Is North Korea actually bad

It is not what you have been told it is. There are many bad things about the government of North Korea, there are many bad things about those running it, but it is not what you have been told it is.

globle WILL be the way i fill in the gaps in my knowledge of world geography

[hotmess-exe]

I just read a comment on an afropop music video saying "Nigerians are carrying the continent"

man, it's one thing when everyone else does it. but I BETTER NOT start seeing Africans conflating Nigeria The Nation with Africa The Continent. THEY don't see a difference in our art or music or histories or cultures or tribes or languages because Africa is still a fucking country to most non-Africans. but YOU, fellow African. You know the fuck better.

I had better the fuck not see that bullshit. being most visible or most recognizable on the global stage just means you're winning a popularity contest. Popularity ≠ Quality. And especially not in a popularity contest thrown by a world that never has and continues not to value our lives, our autonomy, and ESPECIALLY our arts and culture.

when people complain about the un and international law being useless... look

I don't think (many) people fundamentally understand what the UN is, what international law is, and what they can and cannot do

the UN and international law in general are... quite imperfect and bureaucratic systems which are heavily politicised but it's like. a better world to be in where they do exist than one where there is not. I like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! I love the self-determination article in the subsequent human rights treaties and how decolonising countries in the 1940s-1970s played a crucial role in shaping the current system.

international law gives us benchmarks, lines in the sand to point out and articulate why someone something did was illegal without running into the issue of ex post facto law, which was an issue in the nuremberg trials, but I digress.

the UN is not a governing body. it has no independent political power.

international law, at the end of the day, is based on the consent of states. whether you like it or not, international law is a horizontal system.

most people are much more familiar with domestic law which is vertical and has clear enforcement mechanisms. international law, particularly international human rights law, has fucking shit enforcement mechanisms. it's all consent based, it's heavily politicised and it's woefully underfunded. sanctions are terrible. humanitarian interventions often go terribly wrong.

but they give structure, and guidelines, and things for civil society to point at and say: you have fucked up. you have breached xyz treaty article, as seen in abc treaty body decision or general comment.

I guess I'm real tired of people acting like international law and the UN are useless or a net negative. like. there are a lot of issues. but it's more complex than 'good' versus 'bad'.

the power imbalance between countries and the veto power of the security un council in particular are stupid but products of historical reality and compromise. international law is built on compromise.

anyway keep on holding the west accountable for the treaties they helped create and signed. unfortunately the united states is weak and has not ratified as many treaties as it should have but what state has ratified which treaty is publicly available information and so are the treaties.

I wasn’t expecting that about one in ten books alters my brain chemistry while doing this “reading a book from every country” challenge. Holy fuck Angola’s “The book of chameleons” by José Eduardo Agualusa is absolutely stunning breathtaking amazing. How is this not an international bestseller on the same level as Franz Kafka and Mario Vargas Llosa. I’m a slut for modernism!! Not that Agualusa is technically a modernist, the book was published in 2004, but fucking hell it’s Kafkaesque, it has an unreliable narrator, the dream sequences. The themes. The subversiveness of gender, the identity issues. EXQUISITE

Tanzania, a breathtaking gem in East Africa, is not only celebrated for its stunning landscapes and vibrant wildlife but also for its remarkable avian diversity. With over 1,100 recorded bird species, this country is a true paradise for birdwatchers. Whether you are a seasoned ornithologist or a casual nature lover, Tanzania offers an array of birding sanctuaries that promise unforgettable experiences. This guide will delve into the best birding sanctuaries in Tanzania, highlighting key locations, notable species, and essential tips for your Tanzania birding tours.

1. Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is arguably the most famous wildlife reserve in the world. While known for the Great Migration, its diverse birdlife is equally captivating. The park hosts over 500 bird species, making it a premier destination for birding enthusiasts.

