New Alternative to Epipen - Nasal Inhaler

Posted by ichimunki

In August 2024, the FDA approved the first nasal spray for treatment of anaphylaxsis. Recently, the FDA has cleared the spray for children over 33 lbs.

For people with severe allergies or parents of children with severe allergies, this may reduce barriers to administering lifesaving treatment especially for those with a fear of needles. The nasal spray is being sold by Neffy.

Old guitar sounds fabulous

Posted by dfm500

What a 180 year old Martin sounds like (SLYT)... The guitarist is Nicholas Hosford. The guitar was built in 1842.
(Part of this post is about envy in that I will never be able to play that well.)
Happy Friday, everyone!

The worst part of October is over

I wrote my accounting/financial reporting exam yesterday, I'm so glad that's done. I'm cautiously optimistic but I'll find out in 6-8 weeks.

That means now I have time for all the things I wanted to do, especially fannish things! ...I thought and immediately felt overwhelmed because there's so much. In addition to playing more Silksong (and after that, Hades 2) there's books I want to read and things I want to watch, and fic I want to read and posts and fanworks I want to comment on and things I want to post and people I want to chat with and fic I want to write, and that's not even mentioning all the chores I've been putting off and RL social things. At least it's a better kind of stress ^^

No Fandom: Junk Journal Pages: Cycles

Title: Cycles
Fandom:
None/original
Rating: G
Length: 3 junk journal pages
Summary: Hope in the cycles of democracy, justice, and progress.
Note: Quotes are adapted from a political coping conversation with ChatGPT. (I'm worried about getting hate for this, but I have to be honest. I would never claim something an AI wrote, least of all prose, as mine, but these lines were really meaningful for me in a time when I've been dealing with a ton of anxiety over current events.)
