Technical Note: We originally wrote this article in Word, but then we converted it to Latex to make it look more like science.

i straight up don't know what to make of the tiny crab that is sitting at the bottom of my workplace bathroom sink.

A brief history of gnolls
3e: gnolls are vicious savage creatures, play one if you don’t mind being shafted ECL
4e: gnolls are vicious savage creatures, a gnoll PC is torn between two worlds and gets a cool encounter ability
Pathfinder: gnolls are vicious savage creatures beholden to Lamashtu, NEVER PLAYER CHARACTERS!
5e: gnolls are vicious savage creatures spawned by Yeenoghu zirself, NEVER PLAYER CHARACTERS! AND FFS YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO THINK THEY’RE HOT!

I have a suspicion that a lot of cishet men are shy and reticent about challenging gender norms because they have this internalized idea that it isn't their lane. Go for it, yo. You have the best armor rating. Tank.

Dangit I shouldn't have to de-louse a submarine!
I heard that this one time, @HTHR@cybre.space got in a fistfight with three gods at once.

It looks haunting with it’s clipped claws devoid of use and ability, grasping for something which the world forgot. It feels right, though, and you fastening a roof of leaves between the statue’s fingers. By dark, the luminescence of the forest created a dim but peaceful light, and the nocturnal sounds fill your senses. It is safe. The forest is always safe your kind. Perhaps not the long gone creatures whose buildings and statues the forest eats.

The forest at night echoes with dreams of all creatures flowing through the roots of the tall trees. Your lover and you decided to top by dusk at the runes of a statue that looks like the hand of a species you have never seen before covered in moss and vines. The hand’s claws are clipped at the tips of their digits and no fur adorns it, only flesh. it sits grasping at something long since reclaimed by the woods.

On Mastodon, posts don't go viral, they go woolly, and I think that's beautiful.

Consider: instead of getting the tail of our choice surgically or otherwise rapidly installed, it's grown in over the course of a year or two. Kinda like tits for estrogen-taking trans folk. Ever day it grows and fills in a little more. Every day, you're a little more self-actualized :)
And if you haven't heard of Things I Won't Work With, it's an (infrequently updated) blog by a research chemist on substances frightening enough that he doesn't want to be in the same lab as them. A common thread is compounds that would *really* prefer to be nitrogen gas and will energetically turn into such if given the slightest opportunity.

BTW if you enjoy rocketry history or the Things I Won't Work With blog, I highly recommend the book /Ignition!/
It's an informal history of the development of rocketry propellants. Contains explosions and a whole lot of frightening chemistry.

I think it's really cool that our current understanding of lighting physics is "we probably know the basic mechanism but there's still all kinds of weird shit we're trying to untangle."
Shoutout to that time a Gemini astronaut smuggled a corned beef sandwich aboard the flight https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/time-when-astronaut-smuggled-corned-beef-sandwich-space-180954749/
Of the many things I love about the Space Shuttle program, one of the sillier ones is that a significant part of the launch profile calls for "throttle at 104%".
Turned out the engine could safely run at higher power than expected, but the engineers kept the original scale. One abort scenario for multiple engine failure specifies throttle at 109%.
The highest-performing rocket engine ever tested burned molten lithium with cyrogenic fluorine, plus added hydrogen for some light reaction mass.
This has never been developed for actual flight, in significant part because it's terrifying.
