"Uughhh…these meetings always take forever.“ Darrian groaned. "I know.” said Ferris with a strangely happy lit to his voice. “But at least the best part is coming up.” Darrian looked over quizzically at his friend. To his surprise, Ferris’s expression matched his tone and he looked genuinely excited. "I didn’t know you were such a fan of the Celestial Commission reports.“ "Really? You aren’t?” Ferris looked almost offended. “They’re great! We get to hear about all the new planets that are being considered.” "Yay? It’s a bunch of pencil pushers talking about which ones will be colonized and mined and such.“ "Yea, but who knows what they’ll find out there!” As if on cue, the old judge at the far end of the table banged his gavel several times to garner the group’s attention. "Alright, alright. Now before we start wrapping up, Cherryl, would you care to offer any new proposals to the counsel?“ Cherryl was a mousey, timid little thing a few seats away from Darrian. He saw her nervously look up at the old judge and nod a few times. Despite this, she spent a few more seconds flipping through notes and pictures on her datapad. "Um, y-yes. Well, if you all remember, a little while ago the surveys team identified a planet in the AlphaVirgo Quadrant.” One of the survey team nodded. "Right. AV32784.“ he said offhandedly flipping through his own datapad. "It was heavily aquatic, if I remember correctly. Something in the range of 70% water?” "That’s right.“ Cherryl agreed. "Wasn’t there talk of colonization?” Ferris asked excitedly. "W-well…yes…“ Cherryl trailed off, suddenly looking disconcerted by the question. "They must of found something interesting.” Ferris whispered to Darrian. Similar whispers were breaking out all around the table. "And is that proposal still on the table?“ the judge asked, ignoring the scattered gossip. "No, sir. The results from the analysis suggest…well…quarantine.” The table went dead silent. The judge looked nonplussed. "Quarantine?“ someone finally asked. "That planet is mostly water! We can’t just ignore a planet covered in water!” Cherryl was hastily looking back and forth from her datapad and making little squeaks of despair. She was clearly trying to find an answer but was caught between the panic of being put on the spot and not knowing where to even start. "I must agree.“ the judge said, having regained a bit of his composure. "Why would we avoid a planet that’s 70% water?” "It’s not drinkable.“ Another voice spoke up from the far end of the table. Harris, the lead of the analytics team, stood up. "The water is contaminated.” he continued. “At least, the majority of it. There are some pockets here and there, but I’d argue that only 5% of the water on the planet is even usable.” "Contaminated?! With what?“ "Sodium chloride.” In the center of the table, lights flickered on and the holographic imager gave birth to a beautiful green and blue planet that hovered just over the table’s surface. Harris motioned to the mostly blue sphere. "The water is so saturated that consumption is impossible. We simply can’t use it.“ "Damnit.” Groaned the guy from the survey team, clearly upset at their misstep. "While I’m sure we all agree that’s most unfortunate,“ replied the judge, "I’m not sure why that would make the planet up for quarantine.” "That’s not all.“ Harris said, seemingly enjoying the build up. "That’s right!” Cherryl nearly shouted. Harris gave her a dirty look, clearly having accepted that he simply needed to explain at this point. “There’s more problems than just the water.” "Like?“ Darrian asked, quickly becoming annoyed with the theatrics and still surprised at the fact that an entire planet’s water source could be utterly useless. "Weather, for one.” Harris replied. He tapped a few buttons and the holographic imager display boiling black clouds with bolts of energy arcing in every direction. The table erupted in frightened whispering and talking. "What the hell is that?“ "An energy storm. Coupled with heavy buffets of air currents, these storms wreak havoc across the landscape. We’ve seen them kill flora and fauna and even start fires.” "This place sounds like hell.“ Ferris whispered a little too loud. "Oh, you think that’s bad?” Harris chuckled. “How about the fact that the planet’s surface is unstable.” "What? Are we talking tectonic tremors? That kind of thing?“ "Well, yes. They’ve got those too.” "Too?!“ "This planet has MAGMA ON IT’S SURFACE!” "Wait, wait, wait.“ said the judge. "Magma, by definition, is in a planet’s core. The exception is when a planet is forming.” "I know! That’s the craziest part!“ Harris was clearly getting excited. "There are these great mountains that literally explode and spray molten rock everywhere!” "This is insanity…“ "Are you ready for the final ringer?” Harris asked, looking even more excited. "How much worse can you make this place?!“ "The planet’s atmosphere…” The occupants of the table were unconsciously leaning forward now. "Oxygen.“ The table went silent for several moments as they all considered what they’d heard. Energy storms, contaminated water, exploding mountains of molten rock, and, worst of all, an oxygen atmosphere. It was like someone had taken a nightmare and made it real. The judge was the first person to break the silence. "Fine. We get it. Oxygen atmosphere alone is enough to disqualify it for colonization. Why, then, do you feel the need to propose we quarantine this barren wasteland?” "Because it’s not barren.“ "You’re full of shit.” Someone yelled. “Nothing can live in oxygen!” "That’s the thing.“ Harris said quietly. "The planet has a full ecosystem and even a species that is playing at being space faring.” "Alright. Stop.“ The judge had clearly heard enough. "If we’re talking about a new space faring race, we need to get the Galactic Consortium involved.” There were a few accepting nods. Darrian couldn’t help but feel sick to his stomach. How anything could breath that poison and live was beyond him, and here Harris was telling them that somehow a species that breathed oxygen was becoming space faring? "We’ll schedule a secondary hearing to discuss the implications of this species.“ The judge said curtly. "Does your team have a name for them?” "Nothing official. We hadn’t even realized they were there until the analysis. But it would seem that some of the creatures call themselves ‘human’, so that’s as good a name as any to start.“ — (Hello Lovelies. Thank you again for all of your comments yesterday in the Open Discussion and I hope that you enjoyed this bit today. I personally am a huge fan of the idea of 'humans as the scary aliens’ instead of the other way around and decided to play with it. I very well might do more in the future. Have a wonderful day for now, you dirty oxygen-breathers!)

