❄️ DC wasn't the only place to get snow last week! Keepers at our conservation facility in Front Royal, Virginia snapped a few photos of our animals in the snow 🌨️ Some of these species are native to hot, arid climates, so they all had access to heated barns to escape the cold.
🐾 Happy #NationalPandaDay! Last fall, Asia Trail keeper Mariel Lally gave us a glimpse into a day in the life of a red panda keeper. Meet the 'original' panda and get the fluffy scoop on how our team cares for them! ✏️STORY: https://t.co/1g57kPlwvN.
We spread a signature-change campaign, flooded social media comments with stories, and even mass-adopted “pounded” Neopets to paint them rainbow.

Heads up Neopians! We’ve heard your concerns and feedback regarding LGBTQIA+ topics being filtered on the Neoboards, and we agree it’s high time for a change. Read all about the upcoming updates here: https://t.co/jM8RWAGgrj
And to be fair it is 2020 and this is the bare minimum, but for a site that has a long history of inconsistently applied content filters, plus a large LGBT base...pretty cool.
In a strange turn of events, I’ve spent the last few days campaigning for the website @Neopets to end its blockers on innocuous LGBT content.
And, uh, we won.

If you’re interested in reading or watching Hillbilly Elegy: may I suggest not doing that, and instead spending time reading @BitterSouth’s ethnographies?
POTUS- and VPOTUS-elect fist bump instead of shaking hands or hugging. I don’t even need to contrast that with the current White House’s attitude to COVID, right?
