To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.” (Published Nov. 2025)

Florida Legislators Advance a Bill Authorizing Government Surveillance Based on 'Views' or 'Opinions'

The KIDS Act (mass censorship and surveillance law that would eliminate anonymous internet use) is moving forward in the House, and the only opposition is from Democrats who claim it doesn't censor and surveil ENOUGH. When is the left going to wake tf up???

Trans ppl under attack from the govt could be identified and outed w/o their consent. Undocumented immigrants would be cut off from the ability to communicate w advocates. Young ppl seeking abortions won't be able to access info safely and anonymously. This is what congress is advancing today 👇🏻

Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It will allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship. Call your congress people TODAY

371 security/ privacy academics, including a Turing Award winner, just issued a letter saying age verification laws are building global surveillance infrastructure. Every search, message, and article read would require ID verification. Democrats are working w/ Republicans to push these laws through

Artists, show your range

You very obviously did not read my book!!!! lol. Regardless, the moral panic about kids & internet access is baseless and every single top academic who studies this topic has said so. The campaign u support is led by Heritage Foundation & Morality in Media, their goal is censorship and surveillance

the kansas trans license revocation/bounty hunt law is the bill they introduced and passed through both chambers all in the same day, even! you'd think capitol beat reporters would be all over it for that novelty if nothing else. but trans, i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I'm getting things started, I'm happy to have managed to map out where the story of Waters Gone By will take place! 🦈✨ It's simple for now, but I hope you like it! www.patreon.com/posts/tideba...

Ahhhhh @pegushi.bsky.social's shark ticket postcards finally came!! They're so prettyyy!!! 😍

We need to stop using industry-friendly PR terms like “age verification” and call it what it is: Digital ID

Been putting off this hussif project for way too long. Finally finished it today (w/ moral support from my cousin's dog, who I'm dog sitting this week)!

I never understood the desire to read a bad book because it sounds bad....until recently. About halfway through this AI-ass book cover of an indie book and, yes, the contents are just as janky as the book cover implies. It's amazing.

This is a win for Minnesota’s farmers, small business owners, and consumers. Working people have being paying too steep a price. www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/p...

I'm not a constituent, but as an LGBTQ+ woman who has to use a VPN to access BlueSky because of a similar state law, please reconsider. These laws are almost always used to restrict rights, especially those of already-marginalized people, in the name of "protecting children."

And if they win it, they do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him."

For #BlueSkyArtShow I present a Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) in marker and Prismacolor on Strathmore tan paper. I did the background to mimic the #sunlight rays passing through the water. 💙🤙🦈 #art #artist #drawing #illustration #wildlife #sciart #marinelife #nature #shark

Reasons why I shouldn't get top surgery according to my mom (ft. my Dad): "but exercise will reduce your breast size!" "Just exercise for a year"

Finished Apocalypse Hotel the other day. First anime of the year and in my "watch 1 Anime a month" goal. Glad I started off strong with this one. Love Yachiyo and the whole cast!

The Heritage Foundation is seeking to enact its Project 2025 goal of repealing Section 230. This would give the government complete control over online speech. It would “help stop censoring conservatives” in that the Trump admin would have full ultimate control over all information we consume online

Yooooooo! Let's goooooo!!!

Milky Subway fanart from one of my favorite artists? Yes please!!!

I tried modeling the little Ocelot Shark, a proposed mob idea for the seas of Hytale, attempting something different from just aggressive sharks with no depth. Despite the stress of being rusty with 3D, it was fun. 🦈✨

Now that Hytale is here, I'm reminiscing about these shark-inspired mob design ideas I sketched out five years ago. An attempt to diversify our idea of sharks in games, moving beyond the old stereotypes of aggressive mobs without depth! 🦈✨ #Hytale #Shark

Milky Subway is 30 minutes of awesome fun and everyone should watch it. It's free on YouTube and also animated by one guy which is insanely cool. I hope it gets cool merch!

All the books I read in the second half of 2025. I read 34 books, only a few of which were books I owned. Going into the new year, my goal is to read all the books I own that I haven't read yet (28 books) and refrain from buying any new books.

I received a question on Tumblr about the origin of the term "The Dreamfaders", which Waiohana (the sharkfolk) used in the past to refer to humans in the story, and I was inspired to do a few things. Its origin is attributed to an old legend about the discovery of an enigmatic fossil. 💀✨

Hermit crab switched shells at the touch tank of this marine science center I volunteer at and I finally got it on video! He look so nakey without his shell

Basking sharks are called ウバザメ・Ubazame in Japanese. One of my favorite sharks! They're big filter feeding bois that sometimes like to launch themselves out of the water. I hope they have fun when they do that.
