Symph!

i can't stop thinking about him

(textless under the cut)

hypothetically speaking, if we could produce nuclear fusion on a commercial scale it would provide us with totally clean and practically unlimited energy. no radiation, no pollution, just energy. fusion is actually the process that powers the sun itself, so scientists have been attempting to recreate fusion for decades because it's essentially the 'holy grail' of clean energy sources.

up until now, while we've technically been able to recreate fusion, it has always taken more energy to actually make fusion occur compared to the energy the reaction puts out. but now we've finally had a reaction happen where it produced more energy than it cost. meaning that nuclear fusion is going to be seen as a fully viable and possible energy resource, so more funding will be put into it to try and improve the process. we're still decades away from potentially using it as an energy source, but this is a HUGE step towards unlimited energy with no environmental repercussions

here's an article on it!

Things to avoid in general because they are offensive and/or mock black culture:

Sassy (NO YOU DO NOT HAVE A SASSY BLACK WOMAN LIVING INSIDE OF YOU.  STOP.  LOOKIN AT YOU WHITE GAY COMMUNITY).

Do not call black hair kinky or nappy. (Don’t touch it either).

Do not call things ghetto. Just don’t.

Don’t use the word thug in relation to black men.

Do not assume black people are ignorant just because they don’t speak the same dialect of English as you do.

Don’t make fun of black names.

This law would require people who medically transitioned to keep their birth certificate ‘sex’ graph unaltered, while they can change it in their passport and some other documents

Which means that if trans person with changed documents who is also a citizen of Russia were to marry here or have their already existing marriage admitted by law they wouldn’t be able to do neither: because, judging by their birth certificate or passport, this marriage would be between two same-sex people

Having your old gender marker unchanged in birth certificate is incredibly dangerous, because it automatically outs you as a trans person, especially when hospital or any other medical establishment needs your ID. And a line of other unrelated to health care state establishments
