"THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have developed a nasal COVID-19 vaccine that BLOCKS transmission of the virus. This suggests vaccines delivered directly to the nose or mouth could play a CRITICAL role in containing the spread of respiratory infections. Phase I clinical trials HAVE BEEN APPROVED!"

Link to said study:

In animal studies conducted in 2020 and 2021, the nasal vaccine entirely prevented infection from taking hold in the nose and lungs — suggesting that vaccinated individuals would be able to fend off the virus before it could multiply and cause an infection. Last year, Jacco Boon, PhD, a professor of medicine, of molecular microbiology and of pathology & immunology at WashU Medicine, showed that hamsters vaccinated with the nasal COVID-19 vaccine and subsequently infected did not pass the virus on to others, breaking the cycle of transmission.

“All effective vaccines reduce sickness and death, but COVID-19 vaccination through the nose and mouth also seems to reduce transmission,” said Curiel, also a professor of medicine and of obstetrics & gynecology.

Y'all.

I think part of why I love Chilchuk is because he is just so solidly a blue collar dude.

He got screwed over once and decided to form an entire ass labor union about it

Puts a firm value on his labor

Instinctually accepts that someone else leaving the party to take care of their finances isn’t a betrayal because the job isn’t your friendship

He is incredibly particular about his craftsmanship

And also his tools

Doesn’t like to mix work and his personal life

Cagey about how old he is because he’s in an industry we’re aging can be a liability

Warms up to Senshi once he starts seeing him as a fellow skilled tradesman

His dad drank himself to death and he still drinks heavily himself

“What? You can’t get drunk on this, it’s not strong enough.”

Fucked up his marriage because he spent too much time at work and was bad at emotional availability

Knows how to braid hair because he did it for his daughters

Has a daughter who is just mini him (and she’s the one who wears her hair in braids, my heart 🥺)

some linocuts. can't decide which ones I like better so I'll post both versions

Oops I dropped my updated drive of DnD resources that I'd NEVER put the 2024 Player's Handbook on, or any other materials.
