  18. #Ginsberg stands on the stone steps above the #Ganges (in #Varanasi), watching the funeral pyres burn one after another. The air is thick with woodsmoke, sparks drifting upward like fireflies blown by the river wind. He notices how close the mourners stand to the flames, how practical and unceremonial the workers are as they tend the fires, adding logs, turning the bodies. He’s struck by the mingled smell—sweet, oily, acrid—and how it settles on his skin.

    He keeps staring at the shape of a body half-revealed through the fire, the curved spine visible, the skull blackening. The workers prod at the pyre with long bamboo poles, coaxing it to burn evenly. A foot slips out of the woodpile and curls as it chars, and he’s transfixed by how familiar and ordinary the body looks even as it’s turning to smoke.

    The river moves past, carrying little bits of ash. A dog noses the ground behind him. Someone beside him murmurs a prayer; someone else just watches silently. He realizes the families accept this transformation as simply part of the world, without horror—death turning to light, to heat, to dust.

    Ginsberg feels a mixture of wonder and unease, but also a kind of calm. He senses that in this place the boundary between life and death isn’t hidden—it's utterly public, happening all day in the open air. He feels the moment press on him: the fragility of the body, the mundane precision of the fire, and the surreal beauty of the smoke rising over the river.

  22. Der #Ganges trocknet laut einer neuen Studie so stark aus wie seit 1.300 Jahren nicht mehr.

    Die Flussmenge ist heute um 76 Prozent geringer als beim schlimmsten historischen #Dürreereignis im 16. Jahrhundert. Hauptursache ist menschliches Handeln, darunter ein geschwächter Sommer-#Monsun durch Erwärmung des Indischen Ozeans und #Luftverschmutzung.

    Forschende fordern neue Strategien für das #Wassermanagement, um die Versorgung von Millionen Menschen zu sichern.

  24. Doch noch was: Im Einzugsgebiet des #Ganges/#Brahmaputra leben übrigens 362 Millionen Menschen in insgesamt fast 1200 Städten mit jeweils mindestens 50.000 Einwohnern. 🤯

    Beide Zahlen sind mehr als doppelt so groß wie bei der Nr. 2 (dem #Jangtse) und sogar jeweils dreimal so groß wie bei Nr. 3 und 4 (#Indus und #Nil) 🤯🤯🤯

  31. Pas d’#IVG possible, maternité fermée : des femmes se mobilisent dans l’#Hérault, cinquante ans après la loi Veil

    A #Ganges, un collectif se bat pour que ce village de l’Hérault retrouve son service d’obstétrique. Depuis sa fermeture, fin 2022, les accouchements sont plus risqués, et, cinquante ans après la loi Veil, l’accès à l’avortement est compromis. #cevennes #gard #LeVigan #Montpellier #La Francepériphérique #AgatheBeaudouin #LeMonde lemonde.fr/m-le-mag/article/20
