Beware the hungry grass. In more superstitious times, Irish people would attribute sudden sharp attacks of hunger to walking on féar gorta, ground cursed by the restless ghost of a famine victim concealed beneath. The Irish for ‘hungry grass’ differs by just a fada — an accent — from fear gorta, ‘hungry man’. We don’t […]

We've overhauled Drupal's industry landing pages to better showcase the real-world impact of Drupal across critical business sectors. These refreshed pages represent a new, more strategic approach to how we position Drupal for enterprise audiences.
These redesigned industry pages create focused spaces where prospects in specific industries can see Drupal solving problems they recognize—at the scale and complexity they need. Instead of generic CMS messaging, decision-makers in retail, healthcare, government, and other sectors now find pages that speak directly to their pain points, featuring case studies from organizations facing similar challenges.
What's Changed
Curated excellence
We are moving away from allowing agencies to book slots, to instead carefully selecting the best projects that demonstrate Drupal's capabilities. This means visitors see the most compelling case studies—recognized brands, innovative solutions, and clear business results that sell Drupal effectively.

Death comes for us all. We are outlived, as Barkandji man Woddy Harris would have it, by Mother Nature, who holds us in something that I think he would liken to ‘eternity’. By what logic, then, must Mother Nature also die? The Barkandji in Wilcannia and nearby Menindee had been protesting and putting their effort […]

I was as surprised as anyone about the election results. The polls were a little too unified, so obviously, I assumed it was a conspiracy. But I now have to accept reality. He will be our next mayor. But before we jump to any conclusions about what this means for the future of the party, let’s remember: He was up against a deeply flawed candidate.
His opponent was universally despised. And that’s our bad. But how could we have known that voters were tired of old sexual predators? Still, with the benefit of hindsight, we acknowledge that we should have run a more pleasant and authentic candidate. Or at least, someone we could make authentic with enough media training.

Kathy is a soon-to-be-retired small animal veterinarian in the greater Des Moines area. She was once reviewed as a top veterinarian for rats on a local rat forum. In her office, she has a preserved dog heart suspended in fluid filled with heartworm. She once gave this heart to her nephew, my cousin, for keeps, but her sister made him return it since it was too horrifying to have in their home.
Kathy is nothing if not entirely secure and confident in who she is, which I think would make her the ideal Golden Bachelorette. Recently, at a friend’s wedding, my mom drank a large amount of wine provided by a random older gentleman. When we pointed out to her that if she were to start dating again, she would have an easy time finding older men, she said, “Yes, Emily, I know.”
