Tears of Drought
Photo by Sharwar Apo, from Health in a Heating World (single image)
"Parents take their child to hospital in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, 10-15 miles across this drought-parched land, the mother holding a saline drip all the way. For much of the year, the land is dead like this, but for four months it is flooded. Either way, safe drinking water is scarce, crops can’t grow, health problems abound – from dehydration to infection – and transport is limited. This family’s journey succeeded, and the child was treated for her diarrhoea. But many of those who attempt this journey are not so lucky

Amazing photo. So heart-rending and yet almost stylized.
We have a Bangladeshi friend who worked for almost 8 years to bring his wife and children to the States (which he finally was able to do). Every time I see something like this, I understand a little more.

Sounds like a plan

Meh
Yeah, this is some bullshit.
Love to pursue bipartisanship with people who straight up would do murders on us if they could.

*This* is a great pyramid
The Great Pyramid of Giza is built from 2.3 million stone blocks weighing about 3 tonnes each, and so weighs around 6.5 million tonnes in total.

I would have gone with This IS a great pyramid, like you were expecting it to be a mediocre one.

WOULD GO. But my shoes would be very tall and I would likely fall off of them.
I would cause problems by attending this sort of party. Because I am very tall.
I’m very tall in France but only kinda tall in England…

That's... pretty close for what was essentially dead reckoning.
@chicobangs They had surveying back then and were pretty good at it. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ) But yeah, even with cumulative errors (and, probably, having to work around a lot of hostile territories) they were a lot better than I would have expected.
I think sailing around the Mediterranean, they stuck close to the coast as much as they could.
The Flipside
As some know I venture around the Pilbara in Western Australia a lot, looking for prehistoric artefacts. It's a costly exercise and it's all paid for by Iron Ore mining companies. Iron ore mining severely impacts the landscape that I search for these things in, I mean they literally explode it and dig it up and cart it away... mostly to steel mills in China.
But the Pilbara is a seriously huge space, and mining is only a dot in that space, but you can see what it does just in this picture. The range you see is the Eastern Ranges and on the left is untouched range, underneath the dust from that explosion is a mined range.
The quandry for me here is that we all need and use iron ore products in our day to day lives, I don't need to list those things here, but at what cost to the planet?
I mean I wouldn't be undertaking the work I do in the Pilbara if it wasn't for the mining money, and I am part of the long process of protecting the artefacts and places we rediscover, these are all good things, very good things.
But I think it hit home to me this trip when I realised that next year they will start mining the areas we've been working in for the past 7 years, much of it will be lost as a result, not the artefacts, just the landscape. But I've fallen in love with that landscape and I've participated in its destruction. Or have I?
I wonder if I'm just kidding myself when I say the mantra again and again "I'm not here to help the mining, I'm here to protect the remnants of this prehistoric culture" This landscape is going to be mined if I do this work or I don't do this work. So perhaps we are the silver lining to a grey cloud.
Or maybe I'm just a 50 something bloke who's getting sentimental as he ages and I'm over thinking it all. But I did find myself looking into the distance a lot this trip, looking at the countless ranges out there that are untouched, hoping they're as beautiful as these ones.
Anyways, here's wonderwall...

Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for your caring and your efforts to save the history of that place.
man, you just reminded me of an episode from back 2010 or so. I flew with a friend to Minas Gerais state in Brazil. the state's name mean general mines so it was the state where diamond, silver, gold and all other worth mineral was dug in Brazil.
on one day I was walking down the street and saw this old white hair and white beard short guy painting in the living room of an old house. looked like a mix of a living room, a studio and a bar.
I raise the camera (DSLR times) and as I was framing the pic he saw me and asked not to take the shot. as I apologized he understood I was portuguese and invited us to walk into the house.
cutting a long story short: he had worked most is life as an engineer in mines. as he got older he regretted all the offenses to mother earth by blowing tunnels into it's belly in search for whatever. as soon as he could, retired and dedicated time to photography and painting, living away from the family, to make peace with himself and Earth.
I bought a painting from him which I kept on the wall in the living room until I moved recently. translation of the painting's name means gap and has not so subtle cris crossed lines over the canvas and the rest of the painting itself - it meant from he chaos the order will come and make peace with what surrounds us.
just googled and found he died in 2018.
the long nights we spent drinking cachaça, smoking cigarettes, listening to old brazilian music, talking about life and the universe had an impact on me back then. he was an amazing man with an incredible view on us.
here's something on him - on the bottom there are some of his paitings: http://bloguidoval.blogspot.com/2009...

Dood, if you didn’t conserve, who would? And would they strive for what you have? Or would they do the minimum required by law and prepare themselves for a payoff from the mining companies?
Beeteedubs, I enjoy seeing your work.

Maybe now we can work on getting rid of the Nazis in our law enforcement.
B99
Remembered I had this for Pride Month! 🌈🤣💯
Unpopular opinion but I thought Brooklyn 99 was just ~okay~. Granted I watched it last year and it felt rather tone deaf regarding the show’s approach to policing.
But Holt? Holt was spectacular. Absolutely the star of the show and made up for all the stuff that fell a little flat for me.

The final season might be more your cup of tea, since they decided it would be the last due to how bad the police really are.
They've also taken on some uncomfortable topics, like racial profiling, albeit before the protests last summer. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with all of that in this season.
Happy Pride, y’all!
