You're actually fine
Activated charcoal doses of 25 to 100 grams in adults and 10 to 50 grams in children can prevent the absorption of other drugs,” Dr. Mersek says. That’s generally the therapeutic dose given in cases of overdoses or poisonings.

Food coloring generally uses much less than that: For example, an entire batch of Halloween cookies or a pitcherful of inky black margaritas may only contain about a teaspoon or two. And one teaspoon contains just about two grams of activated charcoal, Charles Michael White, PharmD, department head of the UConn School of Pharmacy, tells SELF. (However, the exact amount will differ depending on the actual charcoal product, Dr. Mersek says.)

In most cases, these small amounts bring less cause for concern. A one-teaspoon dose “would only have a modest effect on the absorption of drugs from the intestine to the bloodstream,” Charles Michael White, PharmD, department head of the UConn School of Pharmacy, tells SELF.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

Ooof it’s not great to see two randoms on here making fun of a post. Sent me right back to secondary school and walking in on people sniggering about you. It’s funny what your brain gets a little sad about.

Well, I had ~16 hours of my dissertation to do, with 28 hours to go until the deadline, but unfortunately I spent the last 8 hours of allotted sleep hours unable to sleep due to an IBS flare up, so that’s really fucked me a wee bit…

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

Today looking up details to correctly cite a scholar I found she's also made some art. #DHMakes This is Interference Pattern II by Frances Rothwell Hughes. She started each square when she had time to embroider and stopped when interrupted by her newborn www.francesrothwellhughes.com/interference...
Detail of textile artwork, showing 6 by 4 squares. Each square shows the same pattern in different stages of completion, ranging from dashes, to diamonds, to a complex geometric pattern filling the entire square.Framed textile artwork consisting of 4 rows of 25 squares. Each square contains a different number of embroidered stiches in black thread.

What a difference a month makes.. Credit for jumping ship when you become the target of Reform UK's cut to disability support when you're in receipt of some of that support. Just a shame that the hate and division of Reform UK wasn't enough to leave in the first place

Ariana Grande is someone who I somehow have no conscious knowledge of her music. She’s this extremely influential (and as I understand it talented) women and I couldn’t name a single song. This isn’t a snarky comment - it’s just weird how some cultural moments can totally pass you by!

Jesus Christ. Whilst I’m not one to appeal to ~the law~ as moral arbiter, we literally recognise & seek to persecute* domestic abusers who have caused their victims to kill themselves. We understand that people can be & are responsible for others’ suicides. *in too few no.s & w/ lmtd success, but 🤫

New levels of modern communication reached. Boyfriend is away. I have a concerning spot on my bum that I can’t see. Whilst on a video call I moved the camera so the spot was in view; partner then screenshotted it and sent it back to me. Boom. They didn’t predict this is on Back to The Future.

Today in “how is the dissertation going” I have four datasets that should all have a 1:1 pairing but for some reason none of them match. As my brain is fried, even though I could write code to find the issues, I have instead printed out each table & am manually checking them against each other.
