ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

it'd be really cool if everyone put their money where their mouths are and went and saw the new fully 2d animated looney tunes movie that's in theaters RIGHT NOW instead of continuing to scream about the snow white and lilo and stitch remakes

🇨🇦🇺🇸recall of nearly 2 million sharkninja multi-function pressure cookers: serious injuries and dozens of lawsuits🇺🇸🇨🇦

recall issued may 1, 2025

if you have one of these, stop using the pressure cooking functions IMMEDIATELY. contact sharkninja for a free replacement lid.

🇺🇸recall link for US🇺🇸 -- 🇨🇦recall link for canada🇨🇦

Name of Product: SharkNinja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers Hazard: The pressure-cooking lid can be opened during use, causing hot contents to escape, posing a risk of burn injuries to consumers. Remedy: Repair Units: About 1,846,400 (In addition, about 184,240 were sold in Canada)

the problem is with the lid during pressure cooking. the vast majority of units were sold in the US.

This recall involves all Ninja Foodi OP300 Series Multi-Function Pressure Cookers. The cookers have functions that include pressure cooking and air frying. They were sold in black and have a 6.5-quart capacity. “Ninja” is printed on the front of each unit and on the product label. Model numbers OP300, OP301, OP301A, OP302, OP302BRN, OP302HCN, OP302HAQ, OP302HW, OP302HB, OP305, OP305CO and OP350CO are included in this recall and are printed on a label on the side of the cooker. An additional code following the model number is not part of that model designation. For example, a unit labeled “OP301 I07” is a model OP301 unit. Any OP300 series replacement pressure cooker lids purchased as an additional part are also included in this recall.

emphasis mine, to make the model numbers easier to read. all of these models and any previously purchased replacement lids are being recalled.

Consumers should immediately stop using the product’s pressure-cooking function and contact SharkNinja for a free replacement lid. Consumers can continue to use the product’s air frying and other functions. ... SharkNinja has received 106 reports of burn injuries, including more than 50 reports of second- or third-degree burns to the face or body, with 26 lawsuits filed.

TWENTY SIX FUCKING LAWSUITS FILED. TWENTY SIX LAWSUITS BEFORE THEY RECALLED THIS. these types of injuries can kill someone!

sharkninja is shipping out a free replacement lid to everyone who owns one of these. get on that quick, because shipping two million replacement lids seems like it might take some time.

Sold at: Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Amazon and Target stores nationwide, and online at www.Ninjakitchen.com, www.walmart.com, www.costco.com, www.samsclub.com, www.amazon.com and www.target.com from January 2019 through March 2025 for about $200.

these were on sale for 6 years all over the country, online and in stores. I bet a lot of these were given as gifts.

if you know anyone who cooks a lot, or who might reasonably have one of these, reach out to them. with nearly 2 million units recalled, it will be a while before everyone with one of these can be reached.

the non-pressure cooking settings are apparently still safe (says the company that took 26 lawsuits to issue a recall), even before getting a replacement lid. check your relevant recall link for instructions on how to get a free replacement lid.

writes a situationship that's soooooooooooo stinky

With a single word from Netanyahu, the crossing was closed. With a single word, two million people were starved and buried! We are just numbers in the archives of this dark world. How long will this injustice continue? Our lives in Gaza are like those of prisoners. No food, no water, no electricity, no medical treatment. No basic necessities of life.

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$). for people in countries with weaker currencies, her paypal is also available and they accept any transfer amount. and i know you all afford to give away at least 1$ !

parents told me last night after seeing my maga sister at church that they are giving me til next sunday to leave. the waitlists for shelters here are very long. i live outside of the city anyways in a rural area & would have to walk for hours to get to one without an uber/lyft etc. unless one of my few acquaintances from high school who might still live in the city can take me in for the rest of the month i probably will be sleeping in a tent outside in the cold with packs of noisy coyotes about. i have a place to go in january, i just need money to eat while i’m here & get my stuff there so i don’t have to abandon my things for my parents to sell.

please help a disabled trans mexican native (apache + chichimeca) 19 y/o this holiday season? thank you everyone ❤️
