I’m sharing this here, because it’s complex enough that it feels almost like a “next-gen” Facebook game that even traditional gamers would enjoy.

California has had an awfully ugly last month or so in terms of our state schools and various homophobic and racist situations that have taken place. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Over the weekend last weekend, someone vandalized the LGBT center at UC-Davis and wrote “fag” in spray paint.
