a fun fact is that when i was younger i used to volunteer at a parade they hold at the f1 pit building so i've been pretty much everywhere because the pitlane and the garages and the grandstands at the pit straight are permanent structures (while the rest of the track infrastructure is set up just for the race). i spent a lot of time in where they set up the garages and walked the whole pitlane before which in hindsight now is super cool

Success in Singapore

Singapore's development is a remarkable story of transformation from a small, resource-poor island to a global economic powerhouse. After gaining independence in 1965, Singapore faced significant challenges, including high unemployment, housing shortages, and limited natural resources. Under the leadership of its first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore pursued a strategy focused on economic modernization, industrialization, and attracting foreign investment.

The government invested heavily in education, infrastructure, and public housing, which laid the foundation for rapid economic growth. Over the decades, Singapore diversified its economy, becoming a leading global financial center, a hub for technology and innovation, and one of the world's busiest ports. Its emphasis on good governance, social stability, and a meritocratic society has made Singapore one of the most prosperous and well-managed countries in the world.

favourite colour: literally all of them! especially warm colors, i've been especially fond of orange lately

For the WIP Game: hunter/hunted (potc)

certainly!! premise is explained a bit here. i was hesitating starting this because the logistics are so wonky — after DMC, elizabeth somehow gets to singapore halfway across the world without a ship, then they sail far south enough to reach ice bergs, then they're back in the caribbean, and we're supposed to think this is over days/weeks rather than months.

it's fun in some ways (the miscommunication that comes inherently with a historical setting can be delicious) but it's incredibly annoying when you're trying to write a Fanned Fiction about two people kissing that is both realistic and fun to read. i'm mostly ignoring it and compressing time and space, but for my own sanity, here is my workaround:

In Panama, Beckett’s adjutant Mercer directs him to Singapore, the last known stronghold of the Brethren Court of pirates. An uncommissioned ship was chartered out of Tortuga to make the voyage, and Mercer has reason to believe that Elizabeth Swann is aboard, seeking the court’s aid. Everything Norrington knows about the Brethren Court is shrouded in rumor, by the pirates’ design. Every pirate claimed to be a pirate lord at some point in their career, and it mattered not to the hangman whether they were a governor of a legislative body that did not exist to outsiders.  He mentions this to Mercer, who scoffs and turns aside. “Open your eyes. It would not concern Lord Beckett if it were not real,” Mercer says sharply. “Find Miss Swann. And find what you can about the court. Don’t dally; you’re already behind.”

I finally found you!! The aquarium/plant store I go to sometimes had this one begonia burkillii dark form just. sitting there. Bought it immediately!!

I've always had problems keeping burkillii alive so I'm gonna be watching this guy like a hawk. I only have the silver form in early stages of propagation now...I killed 2 of them so far and also 1 of the regular forms.

Burkillii is one of the begos that got me super interested in the genus, second one being curtisii! Someday I'll have all 3 forms growing well for me just wait.
