Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

nursenotes:

1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, don’t place your thumb/fingers over either end

2. Flick the blue cap off

3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams. 

- Ring an ambulance even if everything seems to be fine!

Oh my god.
So as someone who has to carry an epipen EVERYWHERE I am so happy to see that there’s an info post about them.
Like in the extreme case that I can’t inject myself, somebody else would have to do it, but nobody knows how to do it! Thank you, this may just save my life some day.

very accurate

make sure you carry around more than one though, and also make sure they aren’t expired.

another important note is that (from my experience) it does not make the reaction stop. it only buys enough time for an ambulance to arrive, so calling one is super important!

also, about those new epinephrine injectors (auvi-Q i think), i’ve used them twice in the past two years, and they did not work either time. the only thing that stopped my reaction at all was an epi-pen. so fuck those

Additional tips: don’t store them in extreme temperatures.

Auvi-Q’s formula is not strong enough+doesn’t have a long/thick enough needle so it’s not good for anything but mild reactions.

symptoms of allergy attacks DONT ALWAYS HAVE EXTREMELY VISIBLE SIGNS. You must be vigilant. Symptoms include but are not limited to vomiting/gagging, shortness of breath, swelling of lips or eyes, nausea, itching, rash (either red patches, small bumps, or hives), lips turning blue, etc.

DONT WAIT. Anaphylactic shock can set in in seconds and kill in a minute. I’ve seen it happen. It’s scary but you must take charge of the victim is unable– and don’t be afraid to inject if you aren’t sure if it’s a reaction or not. IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. Epi pens won’t hurt you if there’s no reaction, so use it even if you’re not sure.

Be careful allergy buddies. Reblogging will save a life.

We are very close to completing this zine! The print tests look fantastic, and any hiccups will be fixed in time for the projected printing date.

I knew from the outset that this project would be a pricy venture. When I decided to offer the contributors a physical version of the zine, on top of the free digital edition, I realized I’d have to shoulder the production costs myself!

I’m prepared to cover the cost of printing the books and the bonus stickers, but I’m going to need help with the shipping. Right now, I’m facing ~$200 in shipping costs based on the addresses given to me.

If you’d like to help, please go to the «main page» and click the donate button! For donations of $10 or $15, you can get chibi or regular sketches respectively. Donate more, and you can get the equivalent as seen on «this sheet». Just make a note of it when donating!

I will remove the donate button after April. Any excess donation money will go towards compensating me for the printing costs. After the first run, there will be no more physical books.

Any help is super appreciated!

signal boost! Izu has worked so super hard on this it’s unbelievable

An animated comic based on the end scene from “Not What He Seems”

This is only the first page! See the rest    HERE   !!

So Gravity Falls has quickly become one of, if not my favorite, shows on television right now. Like most, the latest episode had a huge impact on me. I loved everything about it, the writing, the animation, the visuals, the voice acting, characterization, etc. There was so much love and thought and talent that had gone into every aspect that it really inspired me to make an homage to my favorite scene. So I hope you enjoy! And join me in pensive agony as we wait for the next episode this summer.
