tl;dr: 32 people in the US and 18 people in Canada have shown illness symptoms from Shiga toxin-producing E. coli on romaine lettuce, including at least one kidney failure. Source unknown - discard any romaine lettuce you have, clean out the refrigerator where it was stored, and do not purchase or eat any.
🏙📣❕Suspended Instance mstdn.foxfam.club (cw: us politics, nationalism)
This instance (especially this bot https://mstdn.foxfam.club/@d3vnull) was clearly purpose-built to put the views & beliefs of white nationalists and fascists onto our timelines.
We here at ✨Plush✨ City are opposed to white nationalism and fascism in all its forms. As such, we actively work to de-platform white nationalists, whenever possible. This is such an act; we encourage other #mastoadmin folks to join us in solidarity.
THE HIATUS IS NEARLY COMPLETE!

There's something hauntingly catchy about the way it plays out, the way it loops. I think it's a perfect groove for the closest the game has to a "stealth" section.
In an earlier thread, I wrote briefly about trans people in medieval Europe, and discussed some of the main issues when studying the medieval history of trans people.
Today, if you'll indulge me, I want to spend some time discussing a single person in detail. I want to talk about the way she's been written about, and about her and what she can teach us about life as a trans person 600 years ago.
This is the story of Eleanor Rykener.
