Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.

Just heard about my colleague who published a book and then ended up owing back royalties bc Amazon purchased 1000 copies and returned 800 after the royalty check was already distributed. It's been over a year and he's only now at 0 instead of in the negative. Just another reason to destroy Amazon

i need a job that rewards me for having ocd and mild add lol. like i keep thinking about that one patient on the pitt in s2 where they had all that glass or debris in their leg and joy had to pick it out and i was like "i would do that. i would WANT to do that." I really enjoy repetitive, highly detailed tasks where the expectations and goals are simple and straightforward. my brain just calms down and i can think about whatever i want while being totally focused. And also people will leave me the fuck alone to do my work.

every day i clock in to work i just want to quit immediately. im just done with this job on so many levels. i feel like i'll feel better about everyone i work with if i could just fucking quit this job. i just don't want to do any of this anymore!!!!!!!

our healthcare system is so broken. all these referrals, authorizations, going around in circles between specialists and my pcp and the insurance and the medical groups just makes me want to scream and cry. i have to be on this new medication which requires weekly maintenance except nothing has happened bc the pcp referred me to a specialist who then said the pcp takes care of it. the hematologist im supposed to see very 6 months just called to cancel my appointment for tomorrow bc they no longer take my insurance, so now i need a new referral and still haven't even got this medication thing set up and i'm not taking the old medication bc it was $60 a bottle for a 1-month supply and now the research shows it can make the problem worse for my particular condition and i'm so fucking tired of it all. and my problem isn't, or at least shouldn't be, that complicated!!! or that hard!!!! everyone who's ever claimed this system is "freer" than universal, socialized healthcare should be shot and dragged and drawn and quartered and sent to a dungeon

are there memes about lindsey graham booking it to hell yet

the whole buffy needed to get a job thing after being brought back from the dead also just sends me every time. like what the fuck willow, why weren't you getting a job??? i mean you and tara were straight up living in her house and doing what??? What was your plan here? "oh we'll just revive buffy and have her take care of it." like what the fuck. You couldn't have helped out? a little? so she wasn't broke and put straight back on the struggle bus??? And giles? Arguable the Most Adult in the room and he's like "welp y'all are over 18. Fend for yourselves." Like damn, I'd be like "Buffy I am your dad now and I will financially support you." No, he got himself a sports car. Being a slayer was already a full-time job!!! Couldn't help with the bills? Well don't call me next time the hellmouth acts up again. jesus christ.

Bro Peacock included The Vampire Diaries in this "back to school" list

you mean the TV show where they notoriously were NEVER IN SCHOOL??? Did Elena take the SATs? Did she do homework??? Was there anything school-related that happened at all except 1 shot in a classroom like 1 time and then the homecoming/prom/otherdanceswemadeup????? How did they get into college in season 4 or 5???? THEY NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL. Then all the adults in the family DIED and what about bills? taxes? funeral costs? you have me believe that the girl who spent all her time either dressing up for fancy parties and hanging out with vampires got into college and was financially stable?? she had a kid brother, too. I mean for godsakes buffy went to school. all the major plots for like 4 seasons revolved around school. Because she was in school. She did homework on vampire patrol. Willow tutored her. And then, after her friends brought her back from the dead they infamously told her that she was broke and needed to get a job so she worked in that burger joint bc she never. finished. school. I swear to goddd

The Mitch McConnell situation rn

[once-upon-a-time-the-end]

today was a day of not knowing what the hell is going on. I had a dr's appointment but i accidentally triggered the theft alarm on my car and then it wouldnt start at all. had to borrow my sis's car to go. I was explaining to the doctor that I had no clue why the PCP was referring me to them and that I had no idea what was going on with this medication thing I was supposed to switching to. He was like "bro, you don't work in healthcare and the secret is that we also do not know what's going on." I was like "okay. strangely comforting." Came home. Tried to figure out my car situation. I got like twelve alerts on my phone about the theft alarm. I kept clicking "this was an accident." but my car was still locked down. I called the mystery number (who am I calling?) to get assistance. They couldn't unlock the car. Now they got a tow coming and apparently I'm within some kind of roadside assistance policy ((when? What? how? do I pay for this?) apparently so I guess it won't really cost me anything but my car is gonna be towed to the dealership after hours and somehow they will help me. I hope. I don't know.

why is it always a male character going mad avenging his dead wife and never a female character cradling her dying pure of heart husband in her arms then dragging the whole world down with her

First of all, this is a very clever use of this gif. Secondly, fuck you.
