Hello new followers! My name is Rosy & I am a disabled multimedia artist & creative writer formally trained as a traditional animator at CapU! I'm an AuDHD tree hugger who can have some Opinions (sorry) & I try to advocate for wildlife, particularly wolves. I post a lot of pictures of my cats!
Keplar, my youngest cat child, a shorthaired dark blue tuxedo kitty with mischief in his heart. He lounges on his cat tree beside a sunny window and looks sleepily content. Casper, my eldest cat child, an orange and white tabby fluff, being cuddly and sweet on his favourite cat tree perch beside the sun soaked window. The sun shines through his ears, making them look extra pink. A headshot of my favourite model horse that I have customized, Juno, with dry green grass behind her. Juno is a red leopard appaloosa (brown spots cover her white body,) with heterochromia (her one eye, the visible one, is half blue.) An illustration of the main characters of my graphic novel KNIFE EDGE, Larch the grey wolf and Sedge the coyote, howling upon a grassy, oxeye daisy-flowered hill overlooking a orange sunset over distant mountains!

Tonight I happened on the trailer for Jack Black's new Anaconda movie & on behalf of snakes everywhere I'm horrified that this new film - which will undoubtedly lead to more people hating & fearing & genocidally killing snakes* without cause - exists. ☹️

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

Got an emergency call from my old boss back at Milo’s Sanctuary about a kitten with dwarfism that was suffering from severe constipation and was declining. I picked her up and I’ll be taking her down to Michele in a few days so for now- trying to make a kitten poop.

Looook!!! Churro is sun tanning properly instead of just cryptic basking! He's out in the open! And we must be developing some kind of positive relationship because when he noticed me all he did was flick his tongue once to verify his eyeballs, which I took to be rosy boa for "'sup."

HAPPINESS.❤️❤️❤️🐍
I spy in the midst of a heck tonne of sticks and leaf litter: a teensy dorsally black-striped beige snake! My phone wanted to focus on the mesh of his lid but just beyond it, nestled amongst oak and maple leaves beside a stick, behold: Churro the baby Mexican rosy boa. Another view of my tiny reptillian shoelace! Yet another view. He looks so happy!

Orange tabby fluff Casper demonstrating how healed his back paw is; today he let me hold & stroke it! 😁 He was slightly confused about why I was so fascinated by his foot, as demonstrated by his perplexed expression, but he gave no sign of being in any pain.❤️❤️❤️🐾
Casper the fluffy orange and white tabby sniffs my hand as I gently grip his left rear paw with one hand. He's confused why I am paying so much attention to it. Casper, still baffled by my handling of his back foot, fixes me with a bemused little frown before standing to put his offended paw on the side of his body furthest from me. He does not understand why I am holding his paw and he would like me to desist, please! He gives no sign of pain, only the displeasure of being weirded out by his human.

Fascinating article on tattoo + vaccine interactions.

For SOME vaccines (like covid), immune response was lower when injected into tattoos. For OTHERS, (like flu), the immune response = higher!

Different formulations of vaccines interact with tattoo ink differently 🤯

www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....
Block of text saying "During the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the general concerns of the practitioners was the influence that administering a vaccine to a tattooed individual might have on developing the antibody response against the virus (55). To date, no epidemiological studies have evaluated how the presence of a tattoo may affect the COVID-19 vaccine efficiency. In this work, we demonstrated that the presence of tattoo ink crystals, at the site of vaccine adminis- tration, can modulate the immune response in a vaccine-specific manner. We showed the negative effect that the accumulation of ink has on the expression of the spike protein and, ultimately, in the humoral immune response elicited by the vaccine. Moreover, especially with red and black inks, we observed that the response to a UV-inactivated influenza vaccine was enhanced. This suggests that tattoo-induced inflammation and the presence of ink pigment" particles at the site of tattoo injection may interact differently with various vaccine formulations, whose mechanisms of action may differ, potentially influencing antigen presentation, local inflam- mation, or innate immune activation. The alteration in the immune response to vaccines in the animals tattooed with black ink may be associated with the capacity of carbon black to interfere with the antigen-processing mechanism in lymphocytic popula- tions. Conversely, tattoo-induced local inflammation can act as an adjuvant-like stimulus, enhancing vaccine responses, similar to aluminum salts activating the NLRP3 inflammasome ( 56 , 57 ). This effect, also seen in tattoo-mediated DNA vaccination ( 58 ), may improve the efficacy of inactivated vaccines such as influ- enza vaccine.

Update on Churro (m'baby rosy boa!): today I upgraded him from a 75 watt to a 100 watt heat bulb. While I got to see him cryptic basking more since changing from a 50 to the 75, I still haven't seen him openly sun tanning. (Of course, he might just hate living in an aquarium.)

No, you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine.

The temporary side effects that you might feel after getting the vaccine are your immune system reacting to the inactive proteins from the surface of the virus.
What doctors say about one of the biggest flu shot myths
“The influenza vaccine shows the immune system what potential components of the virus it should focus its efforts on,” one expert said.
