Timeline cleanse: Yesterday I was introduced to the teporingo (volcano rabbit) — it’s like a rabbit crossed with a pika and is only found on Popocatépetl and three of the other volcanoes near Mexico City: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano...
The cutest, tiniest little round-eared rabbit you have ever seen.

Idk if anyone in Phx is itching for an early December Sunday market, but if any other artists wanted to come table that would be fun! (Or just attend it’s mostly TTRPG and boardgame reselling)

We’re snail posting, post your snails!

Had fun drawing this scaly-foot gastropod last month! (I also have a little stamp I made in August but it’s not on my phone)
Marker and ink drawing of a snail, the body red, and the shell and scaly, rock-like feet are grey. The floor and thermal vents are green, yellow, coral, and blue color. The deep sea around is dry, streaky black ink with blue, green, and red behind it.

people hate AI, but they don't actually understand what it is. for example, you know the most famous AI program? that's actually an example of AI! the more you know
tiktok comment: "Not at all. I think a lot of people are traumatized with the term AI and don't understand it. You use ChatGPT right? It's essentially the same thing."

I know we all have a lot of other things to worry about right now but this is your PSA to get the latest covid booster & flu shot if you haven't already. It takes a couple weeks to build immunity and holidays will be here soon. (Stickers from my shop! shop.breelundberg.com/product/get-...)

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.

One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

2 years ago i was working a cash register at a store with a deli counter and i watched as someone's EBT card declined because their sandwich was toasted and that was a real "what the fuck is this system" moment

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.

“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

Okay but a random scoop of dice and zines, stickers, prints, cards, and magnets hopefully entices people. And my dice mini zine will be free at GG Grand Exchange, Gamers Guild AZ (North Phoenix), Dec 7th, 10am-4pm
A box of multiple sets of random TTRPG dice and many small 6-sided dice, and an orange medicine bottle with dice in it. stickers, lasercut wood charm, zines, and business cards by PandaKong spread out randomly to show off designs of animals, and other art.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Making my own post on this. I’m disabled. I was going to apply for SNAP and then I lost my insurance today (Medicaid). So I really need some help. I can’t open commissions as my plate is already full. You can help by donating or buying a print/coloring pages from me.

Here is a before and after of the shirt! I am tempted to add more onto the shirt just for funsies.
A photo of a gray shirt on a table. The shirt pocket says "Sewer" with the character Krobus from Stardew Valley peeking out from it. To the left of the pocket is 5-6 small stains. An after photo of the shirt, featuring cross stitch items covering the stains including: A stardrop, solar essence, void essence, and void egg.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Researchers envision their vaccine being used as both a treatment and a preventive, and as an approach to treating multiple cancer types.

The study has been published in Cell Reports Medicine. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.
• www.cell.com/cell-reports...

🧪🧵⬇️
HIGHLIGHTS • Lipid NPs carrying STING and TLR4 agonists promote synergistic type I interferons • NPs drain efficiently to lymph nodes and increase polyfunctional T and B cells • NPs improve tumor-free outcomes with memory against multiple aggressive tumor models SUMMARY We report on the utility of a "super-adjuvant" nanoparticle (NP) system as a modular, customizable platform for next-generation cancer vaccination. Using nanomaterials engineering technology, we aim to harness not only the effective adjuvanticity of whole-pathogen vaccines, but also the safety of subunit vaccines. Our lipid-based NP platform co-encapsulates agonists of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathways to promote synergistic production of type I interferons and other proinflammatory cytokines in innate antigen-presenting dendritic cells and macrophages. Compared to empty NPs and free agonists, dual-adjuvant NPs administered with antigenic peptides or tumor cell lysate promote increased antigen processing and presentation, drain efficiently to nearby lymph nodes, increase polyfunctional tumor-specific T and B cells, and improve tumor-free outcomes upon vaccination and subsequent challenge with multiple aggressive tumor cells. Graphical Abstract The vaccine combines two immune-stimulating molecules (adjuvants) in a tiny lipid nanoparticle that enhances both innate and adaptive immune responses. The innate immune system acts as the body’s first line of defense, responding quickly and non-specifically to invaders using cells that release inflammatory signals. The adaptive immune system takes longer to activate but provides a targeted, long-lasting response, training T-cells and B- cells to recognize and remember specific threats. Together, they form a coordinated defense: the innate system alerts and activates the adaptive system, which then delivers precise and durable immunity.
