Free Plotbunny to a loving home:

Jadzia Dax runs a care facility for very young children on the station… who are Kira, Julian, Miles, Keiko, Sisko (pick one) Quark, Rom, Garak and possibly Morn.

Then one day, as she’s taking stock of the arts cupboard [Kira regularly breaks in] the bell rings. Someone new is coming to ‘class’.

It’s a bucket. Almost full of orange goo. Plastered on the side is a post-it that reads, “Free to a loving home”.

Just as she’s about to tip it out, the goo pours itself into the form of a small, doll-like child.

“I suppose you’re my 'mother’ now…”

Last Person To Get Smallpox Dedicated His Life To Ending Polio

So far, the human race has eliminated just one disease in history: smallpox. But it’s on the cusp of adding a second virus — polio — to that list.

One special man in Somalia was at the battlefront of both eradication efforts. He died unexpectedly last week at age 59 of a sudden illness.

Ali Maow Maalin was the last member of the general public to catch smallpox — worldwide. And he

Challenge #00209: Reve-olutionary

When Julie dreams.

“Good morning, Miss Shayde!’

Shayde turned. The only person who could get away with ‘miss'ing her was skipping along with a peculiar little box in her hands and, as always, Nanny in tow.

"Good morning, Julie,” she said, tagging along because it was way more interesting than grocery shopping. “What’s in the wee box?”

Julie blushed and giggled. “It isn’t wee, it’s dreams.”

Dreams?

Dear people who have nothing better to do than put hate in other folks' inboxes:

There is a “block” button on tumblr for a reason.

If someone is saying something you don’t like on tumblr, you can block them. Of course, they can go on saying whatever they damn well please [which, as I understand, is a constitutional right in the USA where most tumblrites are] but the bonus is - if you block them, you never see it,

You can even attempt to report them for harassment.

That is, if you think

Challenge #00208: Creative Outlet

Scott, inspired by crying while watching Sara at the harp, tries to apply himself to a creative endeavor to become, one day, even a tenth as proficiently expressive as she was. Mr. Adrien interrupts with a few pertinent questions.

There was a reason why arts were not so well funded as, say, sports. Or the sciences. They could be tested and quantified and finally summed up by a number. Which meant that people could compare scores.

Art… was subjective. As Sara

Plain cigarette packaging works: study

Plain packaging on tobacco products is associated with lower smoking appeal, greater support for the policy and a higher urgency to quit among adult smokers, a new study has found.

The study, conducted by Victorian researchers and published in the journal BMJ Open, is the first to examine how plain packaging affects smokers thoughts in practice following the roll-out of plain packaging laws in Australia in late 2012. Previous studies have only looked at simulated plain

Challenge #00205: Letter and Spirit of the Law

I found a line worthy of one of yours in a fanfic, and just had to submit it.

“That’s one of the most… creative interpretations of regulations I’ve heard since one of my old chief engineers got caught with a feather boa, a hog-monkey, and six dancing girls.”
