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.

Iceberg lettuce sold at Taco Bell linked to cyclospora outbreak | CNN

Shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms and sold at some Taco Bell restaurants has been linked to a multistate outbreak of cyclosp

Non-paywalled article now on CNN.

Hey Canadian pals, this company does have produce sold in Canada, notably ready-to-eat salads at Sobey (safeway, thrifty foods, IGA, etc.) and Loblaw (superstore, shoppers, etc.) stores. So while no outbreaks here have been linked to the massive issue in the US (yet), it might be a good time for a bit of caution.

Realized today that my mom's surgery to fix her intersex variant was probably a case study considering the period of time in which it happened.

[prairiecryptid]

I don't know if I had the same surgery. All I remember is some of the imaging. Which I now know was either a cystourethrography or hysterosalpingography. Sometime between me being 3-5 years old.

It really sucks to realize that I was hated in part for this, too, by my own mother who has the same thing.

my 4 week old kitten Breezy from Real Life was confirmed intersex today by the vet and she has ambiguous genitalia! she's also kind of bald and tiny

Breezy from Real Life is intersex, and she has ambiguous genitalia! ... she's also kind of bald and tiny for whatever reason. Hope she recovers from being Bald and Tiny soon!

[interactyouth]

Your gender is yours! Being intersex does not make you less of a woman or less of a man. If you are nonbinary, being intersex as well doesn't change who you are! Intersex can seem like a scary term, especially as a new realization about yourself. But "intersex" isn't a bad word! It doesn't strip away a gender you have lived and connected to. It doesn't decide what gender you will identify with in the future. "Intersex" simply describes people whose bodies develop outside of the typical sex binary. Remember that your intersex status doesn't determine or dictate your gender. Your gender belongs to you!

Are Americans supposed to just suffer and die if the country collapses

You'll figure it out.

So far for the entirety of your country's existence you've made others in the rest of the world suffer and die for your wealth, and they've had to just figure it out too.

Maybe once you guys collapse into civil war and get too busy with your own shit to interfere in the rest of the world we can start building a world without the CIA slaughtering everybody who wants to build a society without capitalism.

If you ever read ANYTHING about the left in ANY country you know how destructive the USA has been. You have brought nothing but death and destruction, and while it sucks for the people living there currently, it can only be a positive thing for the world if America perishes.

[kropotkindersurprise]

And to be clear I've got nothing against individual Americans. I mean, I'll support the Communist and Anarchist and Antifascist factions in whatever future the US has, but you know... if you have any knowledge of history at all its clear that the USA as an empire has got to be destroyed.

[kropotkindersurprise]

And like people in the comments also mention: you're not just a passive observer. You are a living actor within the present right now. you can minimize your personal suffering, you can minimize other people's suffering! you can try to direct history in the direction you want it to go, together with others! Organize!

in my post abt tumblr's porn ads I said something like "I don't care much about the fact that I'm seeing porn rather than that we as users can't post it but advertisers can". and a few people have reblogged with tags like "I DO care about seeing porn/I don't want to see it and I shouldn't have to/I also don't care but would love not to flashbang people" all of which are true and fair. but friends, colleagues. I put that line in there to keep swerfs away from the post. it is all too easy for anything which is ostensibly complaining about porn to be dragged into that sphere and lauded as proof that the world is porn addicted and degenerate.

I am a porn creator who considers porn & sex a significant part of my artistic expression. when I say I'm not bothered by seeing porn on dash, I mean ideally I would be seeing much more of it from real people. but even if this wasn't the case, I consider the naked body a neutral object to look at - it doesn't disturb me and I am concerned at the amount of people who seem disturbed at seeing any amount of nudity on their screen.

so let me be more explicit. the problem with the porn ads is not the porn, it's the ads. it's the fact that advertisers can post things that users can't. it's the inability to filter out the content because it is an ad and is not beholden to the same TOS or labelling rules as users are. it's the fact that many of the ads are for AI services, showing AI generated skinny white women (further pushing the needle on the extreme fascistic, white supremacist body image issues people are developing) in lieu of paying real life sex workers.

it's cool and fine that you would prefer not to see explicit porn in your day-to-day life. but you need to know that repeatedly, compulsively reinforcing this desire when I'm trying to talk about a problem of capitalism and censorship of expression does in fact position you nearer to the censors than it does to me and other sex workers.

[chekhovs-raygun]

i can't see my mutual's boobs on tumblr. i also can't see a sex worker's boobs on tumblr. but if Age Of Elf War Gambling Scam wants to show me digital elf titty, i will see those titties seventy times in a row, and if i complain i will be told to buy a paid subscription to tumblr.

porn isn't the problem, consent is. advertisers telling us we can't show our tits OR avoid seeing theirs is an incredibly stupid situation to be in.

[isuggesteatingtherich]

i have a suggestion

[swiftlark]

hot take possibly? but i actually think it’s okay for things to be marketed for adults. it’s literally okay if things aren’t suitable for children. i feel like we are losing the plot

[zoestorm]

Correct. Furthermore: children bending or breaking the rules to get a peek at something that's not intended for them is a part of growing up.
