Cecilily discusses the financialisation of Pokemon cards as an investment vehicle.

It's one thing that makes me pause in teaching my niece how to play, I don't want her to get caught up in the abstraction of the cards as anything other than pieces of cardboard with funny pictures of animals

Melaleuca, alongside Callistemon (bottlebrush) and leptospermum, are part of the Leptospermum alliance and are popular native shrubs and trees.
