my phone hates me & that's why the typos asking myself "Well, how did I get here?” fan of birbs & pretty things, college football. not bad, just drawn that way i skeet a lot, follow at your own risk she/her, MHM for short 📍New Orleans, Lorth Carolina

if you're a fan of college football and/or the slow burn/one year podcasts, @joshuablevin.bsky.social has this riveting story about the history of trick plays in football that includes LSU & his lovely grandfather who saw one of the earliest & most iconic ones. www.replaybooth.show/p/replay-boo...

Replay Booth, Episode 2: A History of Football in One Trick Play

What exactly did my grandfather see at LSU’s Tiger Stadium in 1944?

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!

rahaeli@rahaeli.bsky.social · last yr.

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).

I work with Afghan immigrants in Virginia. Thousands were promised visa, vetted, and ready to come to America after our military pulled out and the Taliban retook the country. The Trump administration ended this last year. This includes the 1039 Afghans stuck at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

Great read on why The Bill is bad. and for the first time in a long time, it's not strictly a party-line thing — there are Dems voting yes and Rs voting no so this might be a rare chance for us to actually influence our Senators and Reps by telling them how we feel, especially with midterms coming

In my professional opinion, the Protect College Sports Act is bad, actually, and I hope it doesn't pass. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/the-protec...

Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.

A cow, standing in front of the dovecote in Bruton, Somerset, about a month ago. Lovely town. Beautiful architecture. Had a chat with a really nice lady from an old farming family after I took this. Sadly quite a few stuck-up down-from-London snotbags live there these days and houses cost a fortune as a result.

I was about 34-years-old when I realised that my classmate from Ohio who moved to Helsinki for two years when he was eleven probably wasn't actually a Wu-Tang Clan affiliate. He most likely lied about that. I handled the revelation well, only took four days off work to process it.

Ok so here's the long game. The "billionaires" want us all to be miserable and stay at home so we're lonely and use their products. How convenient. I saved a bumblebee from my hot tub today and got more satisfaction. I even yelled "No, don't go in there" before fishing it out. It flew away

It was me. Gift link: wapo.st/4hDCZRs I think about this a lot.

Opinion | Parents invest so much in youth sports. Then came Trump.

The emotional and financial investment parents make in young athletes is strong wedge-issue fodder.

I think it was @pbump.com who pointed this out, but an absurd amount of adults believe their kid has a chance at pro sports. When you put that incentive there, it really adds a whole layer to the trans sports panic.

9. The "hypermarket" retailing model, combining a supermarket and department store under one roof, was pioneered by what French retailer, which opened its 1st hypermarket outside Paris in 1963 and supermarket in 1960 at the crossroads of Ave. Parmelan and Ave. Theuriet in Annecy? LE COCHÓN WIGGLY

A photo of Donald Trump inspecting the scale model of the Trump arch with drones, snipers, and golden statues was unavailable due to reporters being banned from the briefing. So, here is Hitler and other top Nazis inspecting a scale model of a planned Triumphal Arch in Berlin, circa 1939.
