Art is by Anna from WotC server Welcome and come join Warriors of the Clans!

For the last six years, we have been serving as a medium-sized Discord role play server for ages 14 years and older! We aim for a fun, laid-back role playing experience for lovers of Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats and those who just want to role play as kitty-cats!

If you are new to Warrior Cats, no problem! Just let us know, so we can avoid spoiling you -- or spoil you to your heart's content!

WotC is an LGBT+-accepting/friendly, multinational server that loves making friends from all across the globe! Though we are English-speaking, nothing is better than learning about each other's countries and languages. We are semi-English literate and will always take the time to help non-English speakers.

No test or invite is necessary to join the server! Just a love for role playing and cats are necessary.

A friend from Discord is trying to escape his abusive home. For those who do not want to follow the link immediately, here is his mission statement for his GoFundMe.

"Hello, my name is Aran, and I'm a 29 year old Spanish trans man who has lived for the most part of his adult life in the UK. (Currently have right to work there via presettled status). I like dogs, horses, and medieval literature.

I currently live at home with my mum, my two cats, and my dog. And my situation is becoming increasingly dangerous. In January of 2023, my mother's boyfriend began staying with us for periods of time, during which he would harrass me, trying to make sexual advances towards me and sending me inappropriate texts. He would also harrass my cats.

This all came to a head when, on the 24th of April of 2023, he sexually assaulted me after telling me, days prior, that he wanted to have a relationship with me (all this while still dating my mum), and that it could be our "little secret".

I'm already a victim of childhood sexual abuse, and being assaulted again, in a place I considered safe, put me in a very bad mental state. I struggle with anorexia and c-PTSD, and I relapsed badly. I haven't gotten myself out of this relapse yet.

Talking with my therapist, she agreed what would be best for me is leave my home. I could move to another town in Spain, but unfortunately, I got my degree(s) in the United Kingdom, and due to Brexit, Spain no longer accepts them as valid (technically it does. Most workplaces I've applied to do not.)

As I mentioned, I studied and lived for most of my adult life in the United Kingdom, and that's where I feel most safe and believe I'll be able to heal from what has been done to me.

Unfortunately, moving to the United Kingdom is not cheap. I'm terribly fortunate that I have presettled status, which helps make things a little smoother, but there's still the fact I need money to.

Secure a plane ticket (150€ after taxes)

Secure transport for my dog and cats (300€)

Secure a train ticket from London to York (80€)

A phone plan for 4 months (80£)

Rent for 4 months (4000£)

Daily living expenses for 4 months (3600£)

An extra for emergencies (500£)

The money will be first sent to my spanish bank account, then once I'm in the United Kingdom I'll open a british bank account and transfer the money from the gofundme there. If by the time I've found a job I still have money left, I will donate it to others who might need it."

confidential to our Tumblr followers, we love you the most.

Reeeeeee, why AREN’T you wearing gloves? Digitization does not obviate physical preservation.

upennmanuscripts

Gloves are not best practice for handling rare books! We follow the guidelines followed also by the Smithsonian Institution and the British Library among many others.

Basically there are very few instances where we might wear gloves, and it would probably be to protect us (in the case of, for example, bindings made with arsenic) and not to protect books.

Photographs and museum artifacts have different rules around gloves! But we only handle books on our channel.

YES THIS!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

There’s also this useful flow chart!

I had to wear gloves exactly one (1) time in library school and it was to handle magnetic tape reels.

marzipanandminutiae

it’s clean, dry hands for textiles, too, in my experience. for very similar reasons- gloves can impede fine motor control, which could result in accidental damage. also, touch goes a long way towards identifying blended fabrics or those that might otherwise be uncertain by appearance alone

as someone who seldom works with documents and more often with other collections objects, I’ve really only had to wear gloves when handling metal or leather. and my orgs tend to use nitrile gloves more than cotton, anyway

(interestingly, I’ve been told in the past that photos of me holding certain objects aren’t suitable for our Instagram because I’m not wearing gloves. even when it’s an object for which bare hands are Best Practice, just because the public expects gloves and will freak out. Reality Is Unrealistic.)

I misread the flowchart

sufficientlylargen

I like the way the flowchart suggests that it’s ok to handle rare books with gloves on if you’re also currently performing a medical procedure.

“Scalpel.” I say. The surgical tech hands me the scalpel, and I make three tiny, precise incisions in the patient’s left kidney.

“Tome.” I say, and the tech holds up the ancient book, bound in unidentifiable leather. I carefully turn the pages with one viscera-stained glove until I reach the spell I’m looking for, and I begin my dark work.

what is your problem !!!

PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

FYI

Also, though it’s hard when you don’t feel well, to jot down when you take a dose and how much.
