it’s so attractive when someone is all about you and isn’t afraid to show it
“How salted these wounds, lemon wedge against empty baby tooth sockets, how they bleed like palming the innards of a pomegranate. See, it stains the same too. Nightly, I try scrubbing away the hurt, but action only angers them, swells them, bursts quick, painful black bruises on the surface. Is there a trick to sleeping well when your body is at war with itself? I’m growing tired of this sword in my hand plunging through the phantom-shield guarding this chest.”

anyways good night i’m gonna go indulge in my unrealistic romantic fantasies until i fall asleep
apparently food inspections stopped bc of the shutdown so things bout to be real fucked up for some of us
Most companies are probably going to continue their regular food safety procedures, but a few things you can do to reduce some personal risk:
Buy hard, solid veggies and fruits (apples, melons) or ones with rinds (bananas are probably fine). Scrub the peel/rind thoroughly with soap and water before consumption.
The more solid and dense the meat, the less likely it is for contamination to spread very far. Buy your meat in solid cuts, NOT GROUND. Especially not ground chicken rn, salmonella bad.
Cook things thoroughly. Follow guidelines for the internal temperatures meat is supposed to reach and stick to those guidelines. Use a meat thermometer. Make your steaks well done for a while.
I’d stay away from shellfish as a whole if I were you. The diseases you can get from it are some of the nastier ones. No sushi for a while, too. If you have fish, make sure it was frozen following anti-parasitic guidelines and cook thoroughly.
AVOID LEAFY GREENS. This is where we’ve been seeing the most outbreaks lately, so be very careful.
The pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, and the very young are the ones most at risk in an outbreak. If you are in one of these groups, be extremely cautious and avoid soft cheeses and prepackaged deli meats. Check on friends and family in these groups. Report symptoms of foodborne illness to a doctor so they can report to the state health depts that are still running.
Even with these in mind, remember that most outbreaks of foodborne illness are due to things like improper cooking and storage. Stay safe out there, folks 💙
Oh great, more good news.
I reblogged part of this earlier but this information is great.
Also, I’ve looked up a few more news articles, and it looks like only about half a percentage of regularly scheduled inspections have been cancelled so far.
So don’t worry y’all! Just shop smart and you’ll be fine
