Muriel Fahrion, the creator of Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears, was under a work for hire contract when she created them and as a result has received no residuals over the last 40+ years. If you like either of those properties, consider purchasing something from her website. She has art and cute jewelry!

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.

I have been a sheep caretaker for like two days and already I'm like. Wow. I get it.

I get why these were some of the earliest mammals to ever be domesticated. They look up to humans with this sort of dumb but all at once innocent and pure and trusting expression. They're happy to see you. They follow you around. They like to be rubbed under their chins. Maybe its just some latent Scottish highland shepherd DNA I still have in me but I look at my sheep charges and suddenly I see why the love of God for humanity is so often described as a shepherd and his sheep. I'd fight a wolf for these guys. I'd go way the Hell out of my way for them. I'd carry their young for miles on my own back.

on my hands and knees begging people to stop treating transphobia as this strictly gendered thing where transfems only get the Predatory Monster version and transmascs only get the Brainwashed Victim version. Putting aside the erasure of experiences beyond the transfem-transmasc binary, it doesn't really apply even to those who fall within it.

Tranfems get treated like confused victims when convenient. Young trans girls are brainwashed by their liberal parents / forcefully feminised by the state because they touched a pink toy truck once. Straight trans women are gay men desperate to escape homophobia. Black transfems are victims of a jewish plot to destroy black masculinity.

Transmascs are treated as predators all the time. Transmasc youtubers are causing kids to mutilate themselves. Gay trans men are perverted women trying to convert real gay men into liking pussy. Straight trans men are lesbians committing rape by deception on pure, hetero women. Lesbian trans men are a danger to real lesbians. You really want this bearded man in the same bathroom as your little girl, just because he was assigned female at birth?

It's both. It's always been both. And the more we insist there's a pink transphobia for the girls and a blue transphobia for the boys, the more we let this shit go unchallenged, and the more it spreads, even within our own spaces. Stop ignoring it, for fucks sake.
