Teach Malagasy schoolchildren in the Malagasy language. The fact that this is controversial shows that decolonization remains unfinished.

Gullible rich people doing conspicuously destructive things to impress their rich friends because they can? See? Madagascar isn't so exotic after all.

Our backyard gate handle. Hey, stupid, could you have picked a better place to ensure that you would be harassed?
