In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.
But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.

Very disappointed in @bsky.app for choosing to silence artists, self moderation is the way. People can block and move on if they don't like what they see.
Censorship is never the way. It's a double edged sword and it WILL be used to hurt creatives.
