I should stop being surprised at how quickly new films are pirated and available for sale.
I should also examine why this doesn't bother me.

Sometimes the roadside bike shops get their hands on some fancy gear.
This was an Italian brand. The name started with an "S."

This roadside bike shop is not carbon neutral. They also sell cooking charcoal.

A digitally altered mural for the "School Verte" in Antananarivo. There was not a vert ramp in sight, so I turned the kids into street skaters.
The school did have an empty pool, but no transitions.

Public parks are rare in Antananarivo. This one is a little shabby, but it's better than no park at all.

Les pierres levées (orimbato) de Madagascar notamment très présentes sur les hauts plateaux (en région Merina qui entoure la capitale), étaient généralement des symboles érigés en pleine campagne entre les villages pour marquer les grandes décisions des anciens rois et sceller leur mémoire. L'abolition de la monarchie vit l'identité de ces rois et la nature de ces décisions tomber malgré tout dans l'oubli pour la plupart (David Graeber, Lost People: Magic and the Legacy of Slavery in Madagascar)

Today Instead of "Casual Friday" Madagascar's civil servants have (mandatory) "Cultural Friday" — civil servants must report to work dressed in traditional Malagasy attire.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐒🗽 Twin black-and-white ruffed #lemurs born at #CentralParkZoo in April are raising awareness for their critically #endangeredspecies.
The fraternal twins Masco and Tonga are part of a species survival plan that aims to maintain genetic #diversity in zoo populations. Curator Susan Cardillo explains how the lemurs serve as "#rainforest gardeners" through seed dispersal and pollination in their native #Madagascar.

Sacred Sites As Refuges For Native Plant Diversity In An Urbanized Tropical Landscape [Madagascar]

H/T @nicolas Salliou | Senior scientist at ETH Zürich
“When [the authors] investigated the potential for blue-green infrastructures for the capital of Madagascar,… a large team surveyed plant communities along a rural-urban gradient.
They found that 12 Malagasy "sacred" hill settlements, situated in the core of a pre-colonial kingdom, are particularly precious as they host a high diversity of native plants. A key insights when one considers that Madagascar is a unique hotspot for biodiversity and human cultures…”

“In fragmented and intensively managed remnant urban green spaces, enabling natural regeneration is crucial to sustain ecosystem functioning and associated services. Natural regeneration therefore offers an important lens into ecological resilience in human-modified landscapes. Here [the authors] present one of the most comprehensive field-based assessments of urban plant diversity in the Afrotropics, comprising over 25,000 naturally regenerating woody plant individuals of 206 species (39% native) across 329 vegetation patches in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Landscape-level native species diversity declined with greater building complexity, density and socio-economic development, whereas exotic species showed no consistent associations with determinants of urban characteristics. Native species richness was highest in ‘sacred’ forest fragments, many of which contain historic remains dating back to pre-colonial times. Notably, seven of the ten most species-rich patches were located in such sites. [Their] findings highlight the potentially important role of these sites in sustaining native species diversity and indicate how socio-cultural factors can present both opportunities and barriers for tropical urban conservation and restoration...”

I bought a kilo of local robusta coffee beans while I was in #Madagascar
I know people tend to be arabica snobs, but once I dialed in the grind and brew I have to say the robusta is pretty good!
It’s like #coffee from an alternate dimension!

Second-hand goods for sale in my neighborhood. "Germinal" looks like a good film, if only I had a VHS deck. I'm not sure those 45s are playable.

The Lemurians of Mount Shasta: A Visit to the Hidden Country
California's mystic volcano has tenants no census has ever counted. An inquiry into where they live, how they live, why they live, and what happened when I went up to ask. Drive north out of Redding on Interstate 5 and the land begins rehearsing for something. The pines close ranks, the grade climbs, and then the forest opens and the mountain is simply there: fourteen thousand feet of snow and andesite standing alone above the valley floor, keeping no company on that horizon, rising nearly ten thousand feet above everything around it. Joaquin Miller saw it in the 1850s and gave it the sentence it has never escaped: "Lonely as God, and white as a winter moon." A mountain that looks like that collects tenants, and for a hundred years the most famous tenants of Mount Shasta have been a hidden people.

Little bird in my yard one recent morning wasn't doing so well. I put it in the sun where the dogs couldn't harass it. Later it was gone.

The Dizzy Brains
https://amf.didiermary.fr/dizzy-brains-maso-mahita/
The Dizzy Brains is a garage rock band, as there are many around the world, except they are from Madagascar, one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the world.The quartet started their music career 10+ years ago in Antananarivo. Their latest album, Maso Mahita (“the eyes that see”), was released in September 2024. […]
