Deadly egg recall

The FDA has upgraded an egg recall issued last month to “Class I,” its highest risk level, as it warns the public that consuming the products could cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

The recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs was initially issued by Midwest Poultry Services in late July, which warned they might be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.

According to the company, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17. The recalled egg cartons have either the code P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian Dates between 157-184.

Recalled eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.  Recalled eggs were available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana; Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and other smaller retail and foodservice outlets in these states plus Mississippi and New Mexico.

Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico are the currently affected states.

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

I'm gonna be honest, I'm kind of worried for the flood of new AO3 users that are gonna come in in about 3-4 weeks (since there are already so many new invitation requests rn it's gonna take that long). I know the new Wattpad rules are gonna drive many people to AO3 and while it should be a good thing beause fuck censorship, I also know that there are gonna be many people that won't know how to behave in someone else's house.

I'm not too worried for myself because I think that most of the current supernatural fic community is on AO3 already, but I am worried for other authors and fandoms. People and stories are going to be put on blast for things that shouldn't matter to anybody else and in places where those stories where never meant to end up.

We have seen far too much harassment over fanfiction already and I'm worried it's only going to get worse.

So to all my fellow writers out there: stay strong and don't let yourself be put down by people that are trespassing in places they don't belong*

(*I mean specific fics/kinks/communities etc. not AO3 as a whole)

And if you're reading this and you're one of the people crossing over from Wattpad: Welcome! We're happy you want to join AO3 but please inform yourself of how it and the community works, it's not the same as Wattpad but there are plenty of resources out there that can help you figure everything out beforehand (like the TOS, Reddit communities, blog posts on here etc. etc.)

Here’s my roundup of resources for new Wattpad refugees. I figure it’s good to have something comprehensive to link to as the questions start flowing in.

[houndmother]

many of you just. genuinely don’t believe that people can grow and change.

[houndmother]

this is about the death penalty and its also about call out posts about people who have already apologized for things they did a long time ago and it’s also about using ‘toxic’ or ‘abuser’ as if its an immutable class of person, and its also about any other circumstance with permanent consequences or wherein you assume someone is still the same person they were.

[prokopetz]

The way some people react to the Monty Hall problem is a good illustration that correctly identifying that you're being tricked and correctly identifying how you're being tricked are two separate skills. Some folks immediately intuit that there's a statistical sleight of hand in play, but because they have no insight into how it works, they interpret any attempt to explain what's really going on as further trickery. It's like showing someone that the rabbit was inside a secret compartment in the hat the entire time and having them respond "haha, you won't fool me that easily!"
