photo of a sketchbook page with a study of a screenshot of viktor in the arcane void, done with pastel alcohol marker, metallic marker, and white gel pen. viktor looks serious, his eyebrows drawn together. because he’s in the void, his face is normal-colored, but his hair and body are pale silhouettes of streaky colors that call to mind nebulae. signed, @m00psy (pronounced “moopsy”). on the blank space of the page, three mineral samples have been used as paperweights. one is pyrite (fool’s gold), but i’m not totally sure of the other two. my best guess is that one is a chunk of amethyst with an iridescent coating sprayed on, and the other is a long chunk of potentially some kind of chalky quartz.

an attempt was made, with the markers i have.

pretty rocks because why not?

“do i dare to comb my hair? do i dare to eat a peach?” was what came to mind immediately

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

even fully boosted, you only get a pretty low amount of protection against long-term chronic illness.

acknowledging the realities of the current vaccines is not being an antivaxxer.

pretending that vaxxing and relaxing makes us impervious to covid/LC seems pretty antiscience to me, though. ✌🏻

pretending that our current vaccines make us invulnerable to covid is exactly why we are still in a mass-disabling pandemic.

especially when like… 25% of US adults are even bothering with boosters anymore. because we were lied to about “vaxxing and relaxing” being a safe strategy.

sorry, but you’re wrong. the current vaccines are amazing layers of protection, they help keep people out of the hospital and morgue during the initial infection. but protection wanes quickly, and they don’t prevent long covid.

My friend, take care:
bags of shredded cheese
are being recalled
over concerns they may contain
metal fragments,
so please, my friend, take care,
for our bodies are already filled
with microplastics
and Covid spike proteins,
the last thing they need
are metal fragments too.

He gave a GLOWING review of the latest McWhorter book on pronouns (McWhorter who wrote "Woke Racism") AND called Columbia students protesting genocide "radical Islamists"..

The fact that people are not listening to Black linguists (they do exist) instead of this guy is wild.

it just does not exactly make me want to dip food chunks in gooey warm stuff and eat it, maybe i’m weird 🤷🏼

aahhhhhhhhhh whyyyyy would you put those signs together lmaoooooo

Every once in a while someone accuses me of posting something they don’t agree with “for the likes” and I assure you it is not for the likes or for any reason other than that I am constitutionally incapable of not posting

[#DS9 s7 spoilers]

next question:

why did everyone just go back to normal after finding out that it’s possible to put a transporter on a gun and teleport a bullet?

if i learned i could be shot at literally any second of my life i would not ever feel safe for another sec—oh wait jk i live in 🇺🇸.

A still from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Gul Dukat is sitting in Sisko's chair, drinking kanar and acting like he owns the place. (Dukat is a Cardassian, a kind of grey alien with bony ridges on their face and neck.) Caption: "... is s there a single statue of me on Bajor?"

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

If I don't pay this asap, the whole amount of $2K will become due. Please help me! Even if I have to pay you back Friday the 12th, I just need this gone!!

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

XG’s Cocona Comes Out as Transmasculine, Nonbinary The 20-year-old rapper announced the news in an Instagram post: “I was born and perceived as female, but that label never represented who I truly am. I live in a way that feels more masculine and true...

Actually somewhat-massive news, COCONA, one of the members of the all-Japanese based-in-Korea group XG, has come out as non-binary transmasc and having had top surgery

Which for an active idol in either country is just unheard of, never mind one at such a big group. They look amazing!

there’s someone close to me who has gone through a lot of chronic health stuff, but is now bafflingly taking more risks when it comes to covid, so… i can relate. 😔

at least until too many pharma employees get too disabled to keep working… sigh

this is an absurd, staggering amount of money to lose and the thing is that it basically didn’t matter at all because Meta prints money

the AI bubble is not going to completely destroy tech because many of the people funding it are sitting on gigantic money spigots and can go “oops”

The Greatest Feeling in the World Seven months with an electric bike.

I wrote about #LongCOVID stealing my lifelong favorite hobby of cycling, learning that e-bikes aren't "giving up" or "cheating," and how riding with assistance gave me back one of the greatest joys of my life. bit.ly/48ohIH5

Women gamers boycott global esports tournament over trans ban Several teams of female gamers have dropped out of the Dead by Daylight Women's World Cup after trans women were banned.

Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

Cant stop, cant stop! 🙃

So glad we have an incompetent regime and absentee legislature running the show in the US

so apparently clown husbandry is *not* about finding mr right and honking on it silly style

A Mutating Threat: Scientists Warn H5N1 Bird Flu Is Evolving Faster Than Ever PHNOM PENH — The dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus has entered what scientists describe as a new, unpredictable stage, spreading across the world and mutat...

"[H5N1] has become a fast-changing global pathogen, spreading thru birds, repeatedly testing the biological boundaries of mammals & producing more genetic variation than at any time in its history."

H5N1 has a 50% fatality rate in humans. (Or 50% survival rate if you're a glass-half-full type. 🙃)

I’m old enough to remember the strike that happened a whole year ago because companies like Netflix claimed they don’t have enough money to pay residuals to actors for their work. Netflix has $82 Billion to buy Warner Bros.
