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.

It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.

and i do think that mercymorn rly is tazmuir's character work at its finest... literally the perfect woman who is an absolute raw nerve and is both unwilling to and incapable of making herself likable. she also is recklessly suicidal and has subsisted solely on spite and the idea that one day she might be able to get revenge for something that happened a hundred lifetimes ago. her father is her husband is her god and she is forever condemned to be the bitch wife AND she is in a diabolical situationship with her brother who used to be a regular coworker. cold and virginal but fucks. unfathomably old but looks no older than ianthe. forced to eat a nun. forced to play big sister to another nun. i love you alive girlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

i kind of hate that whenever something impacts sex work/pornography/etc people go “theyre gonna use this as a stepping stone to censor things that REALLY matter!” like sex workers arent fucking people that need money to live
