the problem with the West carving up colonies along straight lines wasn't that they were straight, but that any arbitrary lines are fucking terrible for these places

Starting a thread for a new long-term project to research the history of Rangsit, a large plain north of Bangkok that has gone from marsh to rice basket to factory town to exurb over the last 150 years Hoping it'll get me to engage more local sources, and if I'm living here I figure might as well
A map showing the Bangkok Metropolitan Area's location in Thailand and Pathum Thani's location to the north of BangkokA map of the Rangsit Canal system to the east of the Chao Phraya River and north of BangkokAn aerial view of the Rangsit Canal in the early 20th century surrounded by agricultural fieldsA view of the Rangsit Canal in the early 21st century surrounded by housing developments

Part of what happened here is the reality that Black people had to be included when considering labor and a total rejection of that fact.

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

A new study of the Indus Valley city of Mohenjo-daro (c. 2600–1900 BCE) indicates that egalitarian structures increased there with the expansion of the city. Perhaps urbanism doesn’t always conjure inequality? Really wish that David Graeber was still here to read this.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I think every trans person on this website should drop everything and read this immediately. Some of the worst social media backlash I've had lately has come from trans people who are mad at me for telling trans people not to panic over the current political situation.

In case you didn't know: Many hospitals offer financial assistance programs that one can apply for. You may even end up getting all of your bill waived! I just got my bill brought down from over $6k to a little over $1k. Good luck everyone 🫡

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"
