I have been too bummed to make art lately. 🥺

Between current events, generally feeling invisible on socmed & the eternal flood of generated images I often feel like it’s futile for me to make art. 😩

Do any other artists out there feel like this sometimes? What do you do to push thru this? 😮‍💨

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

Social media can make you feel like you are too small to do anything - but small things are where change happens. think about small ways that other people have made your life better, i bet you do the same on a daily basis. do small things, your friends depend on it

The best weapons we average schumucks have against facism is humor and knowledge. Knowing the truth and mocking the absurd can be extremely powerful in the face of wannabe authoritarian arrogance.

This is very helpful reframing, thank you Charry 💕

Thanks Red. I’m trying. 🥹

And for clarity, I’m not concerned with any popularity contest, re: visibility on SocMed.

I am concerned with the use of AI moderation tools that have unfairly been marking my entire account as explicit erroneously, seriously impairing my reach to community.

my new grant proposal scheme, now that my last one failed, is to try to sell the provincial arts council on giving me 15k to make really large scale sargent-esque transgender porno oil paintings.

im like. u didnt like my realism oil respectability portfolio.

how about some pussy then.

So, I was wondering... what if I made a dragon variant of my "Pawsitive Transfurmation" shirt?

Any interest out there in "Rawr-sitive Transformation"?

if you're able to picture an apple then where, spatially, is the apple located? without challenging yourself to move it do you position the imagined apple by default (A) inside your head (B) as a physical object in front of your vision (C) on a tv/computer screen (D) as a sexy costume you're wearing

✋Halt, traveler!!!

Do you have any treats on you to pay the passage toll? 🤔🦴

No?? Well maybe some petting will do… 🥰

Deep mutational scanning, a method used to screen for how viruses mutate to evade immune attack, discovered that no mutation would make 04_A06 weaker significantly. In contrast to other antibodies with clear-cut escape points, 04_A06 drove the virus into a genetic dead end so to speak.

This finding potentially opens up new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of HIV infections.
uni-koeln.de/en/universit...

The study has been published in Nature Immunology. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧪🧵⬇️
ABSTRACT
Administration of HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies can suppress viremia and prevent infection in vivo. However, clinical use is challenged by envelope diversity and rapid viral escape. Here, we performed single B cell profiling of 32 top HIV-1 elite neutralizers to identify broadly neutralizing antibodies with highest antiviral activity.
From 831 expressed monoclonal antibodies, we identified 04_A06, a VH1-2-encoded broadly neutralizing antibody to the CD4 binding site with remarkable breadth and potency against multiclade pseudovirus panels (geometric mean half-maximal inhibitory concentration =0.059 ug ugml-1, breadth = 98.5%, 332 strains).
Moreover, 04_A06 was not susceptible to classic CD4 binding site escape variants and maintained full viral suppression in HIV-1-infected humanized mice.
Structural analyses revealed an unusually long 11-amino-acid heavy chain insertion that facilitates interprotomer contacts with highly conserved residues on the adjacent gp120 protomer. Finally, 04_A06 demonstrated high activity against contemporaneously circulating viruses from the Antibody-Mediated Prevention trials (geometric mean half-maximal
inhibitory concentration = 0.082 ug ml-1, breadth =
98.4%, 191 virus strains), and in silico modeling for
04_A06LS predicted prevention efficacy of >93%.
Thus, 04_A06 will provide unique opportunities for effective treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

Yay for trying something different! I bet they will give a pleasant clack when clasped together 🥰
