Not a show but I plan to rewatch the first Zootopia film after, erm... pretty much a decade and then right after, its sequel.
Cinematic masterpieces by the way.

I have a brief presentation with accompanying slideshow I'd like to make to the Ziu, as well, if that's okay.

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on February 06, 2026, 10:42:40 AMI personally support this legislation and will vote for it. Can't speak for all Green Party MCs but if there is internal debate on the legislation I will speak in support.

Reiterating my support for this. Hope it will go forward soon.

I make a lot of Japanese and Korean food, and I'm trying to learn to cook Indian.  My family is vegetarian, and in my experience those cuisines are some of the easiest and most flavorful to cook without meat.

I'm curious on what other Talossans are watching right now. For me I'm currently watching Naruto. Not that far but I enjoy it a lot!

Whereas, the Kingdom of Talossa, as a nation situated on unceded Indigenous territory, recognizes that the historical experience of colonialism has had profound and lasting impacts on societies, cultures, and systems of knowledge across the world, and

Whereas, scholars and thinkers have identified the continuing effects of coloniality, meaning the persistence of structures of power, hierarchy, and cultural dominance rooted in the colonial era even after the formal end of colonial rule, and

Whereas, the concept of the coloniality of power, as described by sociologist Aníbal Quijano, explains how patterns of socioeconomic classification and cultural authority established during colonial rule continue to shape global institutions and social relations, and

Whereas, decolonial thought also highlights the coloniality of knowledge, whereby certain intellectual traditions, particularly those developed in Europe and the West, have historically been treated as universal, or otherwise privileged, while other systems of knowledge have been marginalized or disregarded, and

Whereas, the intellectual movement known as Decoloniality seeks to critically examine these inherited hierarchies and promote recognition of the diverse ways of knowing, being, and understanding the world that exist across human societies, and

Whereas, engagement with decolonial perspectives encourages societies to reflect on historical legacies, expand intellectual pluralism, and promote greater respect for cultural diversity.

Therefore, be it the Sense of the Ziu of the Kingdom of Talossa, that:

It affirms the value of ongoing global conversations concerning decoloniality and the examination of the enduring legacies of colonial structures, and

That the Ziu supports the recognition of a plurality of cultural traditions, intellectual frameworks, and historical experiences as part of the shared heritage of humanity, and

That the Ziu encourages Talossans and the international community to approach these discussions in a spirit of curiosity, humility, and respect for diverse perspectives, and

That the Kingdom of Talossa expresses its support for scholarship, dialogue, and cooperation aimed at addressing the historical and contemporary impacts of colonialism while promoting mutual understanding among cultures.

I've had a little less time recently, but I have been able to make some more structural updates. at this point, it's clear that the new immigration infrastructure is working well, with essentially no major problems since it was put into place. I've transitioned it to a new account. I've also moved over all of our records for Infoteca, and I spent some time updating how that information is presented. Our data portal now has a natural language summary at the top that is automatically updated, several prettier charts, and overall just a better presentation. I also took the time to add in any additional data we had from the past, and to put everything together in one organized spreadsheet. I am going to get together some notes and documentation as well, so that anyone who needs to fix things in the future will be able to find exactly what has gone wrong and understand how all the parts work together.

I know this stuff isn't glamorous and there's not much that's changed on the front end for most people, but I'm trying to keep things updated so everyone is aware of what's been happening.

As always, suggestions or error reports would be very welcome! If you think of other information it'd be valuable for people to have, please let us know! It has to be fairly easy to keep updated, though I've tried to make it a rule then it should take no more than 5 minutes a month to keep everything completely updated, that way there's never any excuse for ignoring that task.

The Abbavilla Digest notes that, so far, the URL Convention has seen participation from just two people. Which was the same number of members the PdR apparently had pre-merger... We look forward to publishing a story about the URL's convention but earnestly hope it becomes more than a conversation between its two leaders.
