Repeat Covid infections increase your risk of Long Covid.

We are in a mass disabling event that too many people are choosing to ignore.

Every infection is a dice roll with disability, and many (children included) are being infected once a year or more.

Mask up, clean the air, get boosted!

Repeat COVID-19 Infections Could Double Your Risk of Long COVID

The latest study shows that getting repeat COVID-19 infections can come at a high health cost.

Happy #PortfolioDay 🎨🎶

I'm Froge, a digital artist & singer! I'm also in a virtual idol group @afterlightidols.com!

I love to draw colorful OCs, and I am a mezzo-soprano! I'd love to work with you 💫

VGen: vgen.co/hypofroge

Yune is an alien moon dog with a humanoid form. She has blue skin, white dog ears, yellow angel wings affixed to her hair, and purple demon horns with golden rings around them. They also have white wings affixed to their shoulders. Her ears are pointed, like elven ears. There is a pink gem at the center of her forehead, visible through her long wavy bangs. Their hair is white and pink, and very long. On the top of her head is a giant white ribbon with stars and moons on them. She has big pink eyes and one purple stripe on each side of her cheeks.

They're wearing a chunky golden collar around their neck, which has a pink heart in the center, and golden wings on each side of the heart. There is a giant pink heart locket with a smaller purple heart hanging over her chest with a golden chain extending down just above the tummy. Yune is wearing a pink and white bodysuit with golden accents, and over the tummy is a diamond shape.

She is dancing, with her giant pink sleeves drooping over as she sways around. One sleeve has a golden moon, and the other has a golden diamond shape. Yune has a happy expression. Their fluffy white tail has a pink X shape near the top, resembling bandages.

The background is purple with pink stars and a giant pink moon. There are also some clouds in the distance.

A vibrant humanoid fox-like creature holds out their hands to reach for the stars. Their hair--which is long and tied back--and tail are the same colors, a gradient of hot pink, orange, yellow, and red. They have big fox-like ears on the top of their head, poking out from underneath their bangs. Therion has a hot pink star tattoo on their face, and a cat-shaped mouth showing a look of wonder. There are three giant golden rings surrounding their tail, one at the top, in the center, and at the very bottom. Therion has purple, blue, and pink eyes with yellow irises and they are wearing black gloves with hot pink accents. They're wearing a black crop top with a diamond cut in the chest; a light blue choker with a star pendant; a purple and blue puffy jacket with yellow accents on the cuffs and very end of the jacket; and hot pink shorts with a black belt that has a star at the center. At the tip of their fox ears they wear different piercings, on one side a star shaped piercing, and the other a golden ring to match their tail rings. The floof sticking out from their ears is a vibrant yellow. The background is filled with stars, and the sky is dark blue fading into purple. There are colorful cartoonish stars scattered along the background as well.

Therion is an original character belonging to DL, and this was illustrated as part of Art Fight 2025.

Digital art of Cafe's PNGTuber design. They're floating among the water filled with fish and bubbles, with a smile on their face. Their pink hair is fastened into two space buns with some of their bangs framing the side of their face. They have pink aquatic elf-like ears, and a pink tail with a drop at the end. Cafe is wearing a loose grey v-neck long sleeve shirt with a grey shirt underneath, and they are wearing a necklace with two triangular shaped golden pendants. They are also wearing black leggings.

(Also I know you said non-medication but I still wanted to mention it since you aren't actually taking the medication in this case, you're just putting it on your skin.)

Manifesting regardless that the symptoms ease and you find a good way to balance all the conflicting medical struggles. 💚

No idea if this will help at all but wanted to mention it on the off chance it might. Putting milk of magnesia on the skin, letting it dry, then trying compression with it.

My PT suggested it for the reaction I have to adhesive in bandages because it creates a barrier. So could be worth it.

If anyone has any non-medication tips for dealing with pressure urticaria while also living in a hypermobile body that benefits from compression clothing and gear… help!

Because of course my body decided it’s a great time to have allergic responses to pressure/contact.

In case anyone else needs the reminder right now: progress is not linear and you are not failing if you have a worse day today compared to any other day. Let yourself rest in whatever way works best for you and reevaluate tomorrow. 💚

Hey if you have an optional med to help a symptom you're having and you aren't sure if you should take it, this is me telling you to take it (assuming you can take it safely). Even if you aren't sure if the symptom this time is "bad enough".

You deserve to thrive and have the best exist you can.

idc if it's "just" in your promotional artwork / mock ups / demos / whatever excuse you want to make. if you use gen ai *at all*, i will not fucking touch your work. and i'm definitely far from the only one who feels this way. stop fucking using gen ai. hire real artists or don't make things at all.

maybe don't make a game or piece of media if you can't afford to hire real artists for every single step of the process. if you have to resort to using gen ai in any way, shape, or form, then maybe you shouldn't be making anything at all.

actually, there's no maybe about it. don't do it. full stop.
