countries be like "we're not anti-intellectual" but haven't even thought of throwing massive state pageant-rituals to memorialize their historians

@postoperation Buenos Aires in LatAm, Hanoi in SEA, Seoul and Shanghai in NEA, Ljubljana and Krakow in Europe, and Istanbul in the near east! I’ve also heard great things about Prague and Yogyakarta but can’t vouch for them personally.

Reporting from the Financial Times on Xinjiang remains incredibly grim:

* In some areas, 90% of children are taken from parents to be educated in boarding schools where they aren't allowed to speak Uyghur
* Officials monitor who eats during Ramadan and report those who skip meals
* Basic items like prayer mats and religious text are considered illegal contraband
* Adult Uyghur women are pressured to marry Han Chinese men, and there are official goals to sterilize a certain % of them.
* Xinjiang has the largest prison capacity in the world relative to population
* Huge numbers of Uyghur prisoners are now being shipped across the country in forced labor schemes, as a way to dodge Xinjiang sanctions/boycotts
* The CCP shut down all 10 existing Uyghur-language publishers, none remain. They fed one university's book collection into a shredder.

There's a lot going on the world, but it's worth remembering that China is still actively engaged in cultural genocide. They're barely even hiding it, they openly talk about the need to 'correct' Uyghur culture and create 'ethnic unity'. They are openly destroying an entire culture as efficiently as they can, cutting children off from parents, restricting language, restricting religious practice, forcing sterilizations and intermarriage, imprisoning anyone who resists the tiniest amount and shipping them out to forced labor factories. That is what the CCP is.

A privately owned lighthouse in Virginia is now up for sale.

Built in 1891, the Middle Ground Lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay was restored into a fully furnished residence only accessible by boat.

Carol and Hubert are still here and are approaching 1 year old. at this point, I'm willing to let them go separately if that helps them find homes. They are getting 0 interest as a pair and they'll be fine separated. please share

We still have all these very adoptable kittens waiting for homes somehow: Goomba, Toadette, Carol & Hubert, and Soda Can

They're getting close to 1 year old and are getting passed up for younger kittens. They're all extremely sweet 💔
