GOOD NEWS! A SINGLE infusion of a stem cell-based treatment, VX-880, may have CURED a small group of patients with the most SEVERE form of Type 1 Diabetes. 10 out of 12 patients have remained insulin-INDEPENDENT for OVER a year and the other two patients now need much LOWER doses of insulin. 🧪🧵⬇️

THIS IS HUGE! An HIV PrEP drug in the form of a twice-yearly subcutaneous injection has JUST been APPROVED by the FDA. Lenacapavir was 99.9% EFFECTIVE at PREVENTING HIV in clinical trials. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

It's Day 4 of Subnautica: Below Zero! It's getting cold up here. Brrr! #furrylive www.twitch.tv/captain_koebel

Been having folks ask me whether or not I enjoy certain hobbies or activities, and it's always "I used to" or "I want to". But I've stopped saying "I do" or "I will". I have a problem.

"Pride Quilt 2025" Thank you all who commissioned an icon from me! I don't know if I'll continue to do the Loud & Prouds next year but after Pride month I'll reopen them for general commissions on Kofi ^^ Going to work on a new idea for next year so look out for that! #bird #birdfurry #birdart

Diving deep into Subnautica: Below Zero for the third day! Got a couple funny vehicles, a whole lot left to explore, and a whole bunch of pretty sea creatures to get to know. Come swim with me! #furrylive www.twitch.tv/chriskoebel

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

It's Wet Wednesday! Time to DIVE back into Subnautica: Below Zero! This is Day 2 of a first-time playthrough, and I'm having a blast exploring this gorgeous underwater environment, interacting with fantastic sea creatures, and making little discoveries! #furrylive www.twitch.tv/chriskoebel

Had a wonderful time at Furality. It was amazing. Got some good sleep Monday night too. Wope up this morning refreshed and ready to work! Aaaaand I got locked out 45 minutes in because they eliminated my position three weeks earlier than scheduled. Looking forward to the new job.

This is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard!! 😍

Sometimes you don't realize how much you're hurting until you're healing Thank you all so much for letting me be part of this beautiful community. You saved my life. 💖

I didn't really meet very many people at Furality. And that's okay. There were a few people I traded friend requests with that I would enjoy seeing again. But for the most part I spent it reinforcing existing bonds. I did get over my nerves about public karaoke though.

I'm enjoying Furality, though I can only do a bit of VR at a time. Gotta keep those introvert batteries charged! Even if I'm doing it at my own pace, it's still really nice. Instances with dozens of people are really hard on my system though.

For the upcoming Wet Wednesdays, I'm playing Subnautica: Below Zero! I loved the first game so much. The exploration was exquisite. I loved getting to know all the gorgeous plants and cool animals. I can't wait to dive into this world! #furrylive www.twitch.tv/chriskoebel

Despite getting permission to use the women’s restroom at a bar in South Carolina, Luca Strobel, a trans man, was spied on in the bathroom stall, called anti-trans slurs, and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct — even though he was sober and did not resist police.

Coming to understand that the reason my whole team was let go, and why my job was gradually phased out over six months, is due to generative AI, really puts things in perspective. And I find myself thinking this next job should just be thought of as a stepping stone while I study new skills.

It's time for another puzzle adventure! Tonight I'm diving into Cocoon, a game about orbs and pondering them. #furrylive www.twitch.tv/chriskoebel

The company I work with announced its intention to become an AI-First company. Cool. Yeah. Alright. So my last day is Friday the 27th,

It's Wet Wednesday, and time for some aquatic gaming! It's Day 6 of Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future. Could tonight be the final night? Can Ecco save the world? Let's find out! #furrylive www.twitch.tv/chriskoebel
