This is Snopes-confirmed. Also be aware this is very common in sugar free food of many kinds. The retriever puppy who I know of who died of xylitol poisoning got hold of a pack of sugar-free gum.
Always good to remind folks - if it has xylitol, KEEP IT AWAY FROM DOGS! It induces profound hypoglycemia and liver failure and is life-threatening :(
Xylitol is also the typical ingredient in sugar free candies and some baked goods. Other names, if you’re checking labels:
What other names is Xylitol known by? Birch Sugar, E967, Meso-Xylitol, Méso-Xylitol, Sucre de Bouleau, Xilitol, Xylit, Xylite, Xylo-pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol.
I’ve seen a few posts float around with links to help the Ukrainian military forces and since I haven’t seen any more yet, I’d like to share this tweet, with links to donate to organizations that are not military-related:
Proliska by bank transfer (humanitarian aid, relocation to affected people, food, clothing, health supplies, psychological help and more)
[TWEET ID: a tweet by user CarnationGreen, posted on the 23rd of February 2022. In Ukrainian, it reads: “ВАЖЛИВО! я хочу допомогти постраждалим від військових дій українцям, але не хочу надсилати кошти армії. що робити? список організацій які займаються гуманітарною підтримкою !!” followed by links to the organizations Proliska, Ukranian Red Cross, Donbas SOS, and Ukrainian Humanitarian Fund, as linked above in the tumblr post. Translated with the help of an automatic translator, it means: “IMPORTANT! I want to help Ukrainians suffering from military action, but I do not want to donate money to the army. What to do? The list of organizations engaged in humanitarian support!”. END OF TWEET ID.]
You can also donate directly to Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, for logistical or medical support. More info here: https://mil.gov.ua/en/donate.html
Please do not ignore individual calls for aid and crowdfunding too! Whether they come in form of patreon links, emergency commissions, etc. I’d say setting up a patreon account to support creators and people in need would be the surest way to help, since things like PayPal, Ko-Fi, CashApp etc do not work in Ukraine (although some people still use them through friends or relatives in different countries). Not all circumstances are dire enough to need organizational help, but even 10$ can really help an individual person who had to evacuate from their town, relocate from a damaged building, etc.
Last but not least: CHECK YOUR INFO SOURCES!! Russia has been on disinformation pipeline since last week, and sowing panic in Ukraine and around the world is one of the worst things to do right now. Like, for real, stop with the WW3 bullshit. The conflict as it is, while obviously hard for Ukraine, is fairly localized and with your help it can very much stay that way.
@k-s-morgan is a friend from Ukraine, who lives in Kiev. She is also a fanfic author, you may know her as Severus_divides_into_H on ao3.
Her country was attacked today. Missiles flew past her house. It is an horrible upheaval in her life, that we cannot even fathom for most of us.
She is stressed and afraid. She does not know what is going to happen to her, to her family, to her country. She is supporting her family financially but she does not even know if she will get her salary. Money is already running out.
If you can help her financially, please do so on her patreon
If you cannot, at least please share this post or the link to her patreon. She needs all the help she can get.
Denise Pipitone disappeared from Mazara del Vallo, ITALY on Sept 1, 2004 when she was 4 years old. Now she is 21 years old and could be anywhere! If you know/have seen a girl who looks like her and she doesn’t remember her first 4 years of life or has any doubt about her origins, PLEASE send a message to the contacts that are written on this post or contact your nearest police station 🙏🏻
You can check more info about her story on this site 👇🏻👇🏻
A palestinian worker was injured after an Is*aeli bus hit him.
2 Palestinian children were detained by the IOF (ages 16 and 17)
Is*aeli settlers set fire to Palestinian villagers’ crops.
The IOF demolished many Palestinian commercial facilities in North East Jerusalem.
15 palestinians lost their homes due to the demolishing and confiscation of their tents and homes.
Multiple Palestinian children were detained in a checkpoint on their way to school.
(video of journalist Zaina Al Halawani after being released)
Reblog. Speak. We need to keep spreading awareness. Stop normalizing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Stop normalizing the genocide that Is*ael is committing. Stop normalizing detaining innocent Palestinians, assaulting, and even r*ping them. It’s not normal. It was never normal. It will never be normal. Speak up!!!
