I'd like to make it clear that I am the kind of mapdevil who adores cartography.
Atlases, globes and X marks the spot.
I'd change my name but I've been a mapdevil to my family for decades.
And why should I have to, anyway?

I read somewhere that Romans during the decline of their civilization didnโt realize it was the end, only that the local bridge hadnโt been repaired in a while.

York cobblestones. 2006 vs 2026.
Well maintained in 2006. Canโt be arsed to maintain properly and just plaster with tarmac patches in 2026. British civic pride decay in a nutshell.

๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐ธ Terrible scenes of what can only be called COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT in the West Bank!
Two IDF soldiers were shot dead in Hebron on Friday, and the Israeli government thinks it's okay to level entire neighborhoods in the area in response.
Peace has no chance as long as injustice like this is allowed to continue!

'Male teachers have worked in girlsโ schools for some time, itโs not a new concept.'
Yep ... I went to a girls' school. There were lots of male teachers - including the odd one we found a bit creepy.
But here's four things they never did:
1. Tell us they were women and that we had to call them 'Miss'
2. Publish an article in the newspaper about travelling abroad for a 'sex change' op and/or hold a raffle to raise money for it (1990s pre-internet version)
3. Use toilets, showers and changing facilities reserved for female staff or students - or claim they were entitled to do so
4. Supervise girls getting changed for PE or dance - or claim they were entitled to do so
Had they done any of these things - or had there been even the slightest concern they *might* be - this would have raised serious safeguarding concerns.
Now girls - and their parents - are told its 'unkind' to question what would once have been extremely concerning behaviour.
