okay Anyways it's time to talk about My favorite thing ever, merging any other thing I like with miraculous ladybug because I understand miraculous ladybug characters to my core.

Like currently, outside of the MLP au I'm making, Most of my crossovers/ Aus have been with or surrounding Miraculous ladybug.

rn (not rn but whenever im free), I'm working on a Miraculous ladybug TMA au where the miraculous characters are,,, basically in the same situation

Like Marinette is Jon, Ayla is Sasha, Felix is tim, and Adrien in Martin.

Love and Deepspace community I repeat- if you are in the USA while elebrating Caleb’s birthday and you are a Person of Color (Asian, Black, Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander ect,) you need to be careful going to Caleb birthday events.

ICE has arrested US citizen, tourist, people who are doing it the “right way”. They have arrested people with proper documentation- I need everyone to understand that they do not care, they have quotas to fill, and will RACIALLY PROFILE YOU.

Having attended LADS events before I know a large portion of our community are Asian- I also know racist will interchange Asian from Latino when it is convenient to them. There is also a growing attention on the number of Asian migrants who traveled into the USA through Latin America. This is my warning that if you think this will not affect your community or you- you are wrong. Just look at what’s happening with Justin Chung. A Korean immigrant in the USA, being tricked by ICE, and got brute force used on him. (I will talk further about his case in a future post.)

Please be careful- travel in groups/ pairs. Have ID, have a phone charged at all times in case you need to document any interactions. I’d suggest following ICE watch accounts for the area you are in. Know where the immigration courts are in your area, because that’s where they are currently staking out- it might be near your event venue.

Happy Celebrate Bisexuality Day!

While many parts of the queer community mark visibilty or awareness days, the word "Celebrate" was conciously chosen for Celebrate Bisexuality Day on the 23rd of September.

To quote one of the day's founders, Wendy Curry (left):

"Pride is an outward act - letting the world know we were not ashamed of who we were. C[elebrate] B[isexuality] D[ay] was meant to be an inward act. Getting our community together to celebrate who were we and how privileged we were to be who we are."

Shout out to all our bi followers on this day!

[C]elebrated Victorian travel writer[s] [...] recounted the wilful behaviour of these captive animals [...] [in] a growing corpus of travel writings attempting to capture and relay the sites and scenes of the colony for a wider British audience. [...] [A] range of colonial-era writings - including veterinary texts, memoirs, diaries, fiction and travel writings - [...] [demonstrates] the entangled histories of elephants working in Burma's timber trade [...] [and] trace[s] the development of imperial knowledge about the Asian elephant [...]. The specific configuration of animal agency within the [British imperial] timber trade was a prerequisite factor for the generation of scientific knowledge about elephants. [...]

Teak operations in British Burma during the second half of the nineteenth century had resulted in the decimation of easily accessible forests. Timber firms now had to push their operations into more remote regions of the colony. This necessitated capital-intensive operations involving the purchase of elephants whose labour made possible the logging and transport of this harder-to-reach teak. By the period between 1919 and 1924, elephants represented the largest assets owned by the biggest timber firm operating in the colony [...]. This animal capital, of around three thousand creatures, represented between five and six million rupees annually, the equivalent of roughly a third of the corporation's liabilities. [...]

And these elephants must have been busy. This five-year period saw half a million tons of teak exported out of the colony, the overwhelming majority of which was exported by a handful of large British-owned firms. Their ownership of these beasts of burden gave imperial trading firms a considerable advantage over smaller-scale Burmese outfits and, according to some, over the government of Burma. [...] [T]his expanding and increasingly monopolized animal workforce, mostly employed in camps located in the colony's borders with Siam and Assam, brought unprecedented numbers of Asian elephants into the purview of the colonial scientific gaze. It made colonial Burma an important site for the study of elephants. [...]

---

Within the camps the ‘crush’ was the principal site for exacting discipline. The crush was a wooden structure [...]. Efforts to escape would tire and demoralize the animal, who would have been weakened through deliberate starvation. [...] Supplementing these physical impediments were pharmacological restraints. Opium was used to make elephants more amenable to human direction, particularly to tranquilize elephants for medical interventions. [...] These disciplinary techniques produced knowledge of individual elephants and their characters. Descriptive rolls were maintained providing the physical details of each elephant, giving information on its origins, listing any ailments and recording any misdemeanours, especially episodes of violence.

These documents were held by European supervisors employed by the timber firms to oversee operations. They were used to monitor the Burmese staff too, [...] reinforcing the imperial racial hierarchy in the everyday routines of the camps. The self-serving idea of the white officer protecting the elephants from indigenous cruelty was repeated throughout the early twentieth century. [...]

---

The contingent way that elephants’ bodies changed in the camps mattered for the generation of scientific knowledge. The question of how long elephants could live, and the difficulties of judging an elephant's age, demonstrate this point. [...] The sportsman Fitzwilliam Pollok claimed to have never found the remains of an elephant that had died of natural causes in all of his travels in the colony. This apocryphal but famed longevity stood in contrast to their lifespans in the camps, where elephants over the age of forty were considered elderly [...]. Imperial elephant knowledge was based upon these camp-conditioned bodies [...]. The elephant camps and timber yards were sites that enabled imperial authors to make their studies.

The development of a vaccine against anthrax in elephants illustrates the global significance of the colony's industry in contributing to scientific knowledge. [...] The outcome of these discussions, in 1928, was the employment of a veterinary research officer paid by both the state and the big timber firms. Revealing the wider imperial networks at play in this process, it was determined swiftly after establishing this agreement that the research officer should be a South African. This reflected the status that this settler colony had acquired for expertise in veterinary medicine within the British Empire by the interwar years, particularly for diseases affecting livestock, such as anthrax. [...]

---

Elephants in colonial Burma's teak industry were vital actors, in both senses of the word 'vital'. [...] The agency of imperial corporations to exploit Burma's resources was the effect of relationships between humans and elephants, and other animals. [...] Racial hierarchies and divisions of labour segmented the human workers. [...] Scientific knowledge of animals was not innocent of the structural position of a species in the empire. Certain creatures became available to imperial researchers through the specific relationships engendered by imperial expansion.

It took James a second, or few, before he reeled his eyes away from Lochlan’s ass. Not that it was his fault that his companion looked delicious and that was only the back! A part of James wondered if this was all an elebrate ploy to tease him, that the grey sweatpants were a decoy to send the poor boy spinning. James would have to investigate further, “hm, sorry~” he lazily picked up a larger roller paint brush and joined Lochlan’s wall, “was distracted.”
