Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day, & Ramen to my Pastafarian friends!

Beyond brain fog: #COVID19 can leave lasting effects on the brain. Honored to be invited to write this editorial for the Journal of the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology. It relates to @virusesimmunity.bsky.social team's review.You can read it here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Beyond brain fog: COVID-19 can leave lasting effects on the brain. Image shows a summary of the key findings observed in autopsy and animal studies investigating how SARS-CoV-2 can impact the body and induce neuroimmune dysregulation. A disruption in how the brain communicates with the body can lead to the development of several complex symptoms, which have been observed in Long Covid patients.

For #DisabilityPride Day, the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, here is my seal design #300; the #DisabilityPrideFlag!
Like on my LGBTQ+ Pride Flag design, I used texture patterns in lieu of colors.
Preorder now on my Etsy store!
lightbringerdesigns.etsy.com/listing/4341...
Angled view of a Disability Pride Flag wax seal with a variety of texture patterns to convey different colors, a gray rectangle with 5 diagonal stripes. The corners have a square texture, stripes are circles, diagonal slashes, flat & very thin, jagged triangles, and large diamonds.

The corners have a square texture, stripes are circles, diagonal slashes, flat & very thin, jagged triangles, and large diamonds. The color original flag I used as a starting point. The corners are gray with diagonal stripes top-left to bottom-right in muted colors - red, gold, white, blue, & green.

It is not so much the case
that I consider myself to be
Covid conscious or
Covid educated or
a Covid realist or
Covid aware or
Covid informed
so much as that I hope one day
to be able to consider myself
a survivor of the Covid pandemic
and I know
that day has not yet come.

Nice snug fit for all the parts on the supply side of my version of a #DentalMask!
This is an improvised, nose-only PAPR to provide P100 filtered air when you're at the dentist or otherwise need to have your mouth open, especially when others in the room refuse to wear N95s. ⬇️

As a fellow small business owner and product designer in another industry, let me say clearly for the folks who don't get it--making good things CHEAP requires something called "economies of scale" (Google it) and **our small market reach doesn't support that.** Our production model is different.

I haven't even designed my canes yet & I already have someone complaining about the price. Trying to bully me into making them 10$ or less like a big brand sells them for.

I'm a small business. My work has value. I make my own designs. I'm allowed to price things however I want.

Duct tape is like The Force - it has a light side, a dark side, & it holds the universe together!
Carry 3' of it in your wallet with this emergency roll & you'll always be prepared to Fix Stuff.

An emergency supply of duct tape, folded down to wallet-size. Photo includes a credit card & $20 bill for scale, & the parent roll of 3M brand tape. Close up of the tape to show that the roll is a bit smaller than a credit card, so it will fit in a wallet slot. Closer up of the tape roll to show it's small enough to hide inside a folded cash bill, so you could hide it inside a billfold.

I'm living on savings that are dwindling fast; capitalists have no interest in a man who will need to sick-out more than almost-never, so I need your support.
I help out whoever I can within the limit of my skills & 🥄s, & hope for enough 💰 to item my head above water.

While I'm not the bragging type, it's necessary here to explain what you're supporting by buying me a cuppa, subscribing would be 💯. I helped a comrade with a car issue this weekend; she's disabled, the car is in rough shape, needed a jump start to move it, messy situation beyond my business to share details. Probably took half an hour with another friend, & tools I always have in the trunk. Before that, I helped my church break down pallets damaged by a fallen tree (long story). I can't afford to give them 💵, but I'm glad to volunteer my skills & tools. I do a lot more things like this than I remember to share here, it's a lifetime habit, going back to the Boy Scouts. Now, though, I need your 💰 to keep that car running & a roof over my head so that I'm able to help others.

This fits over a 3M filter #7093, P100 rated (that's even better than N95).

The Awareness Ribbon Seal is up on Etsy in time for #AutismAwarenessMonth! We use a blue ribbon, or a gold infinity symbol - because the chemical symbol for gold is Au.

To make your own Companion Cube, print both of these at the same size on opposite sides of card stock so they line up & cut on the lines with an Xacto knife.
The red side is bigger than the pattern side so alignment doesn't need to be perfect.

Very easy to use, just peel & stick, press hard for ~15 seconds. Safe to mail!
