FDA (Food and Drug Administration)

WARNING!

METHANOL IN MANY HAND-SANITIZER BRANDS


[7-2-2020] FDA is warning consumers and health care providers that the agency has seen a sharp increase in hand sanitizer products that are labeled to contain ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) but that have tested positive for methanol contamination. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a substance that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested and can be life-threatening when ingested... .

Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol and are experiencing symptoms should seek immediate treatment for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning. Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death. Although all persons using these products on their hands are at risk for methanol poisoning, young children who accidently [sic] ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk.


For all applicable downloads and forms, or to search for your brand of hand-sanitizer, visit: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-updates-hand-sanitizers-consumers-should-not-use#products

SAY THEIR NAMES, SAY THEIR NAMES


YMCA Farm Project in Kingston has offered to host a "Say Their Names" Memorial, honoring black lives we have lost to police brutality and racial injustice. 


Joy Proctor, based out of Portland, Oregon has originally created and put together this memorial and made her template available to anyone who would like to bring it to their hometown. You can see examples of this coming together across the nation here --> www.instagram.com/saytheirnamesmemorial

SAY THEIR NAMES, SAY THEIR NAMES.









REPLENISH.
YO.
SPOOOOOOOONZ!




"The most unfathomable schools and sages have never attained to the gravity which dwells in the eyes of a baby of three months old. It is the gravity of astonishment at the universe, and astonishment at the universe is not mysticism, but a transcendent common sense. The fascination of children lies in this: that with each of them all things are remade, and the universe is put again upon its trial. As we walk the streets and see below us those delightful bulbous heads, three times too big for the body, which mark these human mushrooms, we ought always to remember that within every one of these heads there is a new universe, as new as it was on the seventh day of creation. In each of those orbs there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea."—G. K. Chesterton

"This Free Black Mental Health App Was Created Two Years Ago. It's Especially Relevant Right Now for Our Community." Jessica Moulite, Theroot.com. [3:46] Jasmin Pierre isn’t shy when it comes to discussing her mental health journey with others. “I’m really not afraid to put it all out there. Like, people know that I’ve been suicidal. People know that I’ve been in a mental institution,” said the 31-year-old mental health advocate and app creator. By being so open about her story, Pierre hopes to normalize these conversations among Black people in order to remove the stigma associated with mental health challenges. That’s one of the reasons why the New Orleans native created “The Safe Place,” a mental health app created with Black folks and cultural competency in mind. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the country’s continued racial trauma and unrest, Jasmin has witnessed an increase in downloads.

Then, I say that you’re full of shit.”' beetle bailey, Medium.com. We can’t fix evil from INSIDE that same evil.
