So I was scrolling and saw this image in an article about the European heat wave,

And was like, uh, are you missing something there, buddy? Like all that red in northern Africa? Because that’s a lot of red.

And I was going to give them the benefit of doubt, since I don’t know much about the climate in Northern Africa, aside from Morroco and Egypt, which seem like really hot places, so you know, maybe it’s normal there?

But nope, that’s not the case:

‘Hot Continent’ Perception Downplays Africa's Heat Wave Dangers

Africa is struggling with heat waves and many countries on the continent lack the resources rich economies have to deal with rising temperat

Bloomberg.com

Some selections from the article:

“The region has been experiencing some of the most intense heat waves in recent years, but in many cases they’ve been under-reported due to misconceptions about Africans’ ability to withstand them.

“Africa is seen as a sunny and hot continent,” said Amadou Thierno Gaye, a research scientist and professor at Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, the capital of Senegal. “People think we are used to heat, but we are having high temperatures for a longer duration. Nobody is used to this.”

”The Sahel, for instance, has been heating at a faster pace than the global average despite being hot already. Burkina Faso and Mali, both in West Africa’s Sahel, are among countries that are set to become almost uninhabitable by 2080, if the world continues on its current trajectory, a UK university study found. Its people are especially vulnerable due to shrinking resources, such as water, and poor amenities, and a dearth of trees and parks means there are few options for places to cool off.“

i don’t usually post my embroidery on here but i’m really happy with how this piece turned out! inspired by this post by @siarven, made and posted with their permission of course :)

dandelions as a symbol for transness is a concept that means so much to me actually. ever since i first saw the post that inspired this (and the post by @doppelnatur which in turn inspired that post) it’s been stuck in my head. i’ve loved dandelions for a long time and was already attached to them as symbols of hope, determination, and a refusal to conform or give in, and having my eyes opened to their potential as trans symbols as well made me love them even more.

to all my fellow trans people out there: may we all grow, transform ourselves, and flourish, in spite of everything the world throws at us <3
