“Reporting often comes with the risk of being socially ostracized, targeted, academically falling behind, and being stuck at the same university reliving your trauma. This is a systemic issue that we see happening time and time again in cases like this.”

Causey’s solution? Creating an “inter-Ivy League guaranteed transfer” program for victims of sexual assault, which she calls “similar to witness protection programs and military expedited transfers.”

    The world's largest battery-electric ferry is now in operation, breaking new ground for cleaner shipping solutions. Great to see such a bit step towards sustainable maritime transport. Kudos to Incat and Buquebus for their innovative work!

    It's "good news" because $4,000 of school lunch debt for kids is paid off. It's not about the how's or why's that had to be done. It's about what was done right now.

    By your definition, there can't be any good news until all the worlds problems are solved. That doesn't work for this community. I'm over the whole doomscrolling attitude of Lemmy.

    Perfect is the enemy of good.

    I'm usually into trying out cool emergency rations like this. I've tried insect foods like cricket-based protein powder, cricket-based chips and mealworm patties, dehydrated food, soylent, Huel, MRE's etc.

    But plastic-based really scares me. Not sure I could eat this. The idea freaks me out. I'd eat bugs before this. The process does sound pretty cool tho, so I'd like to have one. I'd at least take a bite!

    From article: “For now, the cookies have received high marks on aroma, with most participants agreeing that they would be willing to eat the cookies in resource-limited situations,” a press release said.
