Horrible fact of the day: Chevron just released a new boat fuel that WILL give you cancer.

Not "might", not "could", WILL. It has a cancer ratio of 1.3:1, as in, in a group of 10 people, 10 would contract CANCER.

(Edit: apparently some articles are now saying 1.4:1, and some are saying a little under that. Either way, the consensus seems to be anywhere between a 95-100+% of contracting cancer, with some expectations of this fuel not even needing a full lifetime of exposure for you to get Cancer.)

The EPA's safety limit is 1:1,000,000 as in 1 in a million people get cancer.

The EPA approved it anyways. I am not joking. The EPA approved a boat fuel that has a near 100% chance of giving someone cancer. It has such a good chance of giving someone cancer that if you DIDN'T get cancer YOU WOULD BE AN OUTLIER.

Fuck the oil industries.

Edit: If you find this (rightfully) horrifying, have you considered industrial sabotage? /hj

This isn't something we can vote away. This isn't something the rich are gonna apologize and make a 10 minute apology video for this. They don't care if you starve or wither in hospitals or get blown up in their wars.

If you don't know where to get started:

If you already know what to do, then it's time to do it. Participate in mutual aid, raise awareness in real life as well as online, participate in or train in self defense and emergency medical training classes.

What if y/n from have you eaten? Au had eating disorders?

oou! good question!

yes! that is definitely a scenario i would like to explore in the fic when i get to it. also why i want to write the fic with multiple different Y/Ns so we can explore different experiences and relationships with food

there is a "main Y/N" who is a glutton who likes to try anything and everything. i haven't done the research for it so i can't say whether or not they have an eating disorder, but they DO have an unhealthy relationship with food as a result of being shamed for their appetite. so that, coupled with their job that emphasizes appearances and first impressions, they eat smaller meals, seemingly healthier meals, safe meals. but when they're alone at the restaurant with the DCA boys, without having to worry about who sees them or how much they eat, they're able to enjoy their food openly and honour their body's cravings.

Díaz-Canel: Cuba is experiencing an exceptional situation

The First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, stated at the conclusion of the meeting of the National Defense Council that the country is experiencing an exceptional situation, marked by two fundamental and complex events: the energy emergency and, on the other hand, the hurricane alarm phase for the eastern provinces.

Regarding the energy emergency, the president stressed that the situation stems from the unavailability of fuel, a fact exacerbated by the economic war waged by the United States government against our country. “This includes financial and energy persecution. We have not had stable fuel supplies so that the system can operate at its full capacity and with all its stability.”

This situation, Díaz-Canel stressed, caused a disconnection incident last Friday. “Immediately, work was carried out and a connection level was achieved. But another disconnection occurred yesterday and work was carried out all night and early in the morning. This morning and afternoon, when the situation seemed more favorable, a disconnection occurred again and work is being done again to seek greater stability for the system.”

He also commented that, according to experts, the worst incident that can occur in a country is the disconnection of a system, such as the one that occurred last Friday. “This is where all the professional and operational potential of the electrical energy system is at work. We have had the opportunity to be with other colleagues in the national office and you have to see the level of knowledge and precision with which the colleagues in the national load dispatch work in communication with the provinces.”

He warned that at the moment work is being done in two fundamental directions: stabilizing the system and managing to obtain fuel supplies that will allow us to work in a better situation during the next few weeks."

He also stressed that efforts are being made to obtain spare parts to gradually recover distributed generation, which has been severely affected.

Be ready for Oscar

Referring to the impact of Hurricane Oscar, the President stressed that the country's Civil Defense, as well as the Municipal and Provincial Defense Councils, have been working very seriously. 

“Due to the complexity of the situation, it has been decided to activate the entire structure of the defence councils in all provinces, because although there are five or six that could be affected by the cyclone, the rest are also affected by the energy emergency. 

It was also decided to send a group of the country's leaders to the place where the cyclone is forecast to hit. The group is headed by the Deputy Prime Minister, Inés María Chapman Waugh , and is made up of other ministers and deputy ministers from different agencies. 

This group must also prepare ideas for recovery. “You have to be prepared for a cyclone that can cross the eastern territory for more than 24 hours and depending on its course, the damage that will occur will be greater or lesser, especially in agriculture, housing and other infrastructure.”

The revolution will never tolerate this type of behavior

At another point in his speech, he highlighted the understanding and behavior of the people, emphasizing values ​​such as solidarity at the community level.

He also welcomed the handover of the staff of the national electrical energy system, which is working under great tension to achieve a stable supply of electricity to the population in the shortest possible time, he said.

In his remarks, he acknowledged Party cadres and officials, as well as other political and mass organizations that have been in the most complex places, addressing each of the situations of our population. 

“The only thing that contrasts this determination of unity of our people is that on occasions, particularly last night, a small number of people, most of them in a state of intoxication, have behaved in an indecent manner. They have tried to provoke disturbances of public order, they have tried to commit vandalism and disturb the peace of our people. This opportunity is also being taken advantage of by those who are working under the guidance given to them by the operators of the Cuban counterrevolution from abroad.”

In this regard, he confirmed that the revolution will never tolerate this type of conduct and that everyone will be prosecuted with the corresponding rigor. “There is a great capacity from the Party and other organizations to respond to the concerns of the population, as long as it is done in a decent, organized, civilized and disciplined manner.

"We will not allow anyone to act in such a way as to provoke acts of vandalism, much less disturb the peace of our people."

Headcanon: Lumine moves and fights like she's an artistic gymnast.

I think it wouldn't be far-fetched to imagine her with that body type (small stature with more muscular legs, among other things), and I think she has an innate grace in her movements, like she's always in a presentation.

Also, it would be cool, wouldn't it? Seeing Lumine dodge attacks like she's on a balance beam routine, or jump like she's doing it over a vault.
