so: masking: good, unequivocally. please mask and please educate others on why they should mask to make the world safer for immune compromised people to participate in.

however: masking is not my policy focus and it shouldn't be yours, either. masking is a very good mitigation against droplet-born illnesses and a slightly less effective (but still very good) mitigation against airborne illnesses, but its place in the pyramid of mitigation demands is pretty low, for several reasons:

it's an individual mitigation, not a systemic one. the best mitigations to make public life more accessible affect everyone without distributing the majority of the effort among individuals (who may not be able to comply, may not have access to education on how to comply, or may be actively malicious).

it's a post-hoc mitigation, or to put it another way, it's a band-aid over the underlying problem. even if it was possible to enforce, universal masking still wouldn't address the underlying problem that it is dangerous for sick people and immune compromised people to be in the same public locations to begin with. this is a solvable problem! we have created the societal conditions for this problem!

here are my policy focuses:

upgraded air filtration and ventilation systems for all public buildings. appropriate ventilation should be just as bog-standard as appropriately clean running water. an indoor venue without a ventilation system capable of performing 5 complete air changes per hour should be like encountering a public restroom without any sinks or hand sanitizer stations whatsoever.

enforced paid sick leave for all employees until 3-5 days without symptoms. the vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through industry sectors where employees come into work while experiencing symptoms. a taco bell worker should never be making food while experiencing strep throat symptoms, even without a strep diagnosis.

enforced virtual schooling options for sick students. the other vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through schools. the proximity of so many kids and teenagers together indoors (with little to no proper ventilation and high levels of physical activity) means that if even one person comes to school sick, hundreds will be infected in the following few days. those students will most likely infect their parents as well. allowing students to complete all readings and coursework through sites like blackboard or compass while sick will cut down massively on disease transmission.

accessible testing for everyone. not just for COVID; if there's a test for any contagious illness capable of being performed outside of lab conditions, there should be a regulated option for performing that test at home (similar to COVID rapid tests). if a test can only be performed under lab conditions, there should be a government-subsidized program to provide free of charge testing to anyone who needs it, through urgent cares and pharmacies.

the last thing to note is that these things stack; upgraded ventilation systems in all public buildings mean that students and employees get sick less often to begin with, making it less burdensome for students and employees to be absent due to sickness, and making it more likely that sick individuals will choose to stay home themselves (since it's not so costly for them).

masking is great! keep masking! please use masking as a rhetorical "this is what we can do as individuals to make public life safer while we're pushing for drastic policy changes," and don't get complacent in either direction--don't assume that masking is all you need to do or an acceptable forever-solution, and equally, don't fall prey to thinking that pushing for policy change "makes up" for not masking in public. it's not a game with scores and sides; masking is a material thing you can do to help the individual people you interact with one by one, and policy changes are what's going to make the entirety of public life safer for all immune compromised people.

Another lineup of the creeps completed ♨︎_♨︎

ART FOR GAZA🇵🇸

I’m opening commissions for Gaza. Through Operation Olive Branch, I matched with Sara and her family. All proceeds go to them.

Sara is one of us—a 19 year old anime artist and computer science student who loves Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, and Attack on Titan. She needs money to pass the Egyptian border and medicine to treat an illness from pollution. Like, share, and donate if you can

You can read more about Sara and her family on her GoFundMe, and you can see her art on her insta 

Fill out my fundraiser commission form to get started.

I’ll be conducting these commissions differently than my usual since my goal is to generate as much support as possible for Sara and her family. Read my updated TOS at the bottom of the form to review the special circumstances.

There are many other families in need of support. You can see their details on the Operation Olive Branch master list spreadsheet here, and learn more about Operation Olive Branch on their linktree

Bird dump!!!

First up, a redraw of this seeing as it’s been a year :3 I’m so happy with it. Also I put so much effort into this plaque of the old Agency logo that I can’t let it be hidden💔

Next, a potential keychain design! I still have to figure out if I want to do a reverse side or just keep it as the one image..

And finally, Canary’s reference sheet!! It’s for around the mid 1960s/the events of the games, when he’s a support agent. Just look at him go

DANDYS WORLD AU STUFF!!

co owned by @unnamed-proxy and my offsite bestie

It's called 'post ichor operation au' and deals with the hypothetical showing what would happen if Astro was able to eventually save himself and his friends from the whole ichor thing!

Dandy who was forced to do this to begin with struggles with the #consequences to his actions while his close companions are all healing.

So ya that's the gist!!

Oh also Dandys leg is broken so pebble is like a service dog and helps him get around

[gemidoriwillbarelyusethisaccount]

The script is blank.

So the infected Sif and the terrifying potential their AU has led me to cooking up one more lil treat for my own ISAT AU (or at least one more for now :D)

This is a bad ending where Siffrin does die after chapter 7 of my fanfic. Mal du Pays is all that remains, taking its own form based off Siffrin's body - now absorbed to make a complete Sadness.

They have no recollection of themself or their friends. They have no memories at all, in fact. There is no love, no joy, no humor and no admiration to be found. All that was left of Siffrin has burned away, save for their dangerous powers during their time as a Sadness.

While they appear and behave more akin to standard Sadnesses rather than the irrational blithering Scriptfrin, Mal du Pays retains its cold strategic skills, and is almost more capable now that it no longer has Siffrin to hold it back.

Every time it looks at their friends, and witnesses them break down and cry...every time it sees them realize that they could not save their loved one in time...

...The sight only ever serves to confuse it.

I just found out the dev wanted to be @'d for art, so @insertdisc5 I hope you enjoy <3!

For added context, this is a potential bad ending of my fanfiction AU https://archiveofourown.org/works/56458945?view_full_work=true