In the Serengeti, birdwatchers can expect to see the elegant Secretary Bird, the majestic African Fish Eagle, and various species of vultures and raptors. The park’s varied habitats, ranging from open savannas to lush riverine forests, provide a rich tapestry for bird watching.

Birding is excellent year-round, but the wet season (November to April) is particularly rewarding. During this time, migratory species flock to the area, enhancing your bird watching experience.

2. Ngorongoro Crater

A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ngorongoro Crater is a unique ecosystem that supports a diverse range of wildlife and bird species. Its stunning landscapes create an unforgettable backdrop for bird watching.

The crater is home to the rare Black Rhinoceros and over 200 bird species, including the impressive Lammergeier and the striking Kori Bustard. The mix of habitats—from expansive grasslands to dense woodlands—greatly enhances the birding experience.

The dry season (June to October) offers optimal visibility for wildlife, including birds. This period is ideal for spotting both resident and migratory species.

3. Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara is renowned for its diverse ecosystems, including wetlands, forests, and grasslands. This park is a birdwatcher’s dream, with over 400 bird species recorded.

Birdwatchers can spot the iconic Flamingos, the colorful African Jacana, and the striking Grey-headed Kingfisher. The park is also known for its large populations of pelicans and storks, making it a birding hotspot.

The wet season attracts migratory birds, while the dry season provides excellent opportunities to see resident species. Thus, it’s a prime destination throughout the year.

4. Tarangire National Park

Tarangire is known for its iconic baobab trees and large herds of elephants. This hidden gem offers incredible bird watching opportunities, thanks to its diverse habitats.

Key Species

Look for the Tawny Eagle, the African Pygmy Goose, and the vibrant Yellow-collared Lovebird. Tarangire is also home to many migratory species during the wet season, enhancing the bird watching experience.

The best months for bird watching are during the wet season (November to April) when migratory birds arrive, providing a spectacular display for birdwatchers.

5. Ruaha National Park

As Tanzania's largest national park, Ruaha offers a unique mix of savanna and bushland, providing an excellent birding experience. Its remote location means fewer tourists, allowing for a more intimate bird watching adventure.

Ruaha is home to over 570 bird species, including the striking African Harrier-Hawk and the colorful Lilac-breasted Roller. The diversity of habitats supports a wide range of birdlife, making each visit unique.

The dry season (June to October) is ideal for spotting wildlife, including birds, as they become more active and visible.

6. Lake Victoria

As the largest lake in Africa, Lake Victoria supports a rich variety of bird species. The lake's wetlands and shores create perfect conditions for bird watching.

Look for the African Fish Eagle, Papyrus Gonolek, and various heron species. The lake is crucial for migratory birds, making it a hotspot during specific times of the year.

The wet season (November to April) attracts many migratory species, enhancing bird watching opportunities and making it a prime location during this period.

7. Amani Nature Reserve

Located in the Usambara Mountains, Amani Nature Reserve is a lesser-known sanctuary that offers a unique birding experience. The lush rainforest and diverse habitats provide a haven for many bird species.

Birdwatchers can look for the endemic Usambara Thrush and the vibrant Amani Sunbird, along with numerous other forest birds. This reserve plays a critical role in bird conservation in Tanzania.

Birding is excellent year-round, but the dry season offers the best opportunities for spotting endemic species, making it a must-visit for dedicated birdwatchers.

8. Usambara Mountains

The Usambara Mountains are characterized by a range of ecosystems, from montane forests to grasslands. This area is rich in biodiversity, making it a fantastic location for birding.

The mountains host several endemic species, including the Uluguru Bushshrike and the Tanzania Mountain Greenbul. The lush vegetation supports a variety of other birds, providing numerous bird watching opportunities.

The dry season (June to October) is best for bird watching, as birds are more active and visible, allowing for better sightings.

c provide an incredible opportunity to explore the country’s rich avian biodiversity. From the iconic Serengeti to the serene Amani Nature Reserve, each location offers unique bird watching experiences. Whether you're embarking on Tanzania birding tours or exploring these stunning sanctuaries independently, you’re sure to create unforgettable memories. Prepare your binoculars, pack your camera, and get ready to witness the incredible birdlife that Tanzania has to offer!

