Silver Haired Bat, Via

...Made all the more heart-wrenching by how borderline hopeless the future of chiroptera is. Between significant heat events frying megabat/flying fox camps in Australia, white nose syndrome wiping out significant numbers of (certain species of) cave-dwelling bats in North America, and wind farms killing thousands of bats (hundreds of thousands in regards to a certain species; Aeorestes cinereus) per year, a cull that could be drastically - and readily - reduced in mortality if certain protocols were implemented. (Unfortunately, it seems that the hoaries of the American supercontinent are doomed to be sacrificed to the dollar by the wind-energy sector.)

Eyes full of hope, yet little of that remains in the world. And not just for these lil'fluffy nuggets.

...Ideas... But on the other hand... why? Because fun, of course! Additional fun!

Behold, my homemade d20 with pips! Takes a while to count up the higher numbers.

UPDATE: they made some changes to their setup

this is so fucking funny

By the way, I saw in the news today that thousands of mail-in ballots in Nevada can't yet be certified because the signature on the envelope doesn't match the name on the voter registration. They suggested that this could be attributed to young people not being used to signing their name.

So if you're a young person in a swing state who voted by mail, it'd be a good idea to check that there isn't a problem with your ballot. They official said they'll be contacting all of the voters in question, but you could be proactive in making sure.
