this isn't settling. This is a *free upgrade*

why is this a question. it’s like he doesn’t even know his audience

[daja-the-hypnokitten]

i want to be inconvenienced by you. i want to wait for you, i want to hold your things while you do something else, i want to make adjustments to my plans to make space for you. someone at your side who takes up no space and has no needs of their own is not a person, but a shadow. i don't want a shadow, i want you. i want my life to be altered by your presence in it. please, inconvenience me.

🇺🇸recall of 850,000 ozark trail 64oz water bottles sold at walmart due to injuries including permanent vision loss🇺🇸

these water bottles can fucking blind you. that is. really not good.

the recalled stainless steel water bottles have been sold at walmart nationwide and online since 2017, for around $15 each. stop using these water bottles immediately and return them to walmart for a refund!

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Walmart-Recalls-Ozark-Trail-64-oz-Water-Bottles-Due-to-Serious-Impact-and-Laceration-Hazards

Name of Product: Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles Hazard: The lid can forcefully eject, posing serious impact and laceration hazards, when a consumer attempts to open the capped bottles after food, carbonated beverages or perishable beverages, such as juice or milk, are stored inside over time. Remedy: Refund Recall Date: July 10, 2025 Units: About 850,000

so the problem here is the lid. depending on what gets put inside the water bottle and for how long, pressure can build up inside the water bottle and turn the lid into a dangerous projectile whenever the water bottle does finally get opened.

Description: This recall involves Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles sold with model number 83-662 on the product packaging. The stainless-steel bottles are silver with a black one-piece screwcap lid. They measure 4.41 x 4.41 x 11.5 inches and there is an Ozark Trail logo embedded on the side of the bottle. The model number does not appear on the product. Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and contact Walmart for a full refund. Consumers can bring the bottle to their nearest Walmart store for a refund. Incidents/Injuries: Walmart has received three reports of consumers who were injured when struck in the face by a lid forcefully ejected from these bottles upon opening. Two consumers suffered permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye.

some emphasis mine. you can see the picture of the water bottle at the top of the post and a picture of the lid a little further down. stop using these water bottles immediately and bring them to the nearest walmart for a refund.

out of the three reported injuries to the face, two of them involved permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye. so my understanding here is, people started unscrewing the cap normally, and then the cap ejected the rest of the way with a lot of force due to the buildup of pressure and the way the lid was designed. anything in front of that is prone to getting damaged, including if that thing is someone's face.

as food and drinks go bad, gas can build up from bacterial growth. this can make packaged food look over-inflated. think twice about eating something in a swollen container!

after pressure has built up inside the water bottle, loosening the lid basically turns it into a rocket. since this water bottle is insulated stainless steel, it can be a lot more difficult to tell at a glance if there is a dangerous buildup of pressure compared to a swollen gallon of perished milk or a ballooning package of rotten meat. the recall says even carbonated beverages might be enough to cause this dangerous buildup.

and less immediately dangerous but still not great, there is also the possibility of the pressurized contents spewing out when opened. try not to spray spoiled soup everywhere.

Sold Exclusively At: Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com since 2017 for about $15.

these dangerous water bottles have been on the market for 8 years for around $15, in stores and online.

I (rune) would like to recommend, if you must open one of these, open it AWAY from your face. potentially outside. you probably have a better idea than me of what was in your water bottle and for how long, but remember: this water bottle has already fucked up multiple people's eyeballs. if you have any concerns there might be any kind of pressure buildup inside, know that it is way easier to be a little extra cautious about a water bottle than it is to regrow an eye or two.

I'd like to add one very important takeaway from this study for folk who have ME/CFS or other potential immune dysregulation:

SMPDL3B has 2 forms, one where it's in cell membranes and one where it's floating freely. Elevated rates of it floating freely compared to the in-membrane form seem to be correlated with immune dysregulation and other ME/CFS symptoms.

ESTRADIOL - ie, the main component of hormonal birth control - was used by the researchers to induce elevated floating freely SMPDL3B and reduce in-membrane SMPDL3B. This could be one reason that hormonal birth control makes some folk *really sick*.

hey this newly published research about ME/CFS seems neat. I am no expert on how many cool swag points any given medical study has but with my limited knowledge this seems pretty fucking neat

just a few highlights:

SMPDL3B might be a good biomarker for ME/CFS, and higher levels of it are associated with higher symptom severity and worse quality of life

as in, this might eventually result in a blood test for ME/CFS, a way to measure disease severity or progression, and maybe a way to monitor treatment effectiveness

estrogen is associated with higher levels of SMPDL3B and higher symptom severity

SMPDL3B levels seem highest between the ages of 18 and 30, followed by a progressive decline with age

vildagliptin and saxagliptin might lead to new treatment strategies with how they affect SMPDL3B

it is unclear if reducing SMPDL3B itself means reducing disease severity, or if it might negatively impact the body in some way

treatments targeting TLR4 like low dose naltrexone and lithium show promise as treatments for ME/CFS

low dose naltrexone stays winning

Heck, y'all, just consider:

Even in general popular discussion, the right wing are calling queer folk "groomers" and "pedophiles" and the like.

This is a standard playbook. Label something you disagree with as something so obviously bad that nobody will oppose it. They did it with SESTA/FOSTA, they did it with all of the fandom community things seen above, and in the 1950s the US government did it by calling anything pro-worker's rights communism during the Red Scare.

It's an old, old pattern. And it sucks, being in a position where you have to defend something you find horrible. But if it isn't causing anyone direct harm - and, importantly here, discomfort is not harm - then people should be allowed to do it.

The world does not owe you comfort. And often, pushing at your comfort zone is healthy.

Look, in all my years I found out that the solution to being all stressed about social engagement and shit is to remember People Don't Give A Shit.

Those who don't know you don't give a fuck about the little intricacies that are flooding your head. They ain't earned that good faith to mince out the circumstances. They've got their own shit going on. They don't give a shit (neutral).

And them lot who have bad faith ain't gonna take a pause for the nuance either, they brought baggage in and they ain't about to give you the benefit of the doubt for free. They don't give a shit (derogatory).

Then them peeps who actually love you and know what's going on behind them dazzling pearly whites will actually assume good faith and not give you a hard time over small shit like phrasing or how your body language is or that embarrassing thing you did. They don't give a shit (affectionate).

Any which way you slice it, it ain't worth dwelling. No one gives a shit. Just do you.

I love Tammy for being so understanding and supportive, and y'all should read her stuff!!

(yes. My screen name is a *direct* reference to Daja-the-Tammy-Character. Picked before I'd entirely processed being queer myself. Go figure.)

If people are sad about The Wizard Facism game coming from someone you used to look up to and admire, may I suggest an author whose books are filled with nuanced characters and strong, dynamic women?

Tamora Pierce has been writing since the 80’s and has two worlds of magic and fantasy and bonus!!! Isn’t a transphobic POS.
