ATTENTION

If you care about trans youth at all please read this

Right now there’s a petition going on titled “Save 6-Year-Old James From Chemical Castration”. Luna, the youth in question, has faced emotional abuse from her father (cutting her hair, refusing to call her by her pronouns, etc.) Jeffrey so her mother, Anne, took him to court to defend her daughter and won the case (note that the case file listed on its website mentions nothing about supposed ‘chemical castration’, it only mentions that the mother is trying to help her daughter by getting her a psychologist). Here’s an excerpt from the case file:

I don’t know what the dad is trying to achieve with this other than form a smear campaign against Luna and her mother and spread transphobia but if you can I highly recommend you report this petition before this man does any more damage.

Thank you for your time.

EDIT:  Apparently they’re trying to make money off this too so thats fun ig

According to cutestat their website’s domain name seems to be registered by GoDaddy and they seem to be running on Wordpress, perhaps it would help to alert them about this too.

Scientist's accidental discovery makes coral grow 40x faster

There might be hope for our oceans, thanks to one clumsy moment in a coral tank.

It typically takes coral 25 to 75 years to reach sexual maturity. With a new coral fragmentation method, it takes just 3.

Careful the pesos might try to invade.

Controversial opinion, but ur allowed to like things that suck

Like, sometimes there are just shows or books that are so goddamn awful for any number of reasons… But ya still like ‘em somehow, and that’s fine

It’s not required to write a 20+ page essay defending why you enjoy something shitty, you can just… Enjoy shitty things

Not all content is made equally and you’re allowed to like things that are far from perfect

Like, just, “This show sucks, but I like it anyway” is a totally valid response

must try

This could be a real funny game

Rules:

roll 2 dice.

make a rectangle with the sides generated

The rectangle must be connected to your existing territory.

The first players first rectangle is placed in a corner. The second players first rectangle in the opposing corner.

If you cannot make the rectangle generated you skip your turn.

When all space is filled you end the game.

The one with the most territory wins.

Strategy:

Any unclaimed territory cut off from your opponents territory will eventually be yours. Like the unnumbered squares in minesweeper it is free real estate. Try to cut of an area as large as possible from your opponent to get as much of this as possible. If both players follow this strategy it’s almost entierly based on luck.

Variations:

You could also elliminate a player when they cannot place their rectangle. Then the other player get roll for as long as they can place their rectangles. This version is much more strategic.
