Had a quick catch up @zsllondonzoo, seeing new amphibian & reptile house. We've been collaborating for over a decade for the Lake Oku Clawed Frog πŸ‡¨πŸ‡² which are still on display and there is this lovely mural still by the east tunnel. Left thinking about future projects.

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:

Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books β€” you're afraid of thinking.
