lets be real though, callouts and smear campaigns have skyrocketed in frequency and inanity within the past 5 years, especially among marginalized groups. ppl will come up with any dumb ass reason to publicly skewer vulnerable folks purely out of scorn, because, unfortunately, it works. nobody thinks critically about anything anymore. taking shit at face value. i found out somebody had been contacting multiple friends of mine out of "concern" for my horrible thoughtcrime of thinking it'd be hot to be turned into a pokemon. like. find a real problem

'don't get inspired by my style' is such a funny thing to say. do NOT let any art i make have any lasting impression on you. only view my work if you are going to men in black mind wipe yourself later. the territorial defensiveness over "art styles" is a disease of the mind stg

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.”

notes have piled up on my last post but my needs r different so im remaking;

currently have a week exactly to raise $84 to pay our phone bill this month. any extra we raise will go towards covering other essentials. we are also still sorely in need of several housewares and toiletries (all listed on our registry) so if anyone can help with those we would deeply appreciate it! folks can chip in here, here or here, no amount is too small (if a bunch of folks sent like. $5 id get this met rly fast and wouldnt need to keep asking!)

we also r gonna need help paying our rent this month ($544 due 5/1) but whenever i try to crowdfund for that before the like. last two weeks of the month donos dont come in consistently and i have to spend what i raise on other expenses, but i figure if i mention it maybe ppl will help.

it is so incredibly sad to constantly see kids on instagram and tiktok who are younger than my brother have to literally beg for shelter, food, water, medicine, and their right to exist as human beings

i mean, this young girl is only ten years old, yet she is essentially responsible for convincing random people scrolling through instagram that her and her family’s life are worth fighting for

on top of that, their gofundme is not even 10% funded and time is running out, please if you can’t donate, just share

please don’t let this little girl die begging
