Doodled some human versions of the mane 6. Not incredibly unique as far as mane 6 designs go, but I think they're alright

Almost To Their Goal!!!

Hello everyone, Mohammed reached out to me and after talking for a little while he asked if I could make a post for his fundraiser on his behalf.

Mohammed and his wife Enas are parents to four young children, and all of them are trapped in Gaza. Their children are named Layan, Sara, Adam, and Amir. They desperately want to escape and need your help, either through sharing their fundraiser or donating, and are so very close to reaching their current goal!

They are verified by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi and are listed as #174 on the Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundraiser List

They are currently at €64,610 / €70,000, that's 92% of the way to their goal! If enough people share this post and donate then that number could be reached in a matter of hours.

You can check out their fundraiser here and read more about their story here

Avian flu in North America: What we know as of Nov 16, 2024.

This post will have a west coast USA focus as that is where I live and currently a hotspot. Canadians are welcome to add on if they know more about their government response.

H5N1 is zoonotic. We do not know to what extent fully, but dairy cattle can carry it asymptomatically and pass it through their milk. The virus is killed by pasteurization (which you can do at home!). Do not drink raw milk right now (or ever maybe, but that’s another can of worms).

Cats can also get avian flu. It can be lethal to them. Source: https://www.woah.org/app/uploads/2023/07/qa-avian-influenza-in-cats.pdf

A teen in British Columbia is currently infected and in critical condition. We do not know the source of the infection. Source: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/canadas-national-lab-confirms-h5n1-hospitalized-teen

Oregon just had its first confirmed human case. Source: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4993916-cdc-detects-first-human-bird-flu-case-in-oregon/amp/

Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle just had an avian flu death of a not-on-display bird and is locking down all birds. Source: https://blog.zoo.org/2024/11/confirmed-avian-flu-case-at-woodland.html?m=1

H5N1 is being monitored in wastewater and is notably detected throughout California. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/wwd-h5.html

CURRENT BEST PRACTICES FOR SAFETY:

As previously mentioned, do not consume raw dairy products.

It is believed to be airborne. Mask up - Covid and Avian Flu are threats still!

Wash hands before and after interactions with any birds.

Bring cats indoors.

If you have birds, do not allow people who have been in the area of recent outbreaks near birds. Require all visitors to step in diluted bleach foot baths. If possible, keep birds in limited and covered areas.

Any birds moving between areas should be quarantined for several weeks with zero cross contamination between them and other birds.

Please feel free to add further info I may have missed, or as it becomes known.

Finally settled on her design i really like the colours.

E???? (she/her) is a skeleton with a curious case of amnesia. It seems she lost her memories due to a curse rather than any medical reason, and she can only remember the first letter of her name.
