Hershel isn't the only human the Cakelings can encounter. Charoen here insists that they learn the ways of combat and survival, and to that end sets up an arena in Tartlet Town where they can spar!

Hey gang, I need your help again.

I was almost sent to the hospital at the beginning of this month and recovery has been really slow. I need help with paying rent, so any donations would be helpful.

If you're also frustrated with how only people lucky enough to get traction on a tiny microblogging platform can afford to eat and reestablish their lives, then PLEASE donate to The Sameer Project. This is a legitimate, grassroots organization providing vital aid in the form of food, tents, money, medicine, diapers and baby supplies directly to as many Palestinians as possible, regardless of internet clout. They can buy supplies in bulk and give them systematically to those most in need. Right now, they're this much funded:

Let's please raise the full amount? https://chuffed.org/project/help-us-deliver-vital-aid-to-gaza-families-in-need Apologies for tagging.

🇺🇸recall of 86 different ready-to-eat items including sandwiches, snack boxes, pasta, and meal boxes after being linked to multiyear, multistate listeria outbreak🇺🇸

sold in arizona, california, nevada, washington, and possibly distributed to other states. sold at stores and food service locations including hospitals, hotels, vending areas, breakroom areas, convenience stores, airports, and airlines. sold under at least 3 different labels. investigations are ongoing.

quick reminder: listeria can take weeks to months to cause illness.

FDA outbreak investigation page : CDC outbreak investigation page

FDA publish date may 11, 2025

before I (rune) talk about the recall itself, let me back up a bit. if all you want is the recall list, the link is right there, or scroll down.

illnesses were reported as far back as 2023. investigations began in 2024, but the source could not be tracked down. FDA and CDC investigations were reopened in april 2025 after routine FDA inspection of fresh & ready foods revealed equipment contaminated with listeria. this delay is one reason why reporting food poisoning is so fucking important, and how going to a doctor helps protect others. cases of illness were linked together, but there was not enough evidence to figure out what sickened patients until now. listeria can be especially tricky to track down, because it can sicken people weeks to months after they eat contaminated food.

alright. back to the recall.

Fresh & Ready Foods is voluntarily recalling some ready-to-eat sandwiches and snack items sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. This voluntary recall is being initiated due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.  The voluntarily recalled products were distributed between 04/18/2025 and 04/28/2025 in vending and breakroom areas within corporate offices, medical buildings and healthcare facilities located in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. This voluntary recall is specifically limited to the products with the “Use By” dates from 4/22/2025 to 05/19/2025 as detailed below.

some emphasis mine. "ready-to-eat" means foods that do not require cooking before eating, which is why they often cause food poisoning.

this company has been sickening people at least as far back as 2023, but only products within these use by dates are being recalled. the food was sold labeled not just as "fresh & ready" but also as "city point market fresh food to go" and "fresh take crave away".

important: the FDA investigation notes that products may have been distributed and sold in other states. those four states are only where these products were confirmed to have been sold so far.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, a Listeria monocytogenes infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

listeriosis, which is illness caused by listeria, can be fatal.

Call a healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating the recalled foods. Pregnant women: Fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. Your illness may be mild, but Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns. Other people may have: Headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever, muscle aches, and tiredness. ... Symptoms usually start within 2 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria but may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after.

(from the CDC investigation)

while no illnesses have been reported in the specific date range of food being recalled, 10 illnesses have currently been linked to this outbreak, and all 10 patients were hospitalized. the true number of people sickened by this outbreak is likely higher and potentially involves other states. the investigations are ongoing.

both the FDA and CDC recommend you throw out the recalled food and clean any surfaces the recalled food may have touched, including refrigerators. listeria can survive and grow in refrigerators.

the recall announcement includes how to get a refund.

examples of the packaging of the three recalled labels. images are cropped by me to better display on tumblr.

and now for the giant fucking list of recalled food, typos and all. for the sake of keeping this readable because tumblr does not let me add tables: size, item number, container type, and use by date are excluded. check the recall page for that information, more product images, and more complete information about this recall.

remember: contaminated food may have been distributed and sold in the US beyond just the 4 currently confirmed states, and the locations of currently confirmed patients on investigation pages are NOT comprehensive lists of where people are at risk. a lot of people just look at the maps in the investigation links and consider them comprehensive despite what the text actually says. do not do that.

bookmark the investigations if you want to keep up with updates. I will also try to add updates in reblogs.

FDA outbreak investigation page : CDC outbreak investigation page

reminder: I do not post about every recall or foodborne illness outbreak, even just those in the united states. there are WAY fucking more recalls than the very few that I wind up posting.

check out the beloved, ugly, and half-broken recalls.gov for more links about recalls in the US. recalls are issued nearly every single day.

stay safe and take care!

Hamas has released American POW Edan Alexander, but Israel, of course, has refused to commit to a ceasefire.

Alexander is safe—but in the meantime, Ghada’s family of 14 is still living under the bombs, the drones, the missiles. They are starving. THEY SURVIVE OFF OF OUR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT.

The situation is as dire as it has ever been. But there is hope. Please continue to support and share Ghada’s campaign to keep them alive.

If you care about Gaza, or Ghada, or hell, if you care about me—please donate, please share. Do everything you can.

hello, i have an unfortunate update on Mai's (@abuhamdasblog) situation. as you know she takes care of her ill mother all by herself and of her family too, among which her brother was also severely injured during the genocide

today she has told me that she got hepatitis because of the contaminated water. as you know there's barely any potable water available in Gaza and people are forced to depend on the little water they are able to have access too. now that she's sick taking care of her mom is even more hard. medicine is also very expensive. the situation gets more dire by the day. please have it in your heart to donate what you're able to or 5$ AT LEAST to her gofundme (1.129/40.000$). for people in countries with weaker currencies, her paypal is also available and they accept any transfer amount. and i know you all afford to give away at least 1$ !

The company budsies, which specializes in making custom stuffed animals and making duplicates of old or lost plushies, is currently offering to recreate the beloved stuffed animal of any kid who lost theirs in the LA wildfire, free of charge.

Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who've lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺

Are we human beings like you? Tell me, are we not hungry? Are we not afraid? They deceived us in some meetings. I want to save my children. They got sick. Adam is two years old. His whole life is war. I was sitting and crying over the condition of my children and the condition of people in general. Please, if You saw this, don't ignore it as if you didn't see anything. You ran out of leadership, and our equipment and food ran out. Please donate.
