doing all the post COVID exposure stuff (saline sinus rinse, azelastine nasal spray) just to be careful bc we didn't mask today, and wondering why it's so seldom talked about to people who won't mask for whatever silly reason like "I don't like them on my face" or "they make me claustrophobic" or "no one can hear me talk" or whatever like... I've never heard anyone who refuses to mask say "and because I don't do that, I do all this other stuff to ensure I am lowering my chances of spreading respiratory disease." its always "I can't mask and I don't do anything else either" and no one ever goes "well, have you considered all of these other things you can do post exposure?" because those things aren't as effective as masks, I guess, but THEYRE WAY WAY BETTER THAN NOTHING if you do then right after you go somewhere unmasked (you can do the spray before, too, and it will help even more. even if you contract COVID the spray reduces viral load and symptoms.) it's weirdly absent from discussion of this kind of thing

I genuinely didn't know there was anything other than masks and vaccinations to help prevent covid transmission. OP says in the replies that its too exhausted tonight to get into it so I started looking on my own and the top ten results are all Isolate, mask, get tested, vaccinate.

Searching for "azelastine nasal spray covid" did get me this study though. I wonder if my pcp would prescribe me some for after I spend time around people unmasked, since I've got long covid already.

Check this out for a round up of some Covid research around antihistamines including nasal sprays.

Also they are still coming out with COVID booster shots. Those are still available.

my household has used iota carrageenan nasal spray both in tandem with masks to go to crowded stuff like concerts and as its own protection when visiting family. it's not a medicine, it makes your nasal passages more damp, longer, to trap stuff before it gets to infect you; also good for colds, flu and airborne allergens. only paper i could find Not behind nih.gov's broken-ass captcha: here

Hunh. Azelastine's just part of my daily allergy meds routine, but this might help explain why I managed to bounce back after the few times I've been hit with covid.

I’m SEVERELY disappointed this post didn’t include the eye witness statement of the mirror crash incident in question

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season starts… on the summer solstice this year, that’s fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.

Here it is, the poster for World Eel Day 2026! It's time again to celebrate eels of all sorts in any way you can!

Oh? "How do I part-eel-cipate?" you ask? Well, from the eel man himself:

"There are lots of ways to get involved with World Eel Day. Your eel inspired activities, photos, resources, art, outcomes, thoughts or messages can be shared online on all social media platforms with the hashtags #WorldEelDay2026 #WorldEelDay

For example, you could organise an eel event , draw or make an eel or write a story or a poem. Remember to tag or collaborate with @eelsuitcase on instagram"

Basically, get cr-eel-ative! (these are not my best work)

Sometimes there's an elaborate bit, and then you commit to it and put a lot of time into creating something with it, pick up a new hobby or two... anyway. Here's Gatsby Great The

Wow people really liked this, or were at least confused by it!

Here's a digital copy of it, along with a plaintext version, prepared-to-bind version, and the cover.

Free to use, go wild. Gatsby is in the public domain after all<3 Just don't claim as your own y'all know how this goes right

i forgot to put it in the original, but when I went to fedex to pick up the pages, the employee said,

"If only there was an efficient way to read The Great Gatsby"
