“When we think of the transatlantic slave trade, the brutality of capture, forced transport, and unpaid labour is rightly at the forefront. But what’s often overlooked is how targeted and strategic this system was.
Enslavement wasn’t random. European slavers knew exactly what they were looking for, and one of their prime targets were African rice farmers from the West African coast.”

Trump's 24-49% tariff hammer on ASEAN amounts to economic terrorism. ASEAN's "China plus one" strategy that's fueling their industrialization is threatened by US sabotage. Wise nations will tell America to choke on its tariffs, pivot to the Global South, and fast-track regional integration.

Something I'm working on for my (now year-late) #Mausritter adventure.
1 minute sketch of one of the characters.
Well hidden.
There were deer a minute ago, but as soon as I went to take pictures.. poof.
I could still see where they were, but they were almost indistinguishable from the wooded surroundings..
So, here are some trees.
The image depicts a dense forest scene with a variety of trees. In the foreground, there is a prominent green pine branch with needles, extending across the frame. The ground is covered with a layer of dry leaves and twigs, indicating a natural forest floor. The trees in the background are tall and slender, with some having bare branches, suggesting it might be early spring or late autumn. The bark of the trees is rough and gray, with some areas showing signs of lichen or moss growth. The light filtering through the canopy creates a dappled effect on the forest floor. The overall color palette includes shades of green, brown, and gray, with the green of the pine needles contrasting against the brown of the fallen leaves and the gray of the tree trunks.
