(reply to the kroger & walmart chicken fettucine alfredo listeria outbreak)
hey holy shit. the sound I made when I read this. this is exactly why the chicken fettucine recall is so scary, it is such a huge comfort food and a bunch of folks eat it while pregnant. I am so fucking glad my post found you and that you got medical attention right away.
yours is an example of doing exactly the right thing: listeria is especially dangerous while pregnant, and there are antibiotics that can be prescribed for high-risk folks during the early stages of symptoms or even before symptoms begin. and while listeria can take up to 80 days to cause illness, it can also cause issues within hours or days of eating contaminated food.
for you and for everyone else trying to avoid the general news right now, here is a list to help keep up with recalls and foodborne illness outbreaks in the united states since I do not post all of them:
FDA recall list (food, drug, medical device, etc recalls with press announcements, usually bigger food recalls have announcements)
FDA enforcement reports (more recalls go here, but more difficult to navigate than the recall list with announcements)
USDA FSIS recall list (they cover different food than FDA, especially meat. the chicken fettucine alfredo recall was posted here)
NHTSA recall list (vehicles, car seats, tires, and equipment recalls!)
CPSC recall and safety warning list (products! there have been a LOT of recalls of baby stuff recently!)
FDA outbreak investigations (you can see the status of outbreaks as they happen and get investigated, this is often where recalls start)
CDC active investigations of foodborne illness outbreaks (outbreaks can have both an FDA page and a CDC page. they cover different information)
foodsafetynews (news about food safety ONLY! not a government source. mostly focused on the US and canada, but also news around the world. some of what they post involves commentary on the current administration, BUT they post about bigger and more relevant recalls that wind up in the ever-tricky FDA enforcement reports.)
best of luck to you and your baby, and make sure you get plenty of rest!!!!!

I’m really curious what are y’all’s fanfiction and fiction squicks?
I know the word has fallen from super-popular use but I think we need to revitalize it as a term (for a deep-seated distaste or turn-off from certain tropes, writing forms, character types, etc.) What makes you put down a book or close a tab so fast?
#excessive therapy speak and immediately understanding feelings is less a squick than a deep feeling of disappointment#because all the opportunity for emotional drama is squandered in a single use of the word boundaries#I get paranoid that I’m a hypocrite about that because I like to write stories where the characters talk to each other#and maybe understand each other more than they ought to in canon??#but also I couch that with lots of AU elements and/or the characters in question having been together for a Long Fuckin Time#umm squicks tho - pregnancy? actual pregnancy or breeding kink that discusses actual pregnancy#like for some reason oviposition/used as an incubator is a huge turn on for me but only when what’s going inside is a Thing#a creature a monster an object. not a potential child not something to care for#creampie/cumflation yes. saying ‘gonna out a baby in you’ immediate no ew blech#also kinda squicked by lactation kink

#I used to get Chinese from a place near my college and I regularly tipped 100% because they were SO cheap#and it was insane to me that a lunch special that would feed me for 3 meals cost 10 bucks#so I usually just gave a 20 and said keep the change#a quart of their wonton soup cost like $4! it had as many dumplings as come in the whole bag of frozen ones at the store!#I could top up the broth with a little boullion and have enough wontons for 3-4 bowls of soup#honestly I should have paid them more#I wish I had the kind of money where I could buy a $4 soup with a hundred dollar bill and just leave

#5 cents is tempting but it wouldn’t be reliable income because I have big chunks of time when I’m not writing#no writers block is also tempting but I’ve come to appreciate the times I’m not writing as good fertilization time#reading more and watching more and so on. to enrich the writing dirt#so I went with curing my chronic pain and illness because holy shit#if writing could make my back BETTER instead of worse#none of you bitches could stop me

#it’s gonna be either another poll#a suggested topic that’s only showing a thumbnail of jacked Garfield#or the Twitter thread about St. George and the dragon fucking#so I think I am screwed here

This may be the worst use of LLMs anyone has attempted, ever. Up there with recognizing mushrooms.
