‘Make Singapore Home Again’? No thanks. I am proud that Singapore is home to so many people not like me, including those who quite literally build it. I want more things to make *them* feel more welcome.

Spoonbills are easier to capture as they are slower in flight. Liked how this spoonbill was naturally backlit.

Another BIF (bird in flight). Here is the Macaw, distinctive, colourful, elegant in flight but quirky when stationary.

A sunset city skyline with cranes, buildings, trees and broken clouds. There is a bright flame-like glow just above the horizon where the setting sun has lit the clouds, and a gradation of darker yellows and greys around this, with some blue sky showing in the upper part of the photo. In the foreground yellow flowers on the trees catch the glow.

Ha! This is interesting. What it's basically saying is that Malay lost the word for earthquake (which is still extant in other Austronesian language cousins eg Indonesian languages for example, like Javanese) that we had to re-import it from Sanskrit because we have so few of it

QT of a tweet showing a map of earthquakes in Southeast Asia, showing clearly how Malaysia, and Kalimantan and parts of Sumatera in Indonesia (and mainland Southeast Asia up to Vietnam but not bordering Bangladesh) completely avoids the Pacific Ring of Fire: "Reason Malay speakers say "gempa bumi" (< Sanskrit भूमिकम्प bhūmikampa) while Javanese speakers say "lindu" (< ꦭꦶꦤ꧀ꦝꦸ lindhu < Proto-Austronesian *linuʀ ) 👇"

"Wendy Zhang’s love for insects knows no bounds. She has a freezer compartment full of dead insects, allows wasps to nest in her home, has a beetle tattoo on her arm and keeps a bucket list of insects she dreams of seeing in her lifetime. Among them: the world’s biggest insects, like the titan beetle of the Amazon rainforest, which defends itself with sharp spines and powerful jaws."
