CAN WE STOP HAVING LISTERIA OUTBREAKS MY IMMUNOCOMPROMISED CONSTITUTION IS NOW TOO TERRIFIED TO EAT FOOD

The original post I saw seems no longer rebloggable, but here. Current as of October 18, 2024.

20mg capsules from lot number 220128. Check your meds.

Duloxetine 20mg Delayed Release, 500 count bottle, lot 220128, expiration December, 2024. Post from October 2024

All of my friends that work at wildlife rehab centers have had to untangle animals from this stuff, or had animals brought in that died in it. This is especially nasty for small owl species.

oh shit my bad, this is how we share news here

me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”

them: 

@flipflibberinflippinghell

Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.

Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??

Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.

Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.

“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.

https://blackgirlsunscreen.com/ is Black-owned!

Hey just a little psa type thing real quick, I see a lot of folks reblog my work with many of the slightly different but mostly redundant tags I add to it when I post like for example:

Thus spoke kishibe rohan drama, thus spoke kishibe rohan, kishibe rohan, rohan kishibe (etc...)

and that is fine if you's like to continue doing that for your own archiving purposes! I know sometimes I can't remember what my exact tag is so rather than taking chances I will put it in both. But it doesn't serve much of a purpose for visibility of reblogs, the only time it matters as far as people following tags and getting searching tags on tumblr is on the original post, after that if you reblog something from other people and add tags it's mostly for 1: blacklisting purposes so that your own follower's filters can catch it or 2: so you can search for it and have it organized and archived in your own blog 👍 (and 3: I guess little comments can go in tags too)

It's not something that bothers me I just figured I'd mention it in case yall were going through all that extra work with the intent of helping me (i appreciate the thought!) honestly just reblogging it at all helps :3 💖

warning for discord users

If you're on the app, immediately go to your dms and then "add friends". After the latest update they allow your contacts to find you and have that option turned on by default, so make sure it's unchecked!

This is very obviously not great for a multitude of reasons, but especially for people in vulnerable positions who do not want people in their contacts to see who they are on discord and/or know they have discord in the first place. I've also tried finding out if this is a thing on desktop but haven't been able to find any mention of it, so either it's not a "feature" (yet) or they've hidden it. Either way, stay safe, and turn off finding friends via contacts!

[ID: three screenshots from the discord app with circles around the buttons to press to get to this "feature". 1: the messages/DM button, 2: the "add friends button", 3: in the add friends page, the "allow contacts to add me" checkbox. /END ID]

It is an opt in. As logn as you don't press "find friends" you won't be found. Source

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

Also, when you finally turn your phone back on, make sure you are alone or can otherwise midigate the sound. Because it WILL go off the second you turn your phone back on.

Please be safe 💜

I dont know if this will go as badly as the UK test did, but the advice for at risk people DID NOT WORK for us, many people had their phones go off despite turning off the relevant settings and turning off their phones despite assurances that turning off your phone would be enough to prevent the alert.

I would highly suggest that you do not leave room for technical errors and that you store secret phones in a safe location where it cannot be heard, maybe with a friend or loved one that you can trust. Or perhaps go out with your phone to a public place.

~~OCTOBER 4TH APPROACHES~~

If you haven't figured out a safe place to go or to stash your phone before now, you have less than 2 days left.

In case people weren’t aware, there seems to have been a massive issue throughout Patreon. People have had their subscriptions cancelled and many had their payments flagged as fraud with their bank. 150$ of my patronage disappeared, that’s 150$ a month as a disabled artist that took months to build that I’m unsure I’ll ever get back..Gone. It won’t allow me to message anyone whose payments were declined.I also had around 10 people’s payments flagged as fraud, some have had to re-patron. If you’re supporting Patreon creators I advise you look to see if at least the people you remember supporting are still there / that your payments aren’t marked as fraud, especially if you’re supporting for physical rewards you’re expecting. 

here's the thing about "aggressive" spiders

if a spider is running right at you, it's not trying to pick a fight with an animal thousands of times its size. you're so big that it didn't recognize you as an animal at all. it thought you were part of the landscape and it's trying to either take shelter or get to higher ground. if you don't want it crawling on you just kinda stomp on the floor so it can realize you're not stable ground and fuck off

like imagine if you went to climb a tree or perhaps a mountain and then it stomped

Wait is this true? Aw poor little tiny guys ❤️

important psa

HEY DEVIANTART USERS PLEASE DON'T SCROLL PAST THIS THIS IS IMPORTANT

The fingerless compression gloves really vibe with my whole “cypherpunk hacker grrrl keyboard-warrior” aesthetic but actually my hands just hurt

Hi yes where do get

For artist reasons

Joanne sells them as “knitting gloves” for about $10

These shits are incredible

Somebody do one of those “many hands clasped” memes where the hands are labelled “writers,” “programmers,” “visual artists,” and “fiber artists” and the middle bit says “OH GOD OH GOD THE PAIN”

Outstanding

Dont forget ppl with chronic pain

i am a knitter and crocheter with chronic pain and i cannot recommend them enough.

LOVE my compression gloves so much.

hey quick PSA:

please do not post a ton of porn and get your account banned until the actual full rollout has taken place and the guidelines are updated, it will be very sad for you

Here's a reminder to kill this fucker with no hesitation if you see them!

For context: this is a spotted lanternfly, it is highly invasive in the US, and causes damage to crops and plants. If you see them please report the sighting here and kill on sight.

More info

loading a bunch of guns like the punisher reading this

It is recommended you apply BY NOVEMBER.

its recommended everyone fill out an application, but not everyone may have to do so according to the studentaid.gov website

This makes me sick because the government KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU OWE IN STUDENT LOANS. They have all the account information but they are doing it like taxes, where you need to fill out complicated paperwork to bank on you getting it wrong.
