Kinda sucks to me that dyscalculia and dyslexia are so often lumped together.

No, dyscalculia is not "dyslexia but with numbers". They're very different, with few similarities. I really wish dyscalculia were talked about more often, so people would understand me just a little better.

Because I'm dyscalculic, I intensely struggle with multi-step tasks, get lost very easily and frequently (not just in new places, but EVERYWHERE), can't remember important numbers, can't remember anyone's birthday besides my own, take a very long time to do most math equations, can't read an analog clock, can't do any oral math, can't manage my time, can't tell what time it as at any point without a digital clock, can't understand maps or navigation, can't recognize some "simple" math terms or symbols, and I can't reliably count backwards.

And much more, but I'm not gonna sit here and list every single one of my dyscalculic traits. If you want to learn more about dyscalculia, then PLEASE research it yourself. The more people who are knowledgeable about a wide variety of disabilities, the better.

Have you seen Jimothy the raccoon. I feel like you would enjoy that guy

BOY HAVE I!! Jimothy is from my city, not too far away either! I hope to witness him some time. He makes me emotional

For those that don't know, Jimothy is a raccoon with Short Spine Syndrome. According to local wildlife specialists, he appears perfectly healthy otherwise. He's even a few years old, those bottom two images are him as a baby!!! There's a lot of video footage from locals going around so I'd definitely go look at those, seeing him in action is incredible

I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

[possessable]

it's good enrichment for The Character(s) when one of their friends gets possessed and they have to find some way to bring them back. great friendgroup bonding activity. especially if they have to do some exorcism bullshit and it's traumatizing for everyone involved and there's collapsing and sobbing afterward. great thing for The Character(s) to do. highly recommend.

Scientists Have Found Climate-Resistant Coral Reefs Around the World Totaling the Size of Wisconsin

There're about 64,000 square miles of coral reefs on Earth that could still be resisting climate change by 2050, an area the size of Wiscons

New research used an AI (note that this is a good use of AI to analyze data for research, not a LLM) to analyze over 45,000 recorded observations of coral reefs with the goal of finding locations where reefs were more likely to survive higher ocean temperatures into the future. Based on over 40 criteria, the AI model predicted at least 64,000 square miles of reef would be able to survive rising ocean temperatures into 2050 and beyond. That's about the size of Wisconsin.

Corals in these "coral refuges" had some combination of a faster rate of recovery, more heat-resistant species, and better protection from heat-related damage.

The study authors hope that their research can help guide more efficient allocation of limited coral conservation resources.

Although coral reefs face immense threat from climate change, our knowledge of coral conservation has increased by leaps and bounds in the last 20 years. Only two decades ago we couldn't breed corals in human care, now we have mobile coral labs that can breed thousands of coral in just a week. We can restore reefs faster and more successfully, and there are scientists working on breeding more heat-resistant coral lineages.

While a model is not a guarantee, this is another ray of hope that some coral reefs will naturally survive climate change despite the steep odds.
