@opheliasdaisies I love this! I'm reading Catherynne M. Valente's In the Night Garden right now and I get as much joy out of the illustrations as I do out of the tale. I'm getting the same feelings from this drawing!

@boryanakis I don't know anything about genomic regions, but we have started using "safelist" and "blocklist" in my field! They seem to be fairly natural replacements for our use cases.
