Great news for uninsured adults in the USA who want a COVID-19 booster! It now appears that ALL CVS locations are now active participants in the Bridge Access Program. The Bridge Access Program gives out free Covid-19 vaccinations to 18+ adults who otherwise can't afford one, so if you have a CVS near you, please go get one! For others who don't have a CVS near them, please go to vaccines.gov, click on "Find Covid-19 vaccines", fill out which vaccines you prefer (you can mix different vaccines if you have to so i reccomend just marking all of them for the age groups you need), and when the next page loads mark the "Bridge Access Program Participant" option to see only locations that are Bridge Access Program participants. Hopefully, other places that aren't CVS will start participating soon, so just check back every so often to see if there are any updates. The CDC Bridge Access Program website also has more details on what locations will be participating, but only CVS is appearing as an active participant on the vaccines.gov location finder at the moment.

Adam Siao Him Fa: SOS d'un terrien en détresse » 2025 European Championships

“The result isn't what matters most to me, especially today. Today there was catastrophic news about what happened in the United States, where a lot of young skaters, coaches and parents died in the flight [accident]. And it's very, very sad. It's not easy when you hear this news. I also wanted to dedicate this program, this performance to them and their close ones.” (x)

how do you make progress in art? I know I need to practice, but I don't know what is effective.

this is going to sound unhelpful but honestly you just have to keep trying things that are hard and don't turn out the way you like them straight away. you have to draw hands even though they're difficult and look weird, you have to try different poses and angles even though you don't think you can pull them off, and when you draw something and it doesn't look good right away the first time you have to ask yourself "am i willing to put in a little more effort to improve this, even if it still doesn't turn out the way i want it to" before moving on to something else or retreating into your comfort zone. it's hard because instant gratification always feels more rewarding in the short-term, but that quickly fades, while long-term satisfaction (and the skills you gained in the process) endures.

also study other people whose work you admire, check if they have tutorials, tips, etc. and adapt them to your own process

Queer Fiction Free-for-All Book Bracket Tournament: Round 5

Book summaries below:

Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland

Avra Helvaçi, former field agent of the Araşti Ministry of Intelligence, has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the world―and the only place to flee with a secret that big is the open sea.

To find a buyer with deep enough pockets, Avra must ask for help from his on-again, off-again ex, the pirate Captain Teveri az-Ḥaffār. They are far from happy to see him, but together, they hatch a plan: take the information to the isolated pirate republic of the Isles of Lost Souls, fence it, profit. The only things in their way? A calculating new Araşti ambassador to the Isles of Lost Souls who’s got his eyes on Avra’s every move; Brother Julian, a beautiful, mysterious new member of the crew with secrets of his own and a frankly inconvenient vow of celibacy; the fact that they’re sailing straight into sea serpent breeding season and almost certain doom.

But if they can find a way to survive and sell the secret on the black market, they’ll all be as wealthy as kings―and, more important, they’ll be legends.

Time to Orbit: Unknown series (The Javelin Program, The Antarctica Conspiracy) by Derin Edala

When Dr Aspen Greaves signed up for the Javelin Program, humanity's first foray into colonising deep space, they expected to wake up to life in a thriving colony on a distant planet. Instead, they find themself five years away from their destination on a broken spaceship full of complex mysteries, dead astronauts, and a very unhelpful AI.

Aspen wasn't trained for any of this. But if they can't keep themselves alive, get the ship in working order, and find out what went wrong by unravelling a chain of mysteries leading all the way back to distant Earth, then neither Aspen nor the five thousand sleeping passengers in their care will ever see a planet again.

Someone (I don’t remember Whomst but please do raise your hand if it was you) once proposed the idea that Terzo might be a bit of a pianist based off of this image

And I just wanted to say that I support this idea. Not only because I think Terzo being able to play piano is adorable, but because it would make the Kazoo of Destiny even funnier in my eyes.

Dude is a classically-trained concert pianist, would make so many of his peers swoon by doing that dumb “Oh is that a piano? Don’t mind if I do~” bit and playing a concerto off the cuff. He could easily wriggle in a piano bit for himself during rituals and acoustic sessions — and the Clergy would’ve been on board for once because they know the power that a confident, handsome man with strong fingers can wield on an already horny audience.

But nope: He toot his lil kazoo, his favorite party favor he got three years ago at a New Year’s Eve party.

I think that in normal circumstances, the boys have boring old man habits. Specifically I can see them having a set time of day for listening to the radio. It's something both their generations have in common, both for music and the news, and I feel like it's a little piece they would both want to maintain. Something just to feel a little normal and real.

sometimes, being an artist just means doodling a bunch of stuff on a page that isn't particularly interesting to see because you don't feel like drawing digitally. lining doodles not because they look good, but just because you feel like it
