Holy shit: Causal evidence that the Shingles vaccine prevents a significant fraction of Alzheimer's cases. So 1, vaccines are a god damned miracle get your ass vaccinated, and 2 the implication that Alzheimer's disease is a preventable byproduct of viral infection is tectonic.

Many cultures around the world have a legend of a Bon Jovi-like figure.
Germans know him as Guten Joven;
in Brazil he is Bom João

@Circlefruit it takes a bit to get Procreate. I followed a bunch of tutorials, which of course also taught me how to art. But if you don't like doing digital, it shouldn't matter. You do you. :)

Hmm. I tend to do landscapes a fair bit, and I tend to add things like the Ogopogo (the Okanagan Valley's answer to Nessie), Sasquatch, dragons, and otherworldly scenes. But... I also like doing flowers, birds, and animals. So... nature? Of some description? I've been doing this for barely a year.

@aburka @authorlevai same in Sri Lanka.

You know what? Menstrual supplies SHOULD be free in public restrooms.

I mean, come on, they don't force you to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels, which are just as important.

The existence of Willem Dafoe implies the existence of Willem Dafriend.

@Angelinelasa wooooohooooooooooooooooooooo! Congratulations! Well done!

Do a finger check today, if you have any number other than 10, maybe take tomorrow off

@AndGraceToo I was going to say this could be a problem cuz I haven't done this, but then, nope, I posted a cat painting months ago, so I'm safe.

To newcomers on Mastodon, post a cat pic on your timeline & you're in. Doesn't even have to be your cat. That's it. As far as I can tell that maybe the only requirement.

@paulknightly I love your photography. Love.

Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.

As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.

@sambeawesome it's official. I'm definitely a fan of your art.

I can't believe I got 100 followers already?! That's crazy. Thank you all SO much! I'm so humbled so many of you like what I do. I hope y'all will continue to enjoy my art 🙇‍♀️

Here's a little birdy friend to cheer you on for today! No matter what's going on, he's rooting for ya' 💙

Hi Mastodon! New artist just joining here. These are some of my latest pieces to break the ice. :)

My name is Sam, I'm a variety artist who loves many different mediums, subjects, and styles. I also love learning and teaching others how to draw. <3

Guess should do an #introduction, huh?

Well, most people think I’m a walking contradiction. I’m both serious and funny. Science-minded yet creative. Visual and verbal. Introverted yet extroverted when I connect with someone. Down-to-earth and a dreamer. Kind-hearted yet hard-edged. Really…there is a method to my madness. (I’ll let you l know when I find it). The key thing is that I love to learn and have an insatiable curiosity (which is probably why I have so many hobbies).

@ellesaurus @ivy @victor Everybody knows that *this* is Canadian money

@Circlefruit welcome! I hope you share more of your art. :)

I'm a beginner artist, also self-taught, mainly digital using Procreate on my iPad. I tried pen/pencil on paper, but I'm really shaky with poor motor control, so digital is much better for me.
