The Karen people came from Myanmar to India in the 1920s, brought by the British administration to work on forest-clearing in the Andamans. They maintain their connection to their homeland via ngapi, a dried-shrimp condiment that they make from tiny acetes shrimp. Here, @[email protected] tells the story of how it’s made, the cultural significance, and why their tradition is at risk.

And finally, it would frankly be remiss of us not to share this slightly older story that our @[email protected] unearthed from @[email protected]. It’s about a Michigan kid’s winning design for an “I Voted” sticker that may end up being distributed to voters throughout the state, and features a werewolf clawing off his shirt. It certainly made us howl (see what we did there?).
