Sure, 0-5 day 2 🙂

Good luck in top 8, @katyptcg.bsky.social!
Somehow I went 8-1 yesterday, only losing to Justin Newdorf (who is so nice). Insane run.

Locked in and ready to go 0-5 in day 2 😎

I made these this summer and was kind of shy about it, but here: Pokemon anti-ICE signs. Feel free to use them for whatever you want.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Ability: Trump Card Catch
Once during your turn, when you play this Pokémon from your hand onto your Bench, you may search your deck for a Supporter card and put it into your hand.
You can't use this Ability if you've already used another Ability with "Trump Card" it its name this turn.
