#StartHereSocial Fun Fact #4

Three countries that consider #Rugby their national sport also have dedicated Mastodon services, supporting those three nations' local culture and communities:

#Madagascar #Madagasikara
#NewZealand #Aotearoa
#Wales #Cymru

Correlation is not causation, but we might be on to something here. Do the shared values of teamwork and community extend from the pitch to the Fediverse?

Hay un capítulo de la serie animada de #Madagascar donde Mort manifiesta una obsesión extrema y sin sentido por los pies del rey Julien. Incluso para mi tolerancia al humor raro, la trama del capítulo la siento un poco con demasiado para un público infantil, como si se intentara forzar en ese nicho algo que normalmente a esa edad no tiene nada de gracioso.

Entonces recuerdo que esto fue producido y transmitido por Nickelodeon.

#OnThisDay in 1913, Berthe Mayer was born. During the #SecondWorldWar, she worked as a radio operator for her husband Percy, an SOE agent on #Madagascar.

When the allies took the north of the island, Percy ended up behind Allied lines and Berthe behind French lines. Despite having small children and SOE and her husband telling her to stop, she kept transmitting intelligence on her radio. The French authorities knew a radio was transmitting somewhere and searched her house multiple times, but never found any evidence.

In November 1943, she received the MBE in recognition of her work.
