An anagram for Manhattan Rage that I would like us to rebrand to is Gnat Math Arena. The team shall be called Gnat Math and we shall play hockey in an Arena. Everyone always thinks about kids learning math, but no one thinks about the gnats. We want to fill the gaping void in society. Everyone loves a bug mascot, and we can always ease people into the transition by making the gnat hang out with our current bull mascot, which makes sense and they're symbiotic and all that. We'll have community events where we give money to math teachers who can incorporate gnats into their lessons, and especially if they can pop some hockey in there too. This rebrand is really a no-brainer, and fans will LOVE our new goal horn, which is the distant sound of over 500 gnats buzzing around a rotting mango that we commissioned from the best gnat collector in Manhattan.

When Aksel was asked to sponsor and fund an animal rescue, he worked with Norwegian authorities to identify critically endangered species of fish, and after some time settled on two species of Skates. For those unfamiliar with Skates (me, prior to this CW prompt), they are related to the Ray family, but have long pointy noses and tails with thorns that are thick and fleshy rather than the Ray's whip-like and sometimes poisonous tail. The Storskate (BIG skate, and boy these guys are big) and Nebbskate (beak skate) are critically endangered species according to Artsdatabanken's 2021 list. Both animals live about 200 meters deep in salt water environments, and Aksel is working with experts to develop population growth plans that involve natural environments. Since not a lot is known about these Skates, there's a lot of opportunity for research also, so some Universities would like to be involved as well. The effort is being dubbed Fisker med Fiske, and Aksel is very optimistic about the project, and happy to have something to work on during the offseason.

When I was a kid I wanted a job that would take me all over the world. I've been working the same job for 3 years now and I really want to leave the area and move somewhere new. It would be lovely if I could get a job overseas, but I really don't know where to start. Sometimes when I'm really sad I'll open up the WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities for Organic Farming) site and see what the options are. My favorite right now is this horse farm in the Icelandic country. https://wwoofindependents.org/user/430115 I think it would be lovely to just have a farm with a lot of animals and you spend most of the day outside and best of all, it's not here. I worked on an organic farm in Japan a while back as a study abroad and loved it, even though the pigs were terrifying.
It's not exactly practical, with my loan debt and the fact that WWOOF jobs aren't paid, but I think it would be nice.
