@NyakoKitty ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I love this but you don’t have to have this level of skill to use the earth as a message board. When Occupy was in full force I often wrote their hashtag on any stretch of open sand or dirt as large as the space would allow. If your near a beach or even a sand lot in a city park consider writing #RESIST #RESISTEVERYWHERE #Fascist #GOP #tRump #Europe #Asia

Young people across Asia are furious. But burned buildings and trashed department stores can't be the endgame. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/11/world/gen-z-protesters-challenge-asias-old-guard/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #genz #nepal #indonesia #srilanka #bangladesh #asia
Won't get as much attention as the #murder of someone I'd never heard off in #Utah, but this suspicious killing of Vian Ruma, a young #environmental #activist in #Indonesia deserves as much, if not more, global attention.
We're losing too many of our future in #Asia.

East Asia’s fertility plunge is driven not just by financial costs but by perfectionist cultural expectations that burden parents with intense educational and social demands, discouraging larger families. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/05/japan/east-asias-demographic-crisis/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #asia #eastasia #china #japan #southkorea #education #children
East and #SoutheastAsia have the most populated time zones in the world.
Yet most so-called "global" #civilsociety calls or meetings are set at times that are incredibly inconvenient for those of us here. And, as a result, you see so few #Asians participating in a lot of global networks. It's a self-defeating cycle.
