A electrifying Bornean Peacock-Pheasant (Polyplectron schleiermacheri)
[Endangered]

With his iridescent pale blue crest, bright orange facial skin patch, and luminous blue spots along his wings and broad fan-shaped tail, the eccentric-looking male is unmistakable if seen well.

I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.

Statue of a monstrous creature say the basic body template is a dog but the mouth has big fangs and is opened almost as big as a frogs I think the statue is made of bronze but the eyes appear to be a different material in red glass maybe I don't know and this creature also appears to have spikes or spines or something coming out of its back

Merry Christmas from Italy, everyone
A copy of a Claude Lévi-Strauss book, the Italian title of which is Babbo Natale giustiziato. The cover shows two small children wearing masks, one of whom is pointing a gun at Santa Claus, who has his hands up in fright. I’m not sure what the English translation is.

I loved this. And I want to note the whole “there were no autistic people before …” discourse has an answer here: just the people were sent away in the incarceration (yes “care homes” like this), and if they fled, they were just abandoned by society, usually to die.
