Through no fault of our own, Mom and I have lost a major portion of our income… Megan Rowell needs your support for Please Support Mom and M
Hey so it turns out that a friend of mine is in trouble right now. They urgently need donations for electricity and rent, and will be evicted by Nov. 5 if they can’t pay the latter. Any donations would be greatly appreciated, if you can’t donate please share!
Edit: Just got an update. Turns out they need to pay for the electric bill by October 27th or their electricity is getting shut off. So please donate if you can, or share across any social media you have if you can’t!
Edit: New update!
“Hey everyone! We have an urgent $200 bill that is due tomorrow, and we need about $150 for rent for November 1st. If you can't donate, it would be great if you could share this GoFundMe on your other socials.”
Edit: Another update from them!
“Thank you all so much for recent donations! We were able to meet our rent obligation! Now we need $200 for groceries to last us a couple of weeks until an arrangement to help us with that kicks in.”
Edit: An update from my friend.
“Hey so a bit of an urgent update. We are almost out of food and will run out by the weekend. So if anyone could donate that would be greatly appreciated.”
Edit: An update from my friend.
“Urgent request for help with groceries, phone refill, and medication. All donations very appreciated! Please share. Thank you very much!”
Edit: From my friend.
“Urgent request for help so we can reach our goal! Please help if you can. We need to refill our phone in order to log back into GoFundMe. If possible, please send money through PayPal. [email protected] Thank you!”
Edit: From my friend. “Urgent appeal for help! We will run out of food by tomorrow! If you can send a gift card or help by PayPal, we would be very grateful! 😢” [email protected]
i dont think i can fit this into my fic anywhere but my hc is that donnies ninpo only seems so op because he can make huge things, but hes limited by how much stuff he can create in a certain amount of time (bc creation is the difficult part)
so like, huge artillery the size of a building? oversized missiles and canons? 👍 no prablem. but if he keeps making allen keys and spanners of various mm sizes all day he passes out in his dinner from exhaustion
The FDA announced it will limit access to Covid-19 vaccines going forward to people 65 and older and others at high risk of serious illness
hey! we thought this might be coming and here it is. and it sucks! mass vaccination is one of our best tools at preventing the spread of COVID. public comment is open until 11:59 PM EDT on the 23rd of May.
you can leave a comment here:
you can leave an anonymous comment, but usually non-anonymous ones do carry more weight.
Do you want your healthcare workers and first responders to be able to get covid vaccines so they don't give you covid when you see them and so they're not themselves sick and needing sick days to recover, leaving healthcare and public services facilities short staffed? I want a fully staffed hospital, fire station, police station, etc.
Do you want public servants like utility workers and agency staff and park rangers to be able to get vaccinated against covid so they're not sick instead of fixing our roads and bridges and sewers and power grid and giving us access to public resources like public benefits and public parks? I want those fully staffed too.
Do you want teachers and childcare workers to be able to get covid vaccines so they don't get such e and need sick days and so they don't get sick from all the kids they see? I want a fully staffed school and fully staffed daycare.
Do you want families with little kids who weren't old enough to get a covid vaccine to access boosters for the older kids and the parents to help keep the little kids safe? I don't want to give my baby cousin covid at his birthday party.
Do you have any immune compromised people in your extended family? Cancer patients? Dialysis patients? Organ transplant recipients? I don't want to kill them.
This is a big fucking problem. Tell the FDA that this will negatively affect you. Public comments, whether under your name or anonymously, must be considered by the FDA. Get your comments in by May 23 at 11:59pm Eastern.
And call your Congressional representatives at
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
🇺🇸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. 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 responsible for 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.
I just realized that the catcher’s explanation was entirely free of derision. I heard derision in his explanation because I was expecting him to be arrogant and clout-chasing, but after seeing his reason, I went back and read.
He answered the girl’s question with total respect, and his self-satisfaction had nothing to do with feeling superior to her, but in achieving his goal of making his little brother happy.
I even missed how the catcher was INSISTENT that a shiny Pokémon was essentially no different, no better or worse than any other Pokémon of the same species.
Because he was thinking of his brother, whom he doesn’t love any more or any less on account of his albinism.
I love being coeliac cause there's like avoid the obvious things like bread and pasta!, but also like, avoid paper straws, BAKING POWDER, soy sauce and imitation crab and some vinegars (so can't have sushi, but also many pickled items), salted peanuts, ice-cream, icing sugar, most chocolate (why does all the chocolate in Brasil have gluten in it wtf), vodka and any spirit made with grain, SALTED PEANUTS???, any pre-made spice mix, lip balm, fried foods fried in the same oil as anything with gluten, and anything that has so much as TOUCHED gluten, and when you're trying to explain to people that it's not a fucking health choice it's a disease equivalent to eating small portions of fucking rat poison, they think you're being dramatic and difficult. I'm so fucking hungry.
People are already calling the Sonic X DC crossover “rushed and too fanservicey”
Guys. That’s what crossovers are. Especially one as ambitious as this. Of COURSE it’s gonna be rushed, there’s only like five issues planned. Of COURSE it’s gonna be fanservicey, people aren’t reading it for a masterclass in storytelling, they’re reading it to see sonic and flash race.
It’s okay to like….just have fun with a comic. I promise you. It’s okay. Take my hand.
