Isabel's face turned. Isabel: That'd be fine. At least then I'd know for sure that you're part of him. screenshot of "Orangepeel, Onionskin." the background depicts Lave, a young fat man with white hair, embracing Mona, a thin woman with black hair. they are lying on the ground, in the dark, with miserable expressions. the text reads: Mona: I'm sorry.

Call your elected officials. Get loud. Tell them you’re demanding public health leaders follow the science.

The science says that the COVID vaccine is not only safe, but it saves lives.

Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in children.

The kids deserve protection
luckytran.com Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · 1d
In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children.

This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.
Subject: Deaths in children due to COVID-19 vaccines and CBER’s path forward Dear Team CBER, I am writing to report that OBPV career staff have found that at least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination. These deaths arerelated to vaccination (likely/probable/possible attribution made by staff). That number is certainly an underestimate due to underreporting, and inherent bias in attribution. …. For the first time, the US FDA will acknowledge that COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children. Healthy young children who faced tremendously low risk of death were coerced, at the behest of the Biden administration, via school and work mandates, to receive a vaccine that could result in death. In many cases, such mandates were harmful. It is difficult to read cases where kids aged 7 to 16 may be dead as a result of covid vaccines. …. Putting these facts together, it is horrifying to consider that the US vaccine regulation, including our actions, may have harmed more children than we saved. This requires humility and introspection. Vinay Prasad MD MPH CBER Director, CMSO US FDA

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

Subscribe to support our journalism.
BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

Time to get back to what matters, my shorks OC's!

I had the idea of redesigning Roberto's tattoos to make them more meaningful, so I did some studies of how they would look on his body! 🦈✨

(Or just an excuse to draw Berto shirtless?)

#shark #sharkfolk
A concept art illustration exploring ideas for redesigning the tattoos of my sharkfolk character, Roberto. It shows the tattoos on his body from various angles. There are three tattoos in total: On his right arm: A misty moon between clouds. On his left arm: Stylized giant ocean waves that start on his forearm and end as starry nebulae on his chest. On his back: Some kind of mythological figure, a type of cosmic creature with three heads with stars in place of heads and a fish tail at the end, a kind of fanciful stylization of three shooting stars.

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

RBs on this post are really appreciated <3
A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text". "After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now." I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated. 1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me! 2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season! 3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think! A screenshot of TeleKitnetic's ko-fi shop.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Incredible thread. Was also struck by this part of the @deathpanel.bsky.social Tribute to Alice @sfdirewolf.bsky.social and Leslie @leslieleeiii.bsky.social:
Quote from substack article: "And even as she became more widely recognized—a MacArthur Fellow, a world wide media figure, truly a cultural force—she never forgot her core ethic: that visibility without redistribution is meaningless. That platforms are worthless unless they uplift others. That philanthropy is compromised unless it is seized as a wedge for systemic change. That activism isn’t supposed to be comfortable, or palatable, or convenient. She lived that. She lived it while collaborating with us. While fighting the medical industrial complex. She lived in the clarity of her politics in solidarity with Palestinian liberation where she said, plainly, that disabled liberation is inseparable from the liberation of all oppressed peoples. She lived it in her refusal to be apolitical in a world that often demands that disabled people stay silent, grateful, and compliant."
