Despite being one of the most talked-about events from history, I still don't think we talk about WWII enough. I think it's partly because it's hard for us to conceptualize the amount of violence and destruction, and I think, as suggested by the essay, it was partly a trauma response. The general population didn't want to talk about it after it was over, they wanted to move on. Now I think people either don't believe things were that bad (because the mindset is "if things were that bad, wouldn't we be talking about them more?"), or they don't want to grapple with what the end result of letting fascism and authoritarianism (and Jew hatred) run rampant actually looked like. But forgetting does two things: makes it easier to bring the world closer to destruction by repeating mistakes of the past, and gives people a false sense of the past and present. I think it becomes more difficult to prevent things from getting to that worst case scenario endpoint if you incorrectly convince people that they're already there and there's no point in fighting.

I finally finished this felted pigeon piece!! 💚💚

The next match is one of two dragons- but they really couldn't be more different!

According to the Draconid people, Rayquaza was the first Pokémon to be able to mega evolve! And uniquely, to do so, it doesn't need a Mega Stone- only the signature move Dragon Ascent. Apparently, Rayquaza has an internal organ that can function similarly to a Mega Stone, and this means Mega Rayquaza has the unique ability among Megas to use a hold item, making it remarkably powerful. And it doesn't even need the extra power- it ties with both Mega Mewtwo as the Pokémon with the highest base stat total, with the only exception of Eternamx Eternatus. True to its base form's ability to counteract the weather effects that the other members of the Weather Trio bring, Mega Rayquaza is the only Pokémon able to counteract the primal weathers that its counterparts can call forth! To many competitive players, Mega Rayquaza is the strongest Pokémon ever, and it's not hard to understand why. But when it comes to popularity, who can say?
