Hi there. Homebody and caregiver. Loves arts and various crafty stuff. Would get a pet if circumstances were different but would like to see your cat pictures. Tends to post political stuff. 50 and still trying to figure out this non-binary thing.

⛧ Victor J Merino ⛧So, Twitter 
decided to pull a DeviantArt move and change its Terms Of Services to include anything you post there on their AI dataset, to re-publish your art and benefit from it without your consent or compensation.
TIME TO DELETE YOUR ART PORTFOLIO ON TWITTER
I will only leave my contact information there, nothing else.

Positive news today, she had another chest scan and the clot is responding well to the heparin. Dad (who can visit now) says she’s more like her usual self today, awake more, and a nurse got her to eat. Her eyesight is apparently improved, though that might be subjective and she’s not a reliable reporter. It’s a good start.
My bro and sis are over there tonight.

Just saw a really shit cis take, so I’m just gonna say this plain.
Blocking access to cross-sex hormone treatments is trans genocide. Full stop.
It is as surely genocide as blocking access to thyroid medication, heart medication, or diabetes medication.
“You’ll live, it’ll just be harder” is such a colossally tone deaf response that it produces an inverse waveform that nullifies everything you say after it.

[EDIT: IT'S FUNDED! Zero twitter/insta promo!]
This is the first kickstarter I'm doing *without* using Twitter or Instagram for promo. I've been on twitter for as long as I've been in indie-comics, so cutting off that community base has been difficult, and I've been stressing out over how much this is going to affect my livelihood.
I'm a full-time indie creator. So I need the platforms to live. 
Let's hope mastodon and twitch can cushion the potential fall!
@caregivers Update to the update: We’ve gone from the assumption that dehydration was the issue to, Mom is suspected to have a pulmonary embolism and is on a heparin drip. Likely to be in the hospital for another 3 days while they evaluate. I spent a few hours with her both last night and tonight. She was much more irritable last night, they’ve done a few things to make her more comfortable. She’s sleeping a lot and not eating much.
It’s starting to sink in how quickly we could lose her here.
muıııoI saw this from a fellow Fediversian - it seems smaller instances get better federated if people boost their toots across the #Fediverse?
If so, I'd be grateful if you #boost this toot and help my mini-instance reach farther.

So, the “parents have COVID” update: I’m sitting in a hospital room with my mother right now. She’s sleeping. It’s not so much the COVID that has her here, but the COVID on top of Alzheimer’s which has her neglecting to eat and drink enough which gives her dehydration and dizzy spells and a tendency to fall and smack herself in the face. Siblings are taking turns sitting with her the last two days, dad is out of quarantine tomorrow and can come and find out where we go from here.

Dr Zoë HydeImagine if you could rapidly detect COVID-19 in public places by testing the air. Now you can! Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new air monitor that can detect the presence of an infected person in as little as 5 minutes. (1/3) 🧵

Real-time environmental surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 aerosols - Nature Communications
Rapid detection of respiratory pathogens circulating in indoor environments could facilitate improved infection prevention responses. In this proof-of-concept study, the authors develop a pathogen air quality monitor for real-time direct detection of SARS-CoV-2 aerosols and demonstrate its application in rooms of people with SARS-CoV-2 infections.
