Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.
Travel deep enough into the woodland, and you may stumble upon the mistlefoot. While usually good natured creatures, the mistlefoot are extremely protection of the trees they live with. A hostile intruder will find themselves pelted by glue-like berries and toxic clouds of pollen.
Despite protecting trees from outside harm, the mistlefoot themselves are parasitic and suck nutrients out of the trees they say they love. Mistlefoot view their parasitism as more peaceful then predation, as they never need to kill their food source.
When nourishment and shelter is not a concern, mistlefoot fill their days with music, romance, and mischief.
The EU is doing a big survey for LGBTQ people who live in the EU about how it is for them right now. That’s the kind of survey that’s used for official reports and for laws so it’s super important that it has as many people taking it as possible. You can take it in every EU language. (You can change the language in the top right corner) Share it with your friends!
