And if you do get paid for your ideas/writing during the strike, that is considered scabbing and you will be barred from the WGA for life, as per this email from the Blacklist:
And, because a lot of people don’t understand this bit, this is about you selling your ideas or writing to US-based TV studios or movie studios who are part of the AMPTP. There is no strike against book publishers. Nor audiobooks, graphic novels, or poetry publishing. Or just writing.
I try not to bring these things up, but me and my family are in desperate need of support. Without going into detail, we’re going through a financial crisis and it’s looking like I may not have a place to live by the end of this month.
I’ve launched a patreon which is very barebones at the moment. Right now I’m going to offer WIPs and processes mainly. I plan to add more to it in the future. I didn’t have time to make it look pretty as I just wanted to post it quickly: https://patreon.com/user?u=46432473
I also have a Ko-fi which you can find here if you’d like to make a one-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/itswolven
I may not be able to continue creating art after this month. If such a situation comes to pass then I will restructure or scrap the patreon. But any support right now will increase the likelihood that I’ll be able to continue with art in the future. I hate having to ask for help like this. But both me and my family truly have no other options right now. Honestly, I am very scared for my future and holding out hope that we can find some sort of solution and a way out of this situation. I just want a safe place to live.
If you’ve read this, then thank you. And thank you for supporting my art. I am incredibly grateful for my audience.
Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.
That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).
A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.
Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).
Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.
The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.
After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.
You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”
Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.
So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.