Draco Malfoy in the books

If you didn’t read the books you wouldn’t know…

Draco Malfoy personally made the Potter stinks buttons and nobody could fix them to say Harry was cool and shit, if they tried it would only make the insults worse

You wouldn’t know Draco Malfoy was always right behind Hermione in grades

You wouldn’t know Draco was seriously the most animated person at school and acted out everything.

You wouldn’t know Draco got deeply offended when people didn’t laugh at his jokes

You wouldn’t know Draco created the Weasley is our King song, tune and all. (Probably in the shower or something because he’s such a weenie)

You wouldn’t know Draco and Ron got into a fist fight in their first year

You wouldn’t know about the huge knock down drag out between Draco, Harry and the rest of the Slytherin and Gryffindor quidditch team in their fifth year. (Harry and Draco just fucking tackle each other and start whooping each others asses and it’s amazing.)

You would miss out on basically everything Draco says and does. He’s a walking gold mine and It’s upsetting the movies didn’t devote a few seconds for any of his shit (Azkaban did an okay job)

You wouldn’t know about the Weasley is our king buttons he made in fifth year either

You wouldn’t know Draco didn’t actually try and fight a Hippogriff he was just petting him and offhandedly said that he was ugly. He didn’t sprint over to him, he actually did all the bowing and what not.

If you didn’t read the books you wouldn’t know that Draco is the most annoyingly smart and artistic little shit you’ve ever heard of.

This judge had exactly the right reaction to the shameful way nonviolent prisoners are treated in US jails

A woman was denied pants or tampons after being arrested for not completing a diversion course that was part of her sentencing from a shoplifting charge. But see how the judge reacts when she finds out that the prisoner’s humiliating treatment is apparently routine.

https://www.facebook.com/TeamOfficerJenny/?fref=nf Alright everyone, with the quickly growing reach of Team Officer Jenny and the Officer Jenny Initiative, I wanted to take a moment to lay out some Do's and Dont's to keep everyone safe, players and Jennys alike. Some of this might come off as a broken record, but I want to make sure it's clear.

----

Do! Look out for your fellow players. - Whether you're simply walking through an area or sitting at a PokeStop in a park, something as simple as having another person in the area can help dissuade crime and potential bullies.

Don't! Patrol or try to play 'Police' - At the end of the day, a 'Jennys' presence is not unlike the neighborhood watch. You are simply there to be helpful IF it's needed, call the police if a crime occurs, and simply be a good citizen in your neighborhood. This never gives you the right to order, command, instruct, or attempt to wield any kind of power over your neighbors. You are an extra pair of eyes, not a pair of boots on the ground.

Do! Report Crimes and offer help IF it's required. - If you witness a crime, you should immediately contact the proper authorities so that it can be dealt with accordingly. If someone maybe trips, falls, or becomes otherwise injured, you can certainly offer yourself up to try to help them, as well! If the injury is more serious than a scrape or bruise, make sure you contact a doctor or EMT versus trying to treat it yourself.

Don't! Take the law into your own hands. - I can't stress this enough. Especially with the guffaw recently regarding firearms usage (open carry, concealed carry, etc.), unless you are an official law enforcement officer or above, DO NOT attempt to play hero. Again, the idea behind the Officer Jenny Initiative is to provide a friendly face and an extra set of eyes to keep a lookout for our neighbors and kids. We DO NOT need or want an armed militia and we discourage the usage of ANY violent means except in extreme moments of self defense. Please, unless you are trained law enforcement, let's leave the guns at home.

Do! Consider introducing yourself. - Many parents and players might be concerned if they see someone sitting quietly and watching an area. They might think you yourself are a criminal 'scoping' an area out for potential victims. Feel free to introduce yourself! Let them know who you are and why you are there and that your intent is to help prevent crime, not the other way around.

