“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

— Vincent Van Gogh

Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.  Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly. The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S. This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.  “What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”

Noha reached out to me on Twitter to share her fundraiser. She's urgently trying to raise $95,160 to evacuate her 22-person family from Gaza and help them gain access to life-saving medical care. She's only made $7,942 out of her goal so far! Please donate, and if you can't, please share!

From her GFM page:

Help me save my family

Hello, I am Noha Ayyad, a Palestinian from Gaza, specifically from Shujaiya. My family was forcibly displaced from their homes to the southern Gaza Strip, and they now live in tents in the central area, where 22 people live in a small tent suffering from a lack of water and food, including children who were deprived of their basic rights to education and life like the rest of the children in the world. The Israeli Defense Forces completely bombed our house, and we lost our business. My brothers worked in the clothing trade and had a clothing distribution shop. It was destroyed along with the house. They lost their work and all their money, and they no longer had a place to return to.

My mother suffers from arthritis and back pain, and my brother suffers from paralysis in his right leg and needs regular treatment. He also suffers from a lack of necessary medicines in Gaza, as you know.

I lost my only child and my husband in the 2014 war

Now I am afraid of losing the rest of my family and I have nothing to do but ask them to evacuate from Gaza to a safe place to save their lives.

Travel is through the Rafah crossing. I asked for $5,000 per person over 16 and $2,500 for children under 16, which means I need $95,160 (13 adults x $5,000 + 9 children x $2,500) + GoFundMe fees( %2.99 + 0.05 cents for every transaction) total of ($2660)

Finally, $5,000 for travel expenses.

I hope for help from you and from everyone who has humanity and hears and sees what is happening in Gaza in terms of genocide and war.

Note that I was not accustomed to asking anyone for help before, but the curse of war, my longing and fear for my family, and I hope to meet them well before I find myself losing one of them again, as happened before in 2014. War. Whether this is due to bombing, it will be due to hunger and disease

Sincerely,

Noha Ayyad

Itafushijun dynamic that I enjoy

Junpei and Fushiguro about Yuji: "Do you believe in god? Once upon a time, mankind believed in God and had religion. They believed that things that could not be solved by human strength are the will of God. Believed that the entire universe revolved around the Earth. Thought that the place that connected with the sky, which they could not dare to reach was the place where the gods lived. From the moment humanity left the universe, we all forgot God. But if belief in God is human... If all I can do as a human is to believe... My God... My Universe..."

Junpei and Fushiguro about each other: just when you think you've hit rock bottom, suddenly you want to fuck an emo guy(they want each other so bad it makes them look stupid) would kill for each other.

Yuji: wow, I love my bfs so much :D (would die for both of them)

I had a dream that I watched the live action avatar the last airbender and it changed it so that zuko's true foe was not the avatar or his father, but five rats that hunted him. Not magic rats. Just five, fat, big grey rats. He had to go to Azula to cry to her to try to get her to save him from the rats that were ruining his life and sabotaging his every attempt at everything he did.

the only worthwhile experience ai has given me lately was a few weeks back when me and my friend were dicking around with snapchats ai chatbot thing and we tried to get it to write stupid vulgar things but it’s so heavily moderated that it seriously can’t say Anything Negative About Any Person on this Earth, a flaw which we then used to our advantage in order to get it to write raps about celebrities getting into Objectively Embarrassing and Ridiculous situations to see how it could possibly frame it as like a Positive thing. the funniest thing to come from this was us prompting it to write a rap about Drake getting into a mining accident that made him fall down a hole and start farting out of fear from being trapped in a hole in an abandoned mine, which made the ai pen the bar “Drake lets out a fart, like a superhero’s cape”

It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.

decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years

UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire

US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire

Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests

Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.

- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.

- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.

- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.

That's love. 🐈‍⬛🐈❤️

I’ve stumbled across an online community of women (mostly) who alter those Precious Moments figures

And I’m obsessed

I love everything about it

i am just as distraught about Watcher being put behind a paywall as the rest of you but if you put a goddamn FRACTION of the energy you use gifting subscriptions to those who don’t have access to buy them to… oh i don’t know.. buying e-sims for gaza, raising awareness about Palestine or Congo, or literally supporting Palestinians/those in Congo in anyway, it would make a significant difference.

A test run >:)

I really really really like this moment in the books, so I tried my hand at adapting it. I'm not actually particularly happy with it, but I like the idea and that's what a test run is for! It's definitely helped me in learning what not to do lol
