The recall includes rice and dumpling products at Trader Joe's and Krogers.
After an investigation, it was found that the carrots used in the products were the likely source of the glass fragments.
No, the source was insufficient food safety procedures.

Sticker of a chubby light green caterpillar with orange-brown face and feet and a closed-eyes happy expression. It's curled around behind a large dark green leaf with some bites taken out of it and little holes, one of which is shaped like a heart. "KEEP GROWING" appears in large yellow letters across the leaf. The edge of the sticker and holes in the leaf are iridescent, and the sticker rests on a green and black cloth patterned like palm leaves. Mark in the lower right reads "shop.mothmonar.ch"
Photo of three identical stickers of a celestial-themed cicada. The design features the insect seen from above with a ring of 17 red circles for suns incorporated over the spread wings. The body is a dark blue with pale wings. It has a few stars, a crescent moon, and some small rays incorporated into its upper back as well as constellation-like veins on its wings. The stickers' lineart is a soft reflective gold color. They are resting on a purple cloth surface with some gold accents. Mark at the bottom of the image reads "shop.mothmonar.ch"

Sad news for Missouri.
I got an email from the SFRA mailing list that TAMU's Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Database has now indexed 150,000 items, nice! sffrd.library.tamu.edu/site/
Congrats!
So, since we’re talking about Firefly and Killjoys I need all my #BookSky folk who loved either (but especially Killjoys) and especially the queerfolk, to check out @stephengrahamking.com's Maverick Heart Cycle of books because it’s like Firefly meets Killjoys but queerer.
Yes, queerer than that.
tuesday was one of the year's biggest election days. i made a thread that day about the 10 most interesting (local, non-federal) elections i was watching so they get more attention.
but that means i should do a thread to bring you their results!
so my follow-up 🧵:
every time i hear someone say "gritty" to mean "edgy, dark" i just replace "gritty" with
I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

The 2022 issues of Foundation are now available on our online archive. If you'd like to scan and submit any of the earlier issues we're currently missing, we'd be deeply grateful. fanac.org/fanzines/Fou...
As a reminder why this matters:
If the 2022 map is in effect, @cleaver.house.gov wins re-election. And the Trump-led redistricting efforts in MO pretty much failed.
If the 2025 map is in effect, Cleaver will be the underdog for re-election.
Vote on the map would occur in November 2026.
Been awhile since I wrote about MO redistricting
The group that's trying to place the new map up for a statewide vote did open records requests of state/local officials. And the group says they easily have enough signatures.
That, they say, should mean the new map shouldn't be in effect.
Y'all. Read this book. A beautiful, Borgesian jewel of a novella on identity, belonging, and the nature of self. In Das's typically top shelf prose.

Photo of a hand holding an original landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Homeland No. 2603" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 4"x4" (2026). A peaceful atmospheric landscape painting of a lush green meadow with a couple loosely painted trees on the right. There are undertones of orange in the blue-gray sky and in the grass. A paint palette with puddles of oil paint and a palette knife are visible in the background.
Can we just do spring now? No more snow - please and thank you! 😉
