BAPTISIA TINCTORIA vs LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND EPINEPHRINE

Holy shit what a brutally hard but fully rewarding experience. Walking out to this everyday and then looking around at all my neighbors and how drab and boring their lawns/landscaping are truly baffles me as to why something like this isn’t more popular. Seeded it with coreopsis tinctoria, R. Hirta,

This is our first year going mostly native, with \~85 different native species. We planted thousands of plugs, started from seed (thanks Prairie Moon!) and purchased from local plant sales, last fall and I would say that our work has paid off. Seeing this many Monarchs has been such a wonderful thin

For the purposes of this review of multiple products, I’ll be *categorizing items by routine placement* rather than when it was introduced. These items are very much YMMV but I thought it may be helpful for some who are newer to AB (seen with the large influx of newbie questions I’ve seen in the DH

Hwahae: It's a review/ranking app for Koreans for beauty-related things. I'm making some top 10-20s for each category for those of you guys who cannot read Korean or don't use the app. Thanks!

Every year, it's the same story. Most of my seeds don't grow, so I vow to never try to sow anything again. Then the next year, I buy more seeds. But this year, I live in a new place, with more light, space, and experience. Gazania – *Gazania rigens* – Gazania / Treasure Flower Orlik pojedynczy – *Aq

Hello hello dough doughs Art historian and fellow podcaster here, Amanda of Bugs Need Heroes! We actually talked about ink in our "lightfast" episode, all about some of the art supplies made by bugs, and INK is one of those things we can thank insects for! Have you ever seen a tree with a big lump o

I am so fucking tired of the discrimination that women face when it comes to medical treatment. From being gaslighted, denied therapy or misdiagnosed, this discrimination often costs women their lives. One particular horrible mistreatment of women is the performance of gynecological procedures witho

So I was telling an acquaintance about this and he thought it was pretty interesting, so I thought I would share it with you guys. About 6 years ago my friend and I were on our way to pick up another friend from work at around 10pm. He was the driver and I was the passenger. We approach the intersec

I need some advice/ guidance. I am a male in my mid 20s and I went to a dentist to have a filling done on my back molar. The dentist applied lidocaine and did an injection into my gums on the upper right side. That was the last thing I remember. The next thing I know I am being pushed out in a gurne

I’ve been wanting to write this out and share my story for a while. I finally did. Here’s the very true and very real story: It was February 15th. 2018. The day after Valentine’s Day (which fell on a Thursday.) I was a little depressed during that whole week. But that is beyond the point of this sto

Ten years ago I got a copper IUD inserted. I did it at Planned Parenthood because, at the time, I worked for a school that relied on that bullshit Hobby Lobby stuff to not cover any birth control. This is no way a knock against Planned Parenthood, which is out here doing vital work, but the experien

I was curious if anyone working on the hospital side of things would be willing to share any ideas or solutions for managing the lidocaine/epinephrine drug shortage? Currently playing with the idea of compounding the product from stock epinephrine and lidocaine with the intent of packaging and stor

Basically, it’s compounded as a cream or gel, 6%lidocaine : 0.02% epinephrine: 4% tetracaine The epinephrine is essential in this compound as it leaves a “halo” of “numbing” but also aids in the procedure. Apparently there’s a shortage and there seems to be no conclusive answer, what does the phar
