In 1965, an American scholar bought her first stolen god from two boys outside a Kathmandu temple. Grains of rice were still stuck to it — offerings from worshippers. She paid less than $2 and wrote in her diary: "I don't think the temple will miss it at all." 🧵 www.himalmag.com/mary-slusser...

Frequent large fires are only partially due to climate change. Its also things like extended periods of fire suppression that ignore natural fire return intervals & same stand-age "forests" aka tree farms that aren't actual forests. Ecology is not simple & mitigation can happen on multiple fronts!

I’ll add that there are indeed a lot of “culture wars” in China, they just usually aren’t spoken in English like you see in the West or India. China is probably not as bad as SK in terms of gender politics, but it’s getting there. And there are Han ethnic anxieties as stupid as white American ones.

Families in Tehran are taping up their windows and sleeping together in rooms away from the glass. Their buildings have already been shaken by nightly explosions from the most sustained bombing in the capital since the eight years of the Iran-Iraq war. Some are rushing to buy
generators, concerned that new attacks could cause critical services like electricity and water to unravel.
The bombings and threats have left many Iranians living in fear not only of their own government, which killed thousands of people in a crackdown on protesters early this year, but their would-be American rescuers, who pledged at the beginning of the war to create the conditions for their government to fall.
A 43-year-old woman living in Tehran and undergoing treatment for breast cancer said she worried what intensified attacks on infrastructure could mean for her healthcare.
