Touching this bird can result in numbness & tingling in extremities. Eating it can result in paralysis or death ☠️.

Let's talk about neurotoxic birds 🐦.

A bird with black head and wings but red-orange body is slightly annoyed to be touched by a human hand, beak semi-open in protest, as if about to complain. In the background is a lush forest scene.

#DESTINYTOBER25: Harbinger

I had no ideas for this one, so here's the first boss of Last Wish! Somebody told me at one point that this "ontological weapon" she summons is called a Harbinger. I have no idea if that's true or not.

An illustration from Starfinder; Warframe: Operation: Orias. Arthur and Aoi from Warframe 1999 are fighting back to back against a group of Corpus Crewmen that is surrounding them in an installation that has turned to wreckage. Arthur is wielding his exalted sword while leaning forward and gritting his teeth, making a crewman fall against the snow of Venus. Aoi is using her magnetic powers full of determination in an intense bright green blast defeating another crewmen, whose helmet is getting thrown into the air. The trail of her powers is also changin the trajectory of a bullet than an Eximus is aiming at Arthur, making it describe a curve around her waist and move it towards the unit aiming at Arthur from the left side. A ship is flying over the sunset above them as a drone stays close and trying to shoot at both without avail due to Aoi's powers.

An illustration of Flare and Lizzie from Warframe 1999. Flare is using their first ability, spreading one leg towards the camera and winking an eye with a soft smile while Lizzie casts an equalizer around Flare that displays a little heart in front of their left shoulder pad.
They're performing in an scenario with fire casting light from both sides. Different pride flags are hanging on the upper half of the screen behind them. From left to right: lesbian flag, bisexual flag, transgender flag, gay flag, and the progressive pride flag.

A comic page featuring a Garuda frame from the game Warframe. She is crouching in a dim corridor of the Zariman ship. Her talons are spreading over the page, dividing the lower half in three panels. The first one shows a dead Corpus laying against a wall. The second one shows a room filled with Grineer corpses. The third panel shows an Albrecht Entrati statue with blood splats.

An illustration of Valeria giving a hobgoblin a smooch. She's wearing a black dress with long sleeves and open back showing her pale skin and part of her prosthetic. She is gently holding the hobgoblin while it stands with a glowing pink optic displaying a heart. There is some rain falling over them.

Meinrad-3 and Nimbus are on an adventure! Also, Kimura doesn't like it when the Guardians go in the Vex network.

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 3d

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 3d

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

Kimura worked for Clovis... he's not impressed with Maya Sundaresh taking after him 🤣

It's spooky season, and the Hive from #Destiny2 check all the boxes. Here's my small contribution to the fandom, and I need to redraw Oryx again. But in a more traditional art fashion. #digitalart #oryxthetakenking

#DESTINYTOBER25: Time Travel

Lodi regrets thinking it would be helpful to meet others who fell through time. Kimura and Elsie Bray were coworkers in the Golden Age, and they don't get along. At all.

We have the cleanest hands & air in human history—yet we’re letting one of the most preventable diseases return.

Hygiene didn’t fail. Science didn’t fail.

We failed public health by letting ideology override evidence.

#DESTINYTOBER25: Upgrade

Kimura's data-state in the Vex network needs one, according to @scribbleboxfox.bsky.social's Relay! Why bother rendering clothes? It's a data-state... It doesn't feel temperature, or reproduce...

Relay: "You can appear as anything you want here- and you choose your naked body from your original iteration of reality, with the interesting bits removed? Dude- your data-state needs an upgrade."

Kimura: "..."

Don't try to save money by buying subpar PPE. You'd be outraged if a corporation did that to its employees. Don't turn around and do it to yourself.

It’s a matter of risk management. The tear gas will be annoying but eye damage could be permanent. See:

Awwwww! Everybody, look at this awesome drawing Taurus did of our characters!! 💖🔥 One of the best raid newbies I've picked up. Always volunteers to learn a new mechanic, and never gets frustrated!

Kimura can interact with the Vex network. He gets to cheat on measuring elementary particles 😆
