Fantastic composition! Masterful pallet selection and a great balance of following and breaking rules you've set for yourself. Really enjoyable and thoughtful.

This belongs in the nursery of the coolest kid ever.

Also, I would enthusiastically visit the zoo that used your icons.

Reply to Cloud Cuckoo Land - wow by CrochetNerd_

I just looked this book up on my library's catalog. I feel like they should have put spoiler tags on one of the very surprising subject index entries:

>Interstellar travel -- Fiction.

Reply to Will The Expanse ever get the last 3 seasons to finish out the last 3 books? by MajorRichardHead7

I was sure I'd come in here and someone else would have read the same article that I did. If only I could remember where it was from...

The article made the point that the deal with SyFy only let Amazon use the show title for the last season and a movie. My understanding was the plan is movie then 'new' show for the later books.

Reply to comment by DASAdventureHunter in First female chief in Malawi, South Africa ends child marriage by messyredemptions

First: nice! Malawi is awesome. They, like lots of places, have post colonial, modernism, and urbanization problems but they are generally preserving things they do right that western countries get wrong.

>most people only have interaction with people in their tribe.

A large percentage of the population live in Lilongwe and Blantyre-Limbe. Tribes are not well delineated in those urban areas. I was just talking with some friends there about the cultural changes coming from so many children born in cross tribal marriages.

Also, I don't understand how she could be the "first" woman chief. Yao and Sena are matrilineal and tend to prefer women as chiefs. I was just in Zomba where the "Village" (or neighborhood) chiefs are women.
