First humans ever to leave the solar system suddenly drop out of communications and the ship can't be found with any equipment. After one month of no contact their home countries start reluctantly holding funerals for the space heroes only for them all to turn up, healthy, well fed and extremely disoriented, in the middle of Tokyo, talking about alien abduction. Turns out that aliens found the poor humans straying out of their solar system, presumably lost, and took them to Alien Wildlife Rehabilitation before dumping them back in the middle of their native habitat.

Because I've seen you discuss nutrition & basic life skills: do you know of any trustworthy websites/resources that teach food safety? I learned all my cooking info from my mom, but she doesn't believe food poisoning is real, so tldr I've realized that some things that I learned/do are unsafe. (Eating disorder cw) I have tried to find online resources but searching for food safety has led me to some psychologically unsafe results, hence asking a person instead. (1/2)

(2/2) thank you if you can help, and no worries if you can't; either way, thank you for all of the advice that you have shared with all of us on here!

Okay so for good basic food safety you probably want to start with something simple, and the FDA has you covered!

This is the very, very basic introduction to major food safety concepts.

Here is some more in-depth information about food safety in the home kitchen.

Here is food safety information for young adults who might be doing most of their food shopping and cooking on their own for the first time.

Here is a more in-depth selection of food safety topics.

If you're interested in getting a better handle on this stuff, you might want to consider taking a food handler certification course online. In many US states you have to pass a food handler certification course in order to work in restaurants, so there are good, comprehensive online courses and assessments available at a fairly low cost ($15). ServSafe is one of the major companies that offers these courses.

Here's a basic video on food safety:

There are actually many kinds of food-borne illnesses that we call "food poisoning." It sounds like it's difficult to deal with someone who doesn't think it's real, but that's a more common attitude than you might think.

If you'd like to learn more about food poisoning, here's a video about how the FDA tracks outbreaks of food-borne illness:

And here's a video for doctors discussing how to handle and recognize food-borne illnesses:

Anyway I'm glad you like the blog, and you have correctly guessed that I am PRETTY SERIOUS about food safety, so I'm glad I could share some resources about it! I hope this helps!

girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka

https://openlibrary.org/

and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.

I figure in honor of the dearly departed Vine (RIP) I'd make some compilations (like the ones I did for Vine back in the day) of Tiktoks that fill that void in my soul.

Hopefully more to come and this is a Vol. 1 of sorts.