Don't! Introduce yourself as "Police" or overstay your Welcome. - You are not police. Unless you are an official law enforcement officer, you have no right to introduce yourself as such and are inviting a host of potential issues and an increased chance of being hurt or killed. If you are explaining the Officer Jenny Initiative or Team Officer Jenny, explain that it's similar to the Neighborhood Watch and is simply there to keep an eye on our neighbors in case they need help. If you are ever asked to leave, or your presence is actively making other players or individuals uncomfortable. Leave. You're there to help, not hurt or hinder or scare. And, allow me to reiterate, you are not police.

Do! Call yourself a 'Jenny', if you want a title. - I know some of you have wanted a title of solidarity. Consider calling yourself a Jenny if you would like a title. It'll be understandable to most of the players and will not be confused with actual law enforcement individuals.

Don't! Call yourself an 'Officer' - I will repeat this again. Do. Not. Call. Yourself. An. Officer. or. Police. This can create a host of issues. For one, it can create a 'holy than thou' attitude that you are somehow above your neighbors (you're not) in some fashion. It can open up an avenue for violence where a criminal might mistake who you are an attend to hurt or kill you. It can create confusion for individuals in an area who might attempt to report a crime to you. So, one more time: Do. Not. Call. Yourself. An. Officer. or. Police. Unless you are ACTUALLY law enforcement, you are begging for problems.

---

At the end of the day, the goal of the Officer Jenny Initiative is to be a helping hand in your community. A pair of eyes to look out for those who need help, an extra set of hands to help someone up, an extra voice to call the authorities if they are needed. Please, if I haven't said it enough, Don't ever play hero, Don't use violence, Leave the guns at home, and ALWAYS reach out to the proper authorities.

Everyone please stay safe out there. :)

https://www.facebook.com/TeamOfficerJenny/ Team Jenny, sometimes known as the Officer Jenny Initiative, is based around the police officer character “Officer Jenny” from the Pokemon TV show. Recently, with the release of Pokemon Go, we have seen an explosion in popularity leading to widespread usage and enjoyment that has led to a multitude of increases in physical, emotional, and social benefits for people around the world. Unfortunately, we have seen an equally fast increase in tragic events including accidents and crime relating to Pokemon Go gameplay. Team Jenny seeks to help mitigate some of this negativity. While we are by no means a law organization and WILL adhere to all posted laws of our area, our goal is to look out for our other players, particularly those who might not be able to look out for themselves. We keep an eye out for younger players, make sure to report suspicious characters who might be looking to commit a crime, and generally just try to help out our community. Anyone can be a “Jenny”. They just have to be willing to help those around them! Want to be part of Team Jenny? Simply help keep an eye out for our fellow players who might not be able to do so for themselves. This might include players young or old, or it might include individuals out to cause trouble or commit a crime. We aren’t vigilantes and we don’t take the law into our own hands, but we can certainly call the correct authorities and we can do our part to make our communities a little safer! — Last, but not least, Pokemon, Pokemon Go, and Officer Jenny are all properties of their respective owners. We do not own any of these characters but instead utilize them under the presumption of Fair Use legalities.

Haha. Just got it started yesterday. I figure it’s a good way to help support all of our fellow players and keep a look out for those who need it. :)

A Beauty and the Beast AU where Belle realizing she loves Beast isn’t at some dramatic climactic event but during some randome everyday moment. Like, she’s filing her nails and just kinda glances up at him and he’s like doing something just as dull and it just kinda dawns on her that she loves him but she doesn’t voice it cause she isn’t exactly ready to confront thoes emotions and what they mean so she goes back to filing her nails but then is starts raining glitter and Beast is defying gravity in a glowing ball of light and the castle is changing back and everyone becomes human again. Then everyone is left in silent moment of shock and confusion and Belle, being completely unaware of what it takes to break the curse, is just staring around in horror while everyone freshly humanized comes running into whatever room she and Beast were in (probably the library) expecting to see something other than human Beast in a heap on the ground and Belle across the room in a chair frozen in shock and confusion and everyone just kinda looks at each other for a couple of seconds not realy sure what to say cause nobody is entirely sure what happened other than the curse was broken. Then Beast finaly gets up and looks around and realizes what this means and looks at Belle and is just like “you love me?” And Belle is just like “wat?”

friendly reminder that: Super delegates don’t vote until the national convention which is in JULY

Also friendly reminder that: Hilary has not won yet!

third friendly reminder that: super delegates are very likely to switch who they are voting for! They haven’t voted yet, the media is 100% lying to you about the numbers.

Another super friendly reminder that: Hillary is evil and a criminal with pending charges in federal court!!!

last super friendly reminder!!: saying you are gonna vote for Hillary is giving up on Bernie! He still has the DNC & if we all write letters to delegates and protest we can 1000% win this

So apparently someone has been watching me trying to learn the piano. I was practicing and she jumped down and at first I thought she was just going to bite at my hand - (she gets possessive over MY ipad) but instead she started playing… I was like… what.. Good girl!!! We’re starting a band.
