Lev Zadov is not my real name. I expropriated it from a dead man. He wasn’t using it. It wasn’t his real name, anyway. It was his dead name. Dead names aren’t real. In real life he went by Zinkovsky. I’m not particular about my own pronouns. We’re all on the same side of the Class War. "He/him/they" works. I also respond to "yo," "soup’s on," and "freeze motherfucker!" I call other people by whatever pronouns and/or aliases that they say they want to be called by. It’s only polite.

"Bird Flu at Seal Bay Threatens Australian Sea Lions With Extinction-Level Breeding Failure
H5N1 terns confirmed at Kangaroo Island colony; same seal-to-seal pathway killed 95% in Argentina
Five infected terns found at Kangaroo Island's Seal Bay — home to roughly 5% of the global population of a species found nowhere else on Earth — have pushed Australia's endangered Australian sea lion to the edge of a catastrophe that wildlife scientists say has no known response once it begins. Federal authorities confirmed 54 cases of H5N1 bird flu in wild seabirds across mainland Australia as of 9am AEST on August 2, 2026, a figure that nearly tripled in under 24 hours — and the virus is now carrying the specific biological pathway that killed an estimated 95% of elephant seal pups along a 124-mile (200 km) stretch of Argentine coastline in 2023, with no birds required.”
