The Amazing Underwater Forest of Lake Kaindy
What makes Lake Kaindy truly remarkable is that it contains an underwater forest. Visible on the lakes surface are the tall, dried-out tops of submerged Spruce trees that rise above the water’s surface like the masts of sunken ships. They are the only sign of the amazing frozen forest below the water’s surface.
The water is so cold (even in summer the temperature does not exceed 6 degrees) that the pine needles remain on the trees, even after a hundred years of being submerged. During the winter, the lake freezes and becomes a popular spot for ice diving.
The lake is 400 meters long and is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains, about 129 km from the city of Almaty. The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam.
Even more on Kaindy Lake…
Holy crap.

I wonder if I can solve my cannot-draw-humans problem by drawing armless humans first

Friendly remind that drifloon actually tries to take children to the underworld and the only reason it fails is because the kids end up swinging it around by the arms instead. Or, usually fails anyway…
Friendly reminder that its evolution can learn Fly and carry people.

For anyone doubting that Eurovision is serious business.
[The Russian foreign minister] said the points had been “stolen” from Russia’s Dina Garapova and “this outrageous action will not remain without a response”.

Gay men will soon be able to donate blood in Canada for the first time since 1977.
Canadian Blood Services announced today that gay men will be able to donate blood starting this summer, as long as they have not had sex with other men in five years, and meet all other requirements. This is a change from previous policy which had a lifetime ban for donation by any men who had had sex with other men.
For those wondering, the ban was first set in place because technology had not quite allowed for proper screening of blood for HIV.
What the hell Canadian Blood Services??? You can be gay but just not have sex. Well. Okay then. :| Progress is moving a millimetre at a time, I guess.

Tiiiiiny steps fdskgjasdfasdf
The question they asked was actually “have you had sex with another man even just once since 1977?” so now it will probably be “have you had sex with another man in the last five years?”
Obviously, the concept of “having sex” is the vaguest thing ever and it’s not defined anywhere so that’s impressive. (I might have written an email asking what their definition of having sex is, so there will be a follow-up!)
Most dictionaries define “having sex” as “having sexual intercourse”, and then they tend to define sexual intercourse as penis-in-vagina. I have decided to, for once, use this horribly crap heteronormative definition for gain and profit!
TWO MEN CAN’T REALLY HAVE SEX! IT’S IN THE DICTIONARY! GO FORTH AND GIVE BLOOD!
