Feeling the weight of the world these days

So gross how fast the bots/scammers hop on this post too. How much of the "web" is even real people anymore? As an elder millennial I can confidently say the internet used to be a hell of a lot better before every last corner of it was deformed and squeezed for profit.
A screenshot of a New York Post health article. The headline reads: โHow long diseases like measles and the flu linger in the air โ after an infected person has left the room.โ It is written by McKenzie Beard and published February 14, 2026, at 2:09 p.m. ET, with a note showing 17 comments. Below the headline is a photo of a man in profile sitting on a couch, wearing a red shirt with a face mask pulled down under his chin. He is exhaling forcefully, and a visible cloud of fine droplets or aerosol particles is shown spreading through the air in front of him, illustrating airborne transmission. A caption beneath the image states that tiny droplets and aerosols can hang in the air and build up indoors even after an infected person leaves.

Really missing everyone @ facebook right now. (18-year-old account randomly suspended with no reason given over 2 weeks ago now.. no hint of anyone tending to my appeal) .. will there ever be a decent alternative? I like bluesky, but it's more like twitter. Need groups, long posts, more privacy etc.
Anyone want to share any good starter packs for art enthusiasts?
Another quick sketch, playing with cute storybook illustration style.
A very quick sketch from a while ago now. Just playing with a concept of a rocket landed/broken down on some jungle planet and taken over by it.
A memo leaked to the Associated Press reveals that the White House has told the U.S. CDC to stop working with the WHO immediately.
This breaks protocol which requires the approval of Congress and a one-year notice to leave the WHO.

Bradford resident Darren Parkinson shares his long Covid journey in a Guardian video. Diagnosed over three years ago, his condition worsened in 2023, leaving him debilitated by severe fatigue and mostly housebound. Once an avid cyclist and community nurse, Darren now relies on family support for basic tasks. He was dismissed from his job and stepped down as a town councillor. Darren advocates for urgent government-funded research to address long Covid, a condition affecting millions without effective treatment.