@a-book-of-creatures

Oh yeah! The Story-teller cassette and book was a monthly release thing (I forget if it was subscription only or if you could buy them month to month in stores). Each book was about the size of a magazine and would have fairy tales and stories in them with full coloured illustrations. The fairy tales were a mix of things like Grimm's Fairy Tales, Aesop's Fables, fairy tales from other countries and some other stuff sprinkled in (I have no idea where Gobelino the Witch's Cat is from originally). The longer stories would be cut into parts so you had to buy the next month's issue to keep reading them but there were shorter one shot stories and poetry and stuff.

Also I knew these as "Storieman" because I had them in my home language but I think the British version was called "Storyteller"

Also you can download all of them as high quality PDFs here

The artists for the Pinocchio sections are credit with Francis Phillipps [sic], however, so now I'm unsure if it's just the style of the art which is similar because of when the illustrations were made. But I could swear they look very similar. But perhaps I am mistaken. Like I said, it might just be an era thing.

(the 80s were a different time for children's media, man)

This is the same series where I first learned what a unicorn was and appropriately it was a unicorn that tried to gore a man to death with its horn.

Posting this because I reblogged something about Usborne Books and apparently most people seem to associate Usborne with lift-the-flap books for preschoolers.

Which is weird because to me as a child Usborne books were some of the spookiest books I could get my hands on. They filled the same place as Dorling Kindersley - colorful, creative, informative books that were educational as well as fun to read. And their approach to myths and legends was, not going to lie, very formative for me. If it wasnt' for Usborne, there might not have been ABC.

And much like Dorling Kindersley, Usborne went through a phase of extreme creative experimentation before stagnating into safer forms of publishing. But for a while, Usborne books were mindblowing.

So what has Usborne done then that aren't lift-the-flap books for preschoolers? Well, a lot. Puzzle Adventures. Extreme map and code puzzles. How to Draw Books. Cut-out and build houses, Trojan horses, and dinosaurs (by Luis Rey no less). How to Be A Detective. Nature spotter's guides. Nature Search books. Facts and Lists books that instilled cosmic horror in me years before I knew what cosmic horror was. I could go on forever.

There was a series of excellent myths and legends books which I posted about before.

These were illustrated by Rodney Matthews and were every bit as metal as you'd expect from something by Rodney frickin' Matthews.

Then there were the Quest books which were Where's Waldo-esque books that followed a storyline in a fantasy world.

In this case, they showcased lush art by Nick Harris in which you find various items or characters to make the story progress, as well as other random things (find 10 rats, find 8 clownfishes, etc).

The Tabloid Histories books, oh my gosh.

Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Medieval, etc. history told through tabloid articles and ads.

More about monsters though! There were books about folktales and legends illustrated by Stephen Cartwright.

For me it was my first time hearing of a lot of them, such as the Lambton Worm!

The Haunted World, now that was spooky! With lots of colorful, dripping art by Graham Humphreys.

Introduced me to a lot of ghosts, vampires, and monsters from around the world. Such as the story of Arnold Paole!

And there were maps and diagrams...

... and lindorns [sic] and mokele-mbembes!

The Supernatural Guides had denser text but sadly have not been reprinted anytime recently.

The World of the Unknown series, though... ohohoho those were good.

Of course (no offense to fans of ghosts and UFOs), I had eyes only for the Monsters book. With such gems as the Velue...

... the Lambton Worm...

... and cryptozoological rubbish such as the Monongahela sea serpent (below), the Loch Ness Monster, the Abominable Snowman, and their ilk.

You know, the sort of thing that would keep a 7-year-old fascinated (and perhaps scared under the blankets) for weeks.

Anyway, yeah I just really love Usborne books. Or at least what they used to be.
