In either case, the options are
1) look up your vaccination records,

This is a clear and useful explanation of who might need a measles vaccine booster & why. A must-read for people born in the U.S. between 1957 and 1989 🧪 slate.com/technology/2... on @slate.bsky.social

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
