Yeah they work great, same as good quality masks. One of the best that you can get is getting four 20x20x2 MERV11/MERV13 filters and taping them in a box with a 20" box fan on top, drawing the air through the filters. The clean air delivery rate of such filter boxes is crazy good

Have a cat
A picture of a tuxedo cat named Frank curled up in the empty box of an ASUS RY-AZ1800S Router. He is looking at the camera and is very cute, which disguises his penchant for mischief

Karl Marx's face is over Jim Halpert from the office next to a Bloomberg tweet that says "Why don't workers get the full benefits of rising productivity? No one has good answers" Below this is Karl Marx staring into the camera, as if to say "I already answered this over 100 years ago"

My friend Ahmed had his house destroyed today, even with the ceasefire about to be implemented. If you can, please donate to him directly here www.paypal.com/paypalme/Ahm...

I have shared a picture of his destroyed house below with his permission #MutualAid #HelpSky #Boost #FreePalestine

Idk if team YouTube is on here, but those fuckers took a huge swing-and-a-miss with this new video opening behavior on the mobile app. The screenshot below is what I see whenever I start a video not from auto play, and you have to swipe back, not up or down, to get the normal view back

MAD chapter 15 was CRAZY GOOOOOD Y'ALL!! If you like well choreographed action scenes then this shit was a treat for you. The author loves to play around with panel layouts so much it really fascinates me. Putting black bars at the top of a double spread for impact is an inspired move imo

Done with work but still chained to the desk
A tuxedo cat sitting in a shirtless man's lap. The cat is in the middle of grooming himself and has a mustache. The man has a hairy belly and is wearing brown pants with zippered pockets. There is a desk in the background along with terrible cable management and a subwoofer on the floor

An image showing the colors used by default by Seurat, a tool used for single-cell geonomics, as viewed by the average person on top, and as viewed by someone with colorblindness below. The top view is colorful and easy to follow with 16 fully individual colors, and the bottom view is near incomprehensible with 3 shades of 2 colors

Fellow #Dandadan manga enjoyers, I'm telling you this now if you didn't already know so you won't get said in 12 hours, but the next Mondadan is on the 9th
Screenshot of the Dandadan page from the app mangaplus. At the top is text stating the rating is teen plus. A graphic banner shows main characters Ken Takakura and Momo Ayase in stylish outfits in front of a pink and green background with a face-shot of Ken's transformed face in the green area. Below this are the name of the story and the author name Yukinobu Tatsu. Below this are the words WEEKLY, SIMULPUB, and Standard/Deluxe. These indicate that the story is published in all languages simultaneously to it's Japanese release date, which is typically a weekly schedule, and reading all chapters requires the standard or deluxe account. Below this is the crucial text that the next chapter will arrive on Monday, December 9 at 09:00 which is the local time where this screenshot was taken in the Central Time Zone

A flow chart linking structural racism and poor health outcomes. At the top of the flow chart, a large bubble with the words "STRUCTURAL RACISM" points down to two bubbles right below and one at the bottom of the page. A red bubble below and to the left of the first reads "Redlining: in tandem with other racialized spatial housing policies and practices (e.g. restrictive racial covenants, racial.zoning)." This points to the right to a bubble that says "Subsequent housing policies and practices that reverse or deepen disinvestment (urban renewal, predatory lending, gentrification). This bubble points down to the bubble at the bottom along with the top bubble. The red bubble also points to a group of four interconnected blue bubbles starting with "Individual level: Unequal opportunity for homeownership and wealth accumulation" which points down to a bubble that just has "POVERTY", and a bubble with "NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL: Disinvestment, increased racial segregation and concentrated disadvantage" that points down to a bubble with the text "PLACE-BASED RISK FACTORS: e.g air pollution, healthy food access." The bubbles for Poverty and Place-Based Risk Factors cyclically feed into each other, and the entire group points down to a bubble with the text "Individual-Level Moderators: e.g. psychological stress, coping behaviors." This bubble finally joins the first bubble and third bubble from before in pointing at the last bubble which contains the text "Present Day Health Outcomes: e.g. overall self-rated health, chronic conditions, maternal and infant health, injury, mental health, health behavior, preventative measures, infections disease" At the bottom of the graphic is the text "See this image and copyright in PMC Fog r. Conceptual model of the pathway from historical redlining to present-day health outcomes"

This episode of Dandadan was gas, tho I kinda wish they'd shown more of the inside of the classroom when they were getting shot like in the manga. Might not have had the budget for all of the debris lol
A double page set of panels from chapter 20 of Dandadan. The top half of the page shows a classroom being obliterated by a powerful beam attack coming from what appears to be the Loch Ness Monster. The next panel in the lower right shows the beam ending, then the monster out in the hall from the view of the destroyed classroom. The next three panels on the lower right shows the monster slowly leaving down the hallway, a large gash of destroyed walls to the left of it

Poster for the remake of the Cat's Eye anime. The top has the title of the show written in a pleasing, stylized font with a small cat head in the middle of the two words. From and center are three silhouetted women posing on a rooftop, with a gigantic, bright yellow moon in the background. At the bottom of the poster is information regarding the release date and platform for the show, Disney+

MAD chapter 13 was KILLER, continues to have those delightfully Fujimoto-esque cinematic panels and framing, very sparse dialogue and sound effects again which somehow just conjures more in my head, and what a stellar panel to end on! Tagged for spoilers
The MC of the biweekly manga MAD in his transformation to a humanoid-alien after enduring the gruelling process of slowly turning into one. The figure is striking, with dark, chitinous skin, horns, glowing eyes, claws, and a long, whip-like tail. Everything surrounding the character has been destroyed by the awesome force unleashed with his newfound strength, littering the panel with smoke and debris

It most definitely is, if just for the covers alone. Science Saru will hopefully animate all of the extras like they did for the clothing change for Momo on the train. I redacted some of the characters that haven't shown up yet to not spoil anything lol
All currently released English volumes of Dandadan, with characters/forms not yet seen in the anime redacted

Here's a picture of my chest tattoo that I recently got finished. Was about 10 years in the making as I'd moved away from when my artist is, but I was able to take a trip to him and get inked with him masked and all. This is about 3 weeks healed
Picture of the poster shirtless, showing off a healed chest tattoo of wings around the anti-demon possession seal, one wing angelic and the other demonic, all done in the bio-mechanical tattoo style
