A panther chameleon in grey, painted over newspaper? on a corner wall bedecked with barbed wire in Antananarivo. Passing through the chameleon is a yellow and red stripe that’s continuous on the walls before and behind the chameleon. In front and below it sits a small trolly selling Soya Yoghurt with vitamins and calcium in French and Malagasy.

I have a new favourite piece of graffiti. Look at this lovely piece of work in the Ankatso neighbourhood of Antananarivo!

We have to get members of Congress inside these facilities to report on what’s happening. It’s essential for human rights reasons - this surely isn’t good - and it’s also good politics, because whatever they find is going to be bad enough to further tank support for immigration enforcement.

There is ZERO infrastructure in place to get the funds to people. They don't have folks processing the onboarding. They don't have the H.R. for benefits assignment. They don't have *clear channels of leadership*.

It's clown cars all the way down.

My deepest condolences. You gave her a wonderful life. 💔

THE DILDO DISTRIBUTION DELEGATION The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics.

That's a delightful article 🤣

I hope your recovery is simple and quick!

One of my favorite little puzzle games on vibes alone! Loved it 🥰

Played through all of Botany Manor in a sitting and absolutely adored it. CRIED at the end. I enjoyed the game itself, but more than that I want a house decorated like this? Botanical/Insect anatomy paintings next to landscapes next to blue and white porcelain next to yellow wallpaper? YES.

For the deep lore on Proto-Blueskexian, also known as Twitteric, may I suggest Because Internet?

Botany Manor was a delightful little puzzle game. 10/10

Scientists followed 2.7 million children born in Sweden between 1985 and 2020, about 2.8 percent of whom had been diagnosed as autistic by 2022. In early childhood, boys were much more likely to receive an autism diagnosis. But as the cohort aged, the researchers identified a “catch-up” effect—by age 20, women were almost just as likely to have received an autism diagnosis as men.

Boys are about three times more likely to be diagnosed as autistic than girls are. But a new study shows women and men are almost equally as likely to be diagnosed with autism by adulthood—suggesting younger girls may be underdiagnosed. spklr.io/6046D3D9u

We say "believe women" and "oh but his books are so important" in the same breath. "Believe women" and "that fourteen-year-old led him on, he's a genius, we need him." "Believe woman" and "we prefer the wolf."

For Sunday's @ggwshow.bsky.social show: Does every new expansion need a new class? With the Midnight Pre-patch, DHs have been given a 3rd talent spec but is this enough? Does WoW have room for more classes, or should they stick to adding more specs to pre-existing ones? What would you like to add?

Buy garden clusters to save on your Player Housing decor budget — here's what each cluster looks like Along with the surprise early release of Endeavors with the Midnight pre-patch, recent updates also brought a number of adjustments to decor placement cost

Virtual Gardeners Rejoice! Blizzard is giving us new clusters of plants which take up far fewer item budget points than if you tried to create your own jungle out of individual plants. This is what each one looks like.

Finally, I can break silence! I did a lot of creature design work for this show (collaborating, of course, with the production team) and think the animals are looking pretty good here! This was a lot of fun to work on - will be watching on Mar. 6!
