A painting of 2 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2025 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back. This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!

It's International Save the #Vaquita Day!

With fewer than 20 left, the vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day.

Hey everyone we need 2000 CAD so Malus can see the specialist. This week will be rough for his health and thank you for the shares it helps a lot.

So here are my suggestions if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to pronounce names in an official capacity.

1. Read them ahead of time.
2. Ask for help
3. Forvo.com is a great resource
4. Slow down, and use falling tones to give extra gravitas.
5. Apologize and own mistakes

Anyone looking for some quick art pieces? $25 can get you a 1000 x 1000 px digital drawing to do whatever your heart desires with it.
D&D token? Profile pic? Go for it! Guaranteed finished within a week (in case I get a TON) or like, 3 days if I get 1 or 2. Closes 09/30.

An update from us here at PBS 💙

A screenshot of a game's store page on Steam. A new menu has been added that allows viewing of various accessibility features a game has. This example, 'X4: Foundations', includes the option to save at any time, change the size of text, colourblind settings, adjustments to camera movement like headbob and auto-levelling, volume controls, stereo sound, and the ability to play without having to provide time-sensitive inputs.

Ohhhh, Steam now has a drop-down on store pages that provides a list of accessibility features in a game.

These can also be filtered and sorted-for when looking for games!

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.

It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies

This image depicts a line graph showing cardiovascular mortality rates in the United States from 1933 to 2023, alongside key advancements in medicine, surgery, and public health. The y-axis represents age-standardized death rates from cardiovascular disease, ranging from 0 to 600. The x-axis represents years from 1933 to 2023. The graph starts at around 600 deaths per 100,000 people in 1933 and trends downward sharply over the decades, indicating a significant decline in mortality rates. Key advancements are marked along the timeline, including the introduction of the first heart-lung machine in 1953, the first cardiac CT scan in 1977, and the first 3D-printed heart models in 2012. Footnote information states that data begins in 1933 when all U.S. states started reporting cardiovascular mortality rates, sourced from the National Center for Heart Statistics in 2020 and the CDC Wonder in 2025. The chart is published by Saloni Dattani at Our World in Data.

New article by me!

Cardiovascular disease mortality rates have declined by around three-quarters since 1950, but we rarely hear about it.

I explore some of the reasons behind the decline.

On this day – 12th of June 1898 On 12 June 1898, General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine independence from Spanish rule in Kawit, Cavite. This historic declaration ended over three centuries of foreign domination and was marked by the unfurling of the national flag and the first playing of the national anthem. However, the struggle for true independence continued with the onset of the Philippine-American War.
