I'll probably accept like 3 slots to start, and depending on if I'm overwhelmed or not, I'll accept some more 🦛

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression

i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

#SaveSpeech

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability

Calls for platform accountability came with few answers about who decides what speech is acceptable.

He's keeping to his studies, some more than others...

🐺🦁🦡🐐

A collage of illustrations featuring Hati, my wolf character, and his friends.

At the top left and right he spars, practicing magic against the wolverine and the spear with the goat.

In the center he studies academics with his lion friend, Lysander. However, it looks like he's still quite tired from all of that physical activity...

Hope you have a great day, dude. 🥳

Before Hinata became a warrior, he was raised by his father as a blacksmith with the intention that he would inherit the family business. Even now, the bird prefers to repair his own equipment, or make his own tools if possible at the cost of some blackened feathers 🐦🔥

A large, burly shima-enaga works away at a forge, raising his hammer to strike a sheet of metal that he's holding into shape. Above him hangs his tools, and on his face a stern expression thick with shadow - allowing only the purple glow of his eyes to show.
