Sent Me A Dm And I Couldn't Help But Rb! Sorry I Can't Provide, But I Hope Others Do!

A random no name for your fancy.

My babs Celest and Zaliah as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy! I left the hair like their usual stuffs so they'd be recognizable. As always, a coloured version will later be posted on my dA!

Daily Reminder!

No matter what fandom- if you have a request for something of a fandom I'm not a part of, I'll do my best to find who you want and draw them!

How many requests do you have?

Not many, at the moment. I just have a couple art exchange gifts to finish (I know, it's been ages...) and a few personal projects I want to start, but if you have a request, I'll gladly take it, lovely anon uwu

Update!

Hello all! First off, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, or any other holiday you celebrate. Festivities aside, this update is about my health. Throughout the past few days I've fallen terribly ill and can hardly move without feeling immense pain. I've been given medication for it- one of which gave me an extreme case of hives which only healed a couple hours ago. This being said, I'm not sure when I'll be better, if it all. I have the highest hopes, but it doesn't look too well for me. I received many arts supplies as Christmas presents, and now I'm afraid I won't even be able to use them. My point is that there probably won't be a whole lot of activity on this blog or any of my sideblogs. This is officially my hiatus post. I do hope I will be back sooner than later, but no one knows. I wish the best for all of you. Love you all, and I hope this isn't the last of my time here. -T

So...H5N1 (Bird Flu) is here

And all signs are pointing to a global pandemic more fatal than the one prior. The initial stages of this are a rinse and repeat of Covid-19's arrival, which saw a lot of state repression of information on the severity of infection rates and delayed enforcement of safety protocols.

Earlier this year, the U.S. saw its first death of an animal-to-human transmission of H5N1 in Louisiana; however with the rollback of safety and health federal regulations in the wake of the returning Trump administration, compounded by an executive-mandated communications blackout of the FDA, CDC and withdrawal from the WHO, conditions are ideal for a nightmarish outbreak scenario should transmissions evolve to human-to-human.

The following are reports coming from the U.K., U.S., and China in the last couple of days:

This is a CDC report from 2 weeks ago:

"As of January 6, 2025, there have been 66 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the United States since 2024 and 67 since 2022. This is the first person in the United States who has died as a result of an H5 infection. Outside the United States, more than 950 cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported to the World Health Organization; about half of those have resulted in death."

As of right now, I would highly implore everyone to cease the consumption of eggs and poultry products for the time being. There is currently an egg shortage due to "quality standards" in the U.S. and prices have already gone up dramatically. Get involved in community gardens and get in contact with local farmers--see what you can get directly from there! Mask up, update your vaccinations, practice proper hygiene, avoid physical contact with wild animals (birds especially), and stay safe! Look after your neighbors!

UPDATE: Weekend of 1/24 - 1/26/2025

Related: As of 1/26/25

- Kansas, USA is experiencing its highest record cases of tuberculosis in its entire history!

- New case of Polio recorded in Afghanistan

- India saw its first death in 101 confirmed cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (16 people are on ventilators)

A warmer planet is only going to exacerbate the spread of diseases worldwide moving forward. Mask up!

Fifth time trying to post this ;-; These are four of my creepypasta/horror ocs being doofs! I used one of the group bases as a reference. This was started ages ago, but somehow got pushed to be finished until yesterday~
