Lavaloid

After setting today's LITS, I realize that the theme of the puzzle may be deeper than I first realize. I call this piece "A dog on a boat in a sea of snakes". This grotesque display is an allegory of living life in an increasingly incomprehensible world.

Rules: Shade one tetromino of cells in each region so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Two tetrominoes of the same shape may not touch orthogonally, counting rotations and reflections as the same. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.
