Also to know all of the powers, could you tell what the Dragonfly, the Betta Fish, the Jellyfish, the Bison and the Crab do? And the Ferret and the Squirrel, while you did tell about them I am afraid I didn't quite understand.
The dragonfly is a second layer. The first power can change the speed of anything, and the second one changes the direction of anything.
The betta fish creates a bubble that is invisible to everyone else but the holder.
The jellyfish allows the holder to phase through anything.
The bison is a second layer. The first power creates a little earthquake, and the second turns the holder into vibrations itself. They are only able to travel through solid objects in that state and slowly destroy them while doing so.
The crab allows the holder to cut through anything perfectly.
The ferret summons a portal that leads to a pocket dimension. Basically the horse but with pocket dimensions instead.
The squirrel creates a perfect replica of an object that will malfunction.

Good News - April 22-28
Like these weekly compilations? Support me on Ko-fi! Also, if you tip me on here or Ko-fi, at the end of the month I'll send you a link to all of the articles I found but didn't use each week - almost double the content! (I'm new to taking tips on here; if it doesn't show me your username or if you have DM's turned off, please send me a screenshot of your payment)
1. Millions Of Maggots Donated To Charity In Honour Of The Maggot King
“[Blizzard Entertainment] donated millions of maggots to Tiggywinkles UK, a leading wildlife hospital, […] in honor of Duriel, the Maggot King, a notorious character in the Diablo series. […] This significant contribution is expected to feed the patients at Tiggywinkles for two years.”
2. New circuit boards can be repeatedly recycled
“A team led by researchers at the University of Washington developed a new PCB that performs on par with traditional materials and can be recycled repeatedly with negligible material loss. Researchers used a solvent that transforms a type of vitrimer—a cutting-edge class of sustainable polymers—to a jelly-like substance without damaging it, allowing the solid components to be plucked out for reuse or recycling.”
3. How a Cloned Ferret Inspired a DNA Bank for Endangered Species
“This black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) [is] the first endangered species in the U.S. to ever be successfully cloned […] from [a] cryogenically preserved cell line, obtained from a ferret named Willa, who lived in Wyoming in the 1980s. [… T]he FWS [is now] on a major project to cryogenically store tissue from every endangered species in the U.S., [… as] “an insurance policy against future loss of biodiversity in the wild.””
4. Maine Signs Trans And Abortion Sanctuary Bill Into Law, Despite Violent Threats
“[The new law] states that criminal and civil actions against providers and patients are not enforceable if the provision or access to that care occurred within Maine’s borders, asserting jurisdiction over those matters. It bars cooperation with out-of-state subpoenas and arrest warrants for gender-affirming care and abortion that happen within the state.”
5. $70M for Fish Passage Projects Address Climate Resilience, Strengthen Local Economies
“The Department of the Interior today announced more than $70 million […] that will improve fish passage around […] barriers fragmenting the nation’s rivers and streams [… as an] “investment to restore our nation’s rivers and streams, safeguard endangered fish species, protect Indigenous subsistence practices and provide communities with increased opportunities for outdoor recreation and economic growth,” said Secretary Deb Haaland.”
6. A Golden Age of Renewables Is Beginning, and California Is Leading the Way
“California—the fifth-largest economy in the world—has experienced a record-breaking string of days in which the combined generation of wind, geothermal, hydroelectric and solar electricity has exceeded demand on the main electricity grid for anywhere from 15 minutes to 9.25 hours per day.”
7. Collaborative conservation efforts keep lake sturgeon off the endangered species list
“The Service’s 12-month finding [that these sturgeon are not endangered] shows ongoing management efforts, such as fish stocking, have contributed to the conservation and resiliency of the species. “Today’s announcement shows the power of collaborative conservation and the impact it can have for species like the lake sturgeon,” said Midwest Regional Director Will Meeks.”
8. French municipalities bordering Luxembourg to offer free transport to commuters
“Luxembourg is the only country in the world to offer entirely free public transport. […S]ix French communities located near the border and many of whose residents work in Luxembourg have decided to band together and also offer a free shuttle for daily workers. […] Last year, governments in the two countries said they would work to increase train services to run every 10 minutes between Metz and Luxembourg City by 2030. There’s also a plan to extend Luxembourg City’s tram service to reach all the way to the border – a trip that would take only 30 minutes when ready.”
9. Solar is about to get a lot more affordable for low-income households
“The EPA granted 49 state and territory awards totaling $5.5 billion, six tribal awards worth more than $500 million, and five multistate awards amounting to $1 billion. Together, the awards cover all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. All of the funding is dedicated to low-income and disadvantaged households.”
10. Amsterdam will cover cost of changing one's gender on documents
“[T]he city’s residents will be able to change the gender on their birth certificate and Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) free of charge. [… T]he local government will also reimburse (part of) the costs of a new passport, identity card or driver's license.”
