She/her. Queer. Chronically ill. Loves animals and plants. I self-pubbed fantasy novels in the 2010's; now I'm writing a cozy remake project called Our Long-Steeped Remedies.
Occasional NSFW. No genAI, TERF or Nazi shit ever.

surprised the US didn't lose its measles elimination status first--but i'm sure we are not far behind.
anyway--if you were vaccinated a longass time ago and are unsure if you're still immune, you can get that tested and/or get a fresh vaxx. i got revaxxed earlier this year to refresh immunity.

It's been nearly a year since I started writing about the Garden. To celebrate, read the very first tale of the mice and their enchanted garden in Provence.

I love that you can just casually stroll along a path and discover the homes of sea creatures that lived & strived on Earth before Saturn had its rings.
Deep time is even more intriguing (in some ways) than deep space.

These dark patches on the limestone are ancient animal (shrimp-like creatures, we think!) burrows, made when this was a muddy sea floor. It is believed that a storm washed the the animals from these burrows and filled them in with gravel or sand (in this case Crinoid segments).

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

A variety of mosses go in first to kickstart the O2 cycle, and of course the dwarf goldenberry shrubs that luminesce in 14-hour cycles (and whose vitamin C is uniquely bioavailable for most humanoid travellers). The furred dragonflies with wings like stained glass, though, those are just for her…
When terraforming an asteroid, you have a blank slate to build a tiny new world. Later, low-income orbital housing will be built here, or community homes for interplanetary travel, but first you have control. What flora and fauna do you coax to life on this rock?

“The charter will focus on improving access to hormone therapy, promoting inclusive policies in public and private institutions, and enhancing medical education so professionals are better equipped to support transgender individuals.”
This sounds like a very promising initiative from Thailand.
