Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

We gotta fix that.

real wizards don't support transphobes :-)

A really pokemon-coded crab. Psaumis cavipes may look unassuming from above, with it having a pretty common body plan shared by many of its Xanthidae kins, a broad and widened carapace and coloration suited for blending into gravels. However looking front on and it turns into a piece of coral rubble! The strange indentations dotting across its body and especially on the carpus of the chalae(the part that's analogous to our elbows) separate it from other Xanthid crabs or even any other crabs. This is perhaps the strangest structure I've seen on a crab.

This guy looks so cartoons

was walking along a stream and kept seeing these little flower boats go by, and i was like "how nice is it that someone took the time to make these". and then 15ish minutes layer i came by a bridge where a guy in his sixties/seventies was sitting down with a huge bucket of freshly plucked flowers and leaves making the little boats, and another guy in his twenties who was fluent in english explaining to passers by that yes it's free, yes you can take pictures, yes it's just for fun. the older guy kept telling everyone that succesfully dropping them into the stream upright and having them sail away meant good luck in the future, and i'm like 98% sure that they were folded in a way where they're *always* gonna end right side up, but that didn't stop him from clapping/cheering every time one landed right. i sat down for a bit and hung out and chatted with them for like half an hour and they were SO fucking nice that i genuinely cried a little afterwards and anyway thank u for coming to my ted talk about the restoration of my faith in humanity
