only AI quirk I believe is the use of the em dash (—)#just because it’s a pain to properly type out and real people really don’t use it that often

hey so. not meaning to pick on you for this, but:

there are various types of word processors or other text inputs which will automatically convert -- to —, meaning its difficulty in being typed out is irrelevant

there are a lot of people on tumblr, including in the notes of this thread, who have actively said that they use the emdash in their writing

the whole point of LLMs is that they train on real people's writing; they are not just randomly picking characters from the US-ASCII charset to include; AI would not generate text with emdashes if its training base did not also include writings by real people that used them

this is exactly the sort of thing I'm saying is a problem. people saying that they think they can tell that something is an "AI quirk" because "real people" don't use it, because their personal experience does not encompass its usage

The American people overwhelmingly oppose Trump’s plan. In fact, a recent poll found that only 14% of voters support cutting social services to fund an extension of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s why Republicans passed the bill early in the morning when no one was watching — because they know how wildly unpopular it is. This bill is NOT a done deal. It still needs to pass the Senate. It's important that we get in touch with our senators and tell them to vote NO on this bill. Keep calling. [phone]
