Boosting again for people getting COVID vaccines (thank you for getting vaccinated!!) because my mentions are full of people finding it helpful. There is way more detail (and citations!) in the thread both up and down but this is the key info!
The dosage and timing for pre-vaccination is EITHER:

- 50mg diphenhydramine (Benadryl) OR 50mg promethazine (Phenergan) 15 minutes before the shot OR
- 20mg cetirizine OR 20mg loratidine 2-3 hours before the shot

Only take one of those (ie, don't take Benadryl AND cetirizine).

this is everything I despise about golf culture in one deeply repugnant act
`
60+ Cherry Trees were cut down in DC to make way for a golf course for Trump. This act violated a court order. They did it anyway because the law doesn’t apply to this administration. These trees were gifted to the American people by Japan in 1912. More destruction by a criminal government.

I just think one thing that would improve everyone's parenting is to ask themselves "is the thing I'm doing the plot of like 30 very scary movies" and then not do that thing, if it is

the thing about avatars of destruction, once unleashed, is that they tend to not be moved by pleas of "oh no, wait, stop we like it now" from the people who unleashed them

Doing Tour de Fleece Femmes, which will end on Sunday; I have now spun through my third pound of Targhee. My spinning has improved a *lot.* Very pleased.

People keep citing Facebook as the quintessential example of how "real" name policies don't do shit, but for my money, Nextdoor is a million times better as an illustrative example!

I spun every day during #tourdefleece! 3lb, 2.4oz total, mostly targhee, some merino, just a few ounces of American rambouillet. It'll be plied in September.

Malabrigo is a *pain* to spin, y'all. But what colors!

I've spun two pounds of Targhee in thirteen days.

My goal has been to learn a more regular, not-hair-fine single: I went from the bright stuff to the dark. I've improved!

I've run out of everything I dyed for #TourdeFleece, , so either I dye more or stop here.
(More is soaking, to become purple.)
