Didn't grow up in MD and I'm both white and bald, so I have zero experience with any of the hair places in the area, but my son has hair much closer to his (black)mom's and I'm trying to find a place that can both cut his hair and put it in cornrows, but all my searches turn up shops that do one or the other, only do cuts for women, or only do adults. If I have to I'll get them done separately, but I'd prefer to have it all in one go. Feel free to recommend any business that only do one or the other for kids as well, but make sure to include the limitation.

Edit: Saw the typo in the title as soon as I posted. Don't know how or if I can edit it.

I was really excited about these yeasts after discovering them, only to learn I got into the game too late. I was wondering if there's any way to get my hand on some of these strains still, so I can at least add them to my yeast bank for now, and hopefully make some beers (especially some banana bombs) with them later. I searched online and didn't see anyone that had already asked this, nor any yeast bank traders that had these strains. Not that I really have much of anything banked to trade with.

I'm a WM who moved to another area to be with my BF wife. Most of the holidays are spent with her family, I've been to black churches with her, and celebrated at events with her that are generally black spaces. Im frequently the only white person at these events, so I stick out already by being there. Her family has welcomed me in at this point so that doesn't feel like an intrusion as much anymore, but as it's Juneteenth and I once again accompanied her to an event where I felt like I was intruding in a black space, I figured I'd ask others who may be in a similar situation. If you're in a minority space with your spouse, do you feel like you're intruding by being there. On the other hand, do those of you who fit the billet for these events/spaces feel like those of us there with spouses or maybe even just friends are intruding. I don't feel like I tend to carry around white guilt, but this specific circumstance feels different and I'm not sure if it's just me.

I've got a mead i made a while back. It fermented dry(FG 0.996), but it was still pretty hazy, so I've been letting it sit in secondary to clear up to minimize bottle sediment. When I checked on it today, there was a bunch of bubbles coming up one side of the fermenter. The air lock is still intact, so I'm not sure what would be causing it. At first, I assumed it was an infection, but even if it's an infection, if there's no sugar left, what is being consumed to create the bubbles I'm seeing. I degassed it upon transfer to the current container, so I don't believe it's CO2 that is finally coming out of suspension, and it's been in this container for probably 6 weeks now.

I've never used Kveik yeast before. Today, I prepared to have my first go, and I made a starter. I've heard Kveik is active, but apparently, I really underestimated it. I created a 1.25L batch of wort in a 2L flask that could accommodate 2.5L if it needed to and added some Lallemand Voss to it. I've never seen yeast react so fast. In minutes, it was foaming over, and the wurt was bubbling as if out was a soda bottle that had just been opened. I stopped the stirrer, but it just kept foaming up and spilling over. I'd attach an image/gif of the activity if I could, but for whatever reason, this subreddit doesn't let me. Long story short, I probably won't make a starter for Kveik in the future. It doesn't seem to need the help.
