THE COMMENTS

They're still not working. Judi, despite being fired, has tried various things that sometimes fix the problem but so far they have not worked. She has also reached out to TypePad, which feels like appealing to the Wizard of Oz. We apologize for the fact that you cannot comment. If you feel your comments backing up internally, you could try relieving the pressure by speaking directly to another human, although we do not advise this.

...ecologists at Mexico’s National Autonomous University are giving the public the chance to virtually adopt an axolotl. For $30, $180 or $360, donors can choose the sex, age and name of the little buddy they get to call theirs for a month, six months or a year, respectively. The axolotls stay in Mexico, but donors receive an adoption kit with an infographic, the axolotl’s identification card, a certificate of adoption and a personalized thank-you letter.
