If you, or someone you know, has undergone surgery to remove lymph nodes, you really owe it to yourself to find someone trained in lymphatic drainage. It has reduced my pain to where most days, I don't have any. And my practitioner is at an approved physical therapy place, so insurance pays for a lot of it.

Please tell folks who may not know. You don't have to put up with painful, swollen areas that are backed up with lymph. And once they help you get that swelling down, there are things you can do at home by yourself that will help keep it down.

I'm yelling about this now because only one of the 4 doctors on my "team" thought about mentioning this to me. So I don't know how many other folks who have had surgery like I have, and are not getting referred (or even told that lymphatic drainage nurses/therapists exist).

Tell everyone. There is help. It can get (a lot) better.

Some (good) personal news - I am so happy to share that today is my first day at Climate Central (as a Climate Scientist).

Ready to move the science and communication of it forward in this crucial moment. Follow our work on climate services and attribution at climatecentral.org/.

I tried one last time, using a brush to sweep them off the tree. Then I put them into the prepared hive box and covered it up. There's a frame full of capped honey in there and I made the door tiny so they can't go out in a big group. (The last time I caught a swarm, I didn't downsize the entrance and they were gone the next day. Lesson learned.) I'll check on them tomorrow.

Well, it looks like one of my bee colonies has decided to swarm. I am not happy about this -- if they are mine. Either way, I'll wait until they're all in the bunch and try to get them into a swarm capture (repurposed nuc) box and then try to get them to settle into the empty hive box I have. It's so darn hot, though. I really hate wearing my bee suit in the heat.

So the new Harry Potter HBO show has cast its three kid leads. Don’t care. Not in the least. I won’t be watching and I urge you not to watch either.

I won’t do anything to support Rowling and her anti-trans bigotry and cruel crusade against the trans community. She can go right to hell. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

@kev @jim Haha! I also keep buttons right handed when using my left. I use a mostly ambidextrous Logitech MX Anywhere 3S. It has two right handed thumb side-buttons that I never, ever use.

@chris I had wondered about that. They must have US Customs Pago Pago. Effing tariffs. Aircraft are not part of the exclusion list. mfat.govt.nz/en/trade/mfat-mar

@chris by now they would have gone through customs and officially imported the aircraft. So they could go to Port Alberni. It's definitely in range. I won't crush your hopes and dreams lol

Coulson Aviation's C-130H completed a very long 8-hour 2600 mile leg from American Samoa to Kapolei, Hawaii. I presume its next leg will be to the west coast of the United States flightradar24.com/data/aircraf #CoulsonAviation #C130 #N4313L #Aviation #AvGeek #NewZealand #NZ

The Event Horizon Telescope's Next Feat? Multi-Color Pictures of Black Holes.
This method is still in its early stages, and this latest study is just a demonstration of the technique. But it proves the method can work. So future projects such as the next-generation EHT (ngEHT) and the Black Hole Explorer (BHEX) will be able to build on this method. And that means we will be able to see black holes live and in color.

Appendix A as it were. Linzerpoundcake is out of the solar oven, after about 2.5 hours which may actually have been a few minutes too long; I haven’t tried them yet. Fortunately it’s pretty forgiving timing. 2 hours would definitely have been too short, though.

I regret to inform all y’all that I will not be sharing πŸ˜‹ It’s for your own safety, honest! Who knows how this experiment may have turned out… 😜

Three small loaves of pound cake on a cooling rack, one right side up, the other two upside down. They smell quite good, although this is not visible in the picture 😝
