Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
It is said that daffodils bloom around the 1st of March in honour of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales. St David's feast day is celebrated #March1st and coincides with the beginning of meteorological #spring

Okay I feel like this is going to come up a lot in the next 24 hours so let's just clear this up:
The Iranian supreme leader allegedly killed today is Ayatollah Khamenei.
The supreme leader who came to power in 1979 is Ayatollah Khomeini

A political prodigy who led his party at 31.
Climate minister at 35
Former pacer for Olympic marathon winner Sifan Hassan.
History of heart trouble.
A gay man, engaged to a 28 yr old Argentinian hockey player.
And now Prime Minister of the Netherlands.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
No matter the age, hunger affects everyone. Thatโs why weโre introducing WCKโs #ChefsForUkraine Baby Kitsโcreated to support the smallest members of our communities. Each kit includes cereals, proteins, and purรฉes, helping ensure babies have what they need when food access is disrupted.

Itโs like when hiring - you want people that are smart and get things done. But the worst quadrant from the businessโs perspective isnโt a โnoโ to both. The worst is the dumb but productive worker. Because they create more work for everyone else.

A little armored one / turtle rabbit in the wild
The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means โlittle armored one.โ But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means โturtle rabbit.โ
