well here's my #introduction
Hi, I'm Nox! I'm new to fedi but am here to meet new friends and get support on things. I am quite shy though, so may be a bit awkward at first.
My primary hobby is #worldbuilding: I have my own fantasy world I have been building for years (feel free to ask me about bits of it). My other hobbies and interests include, but are not strictly limited to: #music, #geography, #history, computer stuff, #vexillology, and science.
Genderfluid, sapphic romantic (maybe?), pansexual, polyam. My genders are female, femboy, and enby. They switch regularly and I don't mind being referred to as either one.
Autistic with severe ADHD.
Feel free to respond to this if you'd like

#map The oldest map ever drawn, dating back to 9,000 years and discovered in Jordan. The ‘Jibal al-Khashabiyeh engraved stone’ depicts a ‘desert kite’, a hunting device used in the Middle East during the Neolithic. The maps was drawn on a 92 kg limestone block nearly 80 cm high using a stone tool. The block was recovered in 2015, and the results of the analyses were published in 2023 in the journal PLOS ONE

Today in Labor History December 9, 1842: The Anarchist formerly known as Prince, Peter Kropotkin, was born on this date in Moscow. Kropotkin was a geographer and anarcho-communist. His most well-known works include “Conquest of Bread,” “Fields, Factories,” and “Mutual Aid, A Factor of Evolution,” which explores the role of mutually-beneficial cooperation and reciprocity (i.e., mutual aid) in the animal kingdom and human societies both past and present. It was an argument against the theory of social Darwinism, popular at the time, that argued that existing social relations were the natural consequence of rich people’s inherent genetic superiority over the poor. Kropotkin argued that because mutual aid has pragmatic advantages for the survival of human and animal communities, it has proliferated through natural selection. In 1874, Kropotkin was arrested and imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress for subversive political activity. In 1876, he escaped and fled to Switzerland. During his younger days, he served as a geographer for the Russian empire. In 1873, he published a scientific paper showing that the existing maps entirely misrepresented the physical features of Asia.

What does summer feel like where you live? Hot or cool? Rainy or dry? For the #30daymapchallenge Day 25 prompt "Hexagons", I mapped summer climates across North America. I averaged the 1991-2020 climate normals for mean summer temperature and total summer precipitation within 50,000 square kilometer hexagons using data from ClimateNA.

If, like me, you enjoy looking at maps but are not well up in cartography, you will find the Royal Geographical Society's "Theatre of the World" an enjoyable and instructive guide to the history of the printed atlas.
