Hi folks! There hasn't been any misbehavior in this community, nor to be frank do I expect any, but it's good to have redundancy, cover more time zones, etc... in case of spambots and the like. I'm looking to add a couple more mods!

I don't have many metrics by which to choose fellow mods (such as the age of the account) so all you need to apply and get picked is to be active in this community (which means contribute posts and/or comments... the more quality contributions you've made the more likely you're to get picked). I'm CET, btw.

If you want to guard this community and help it stay a cozy place, apply here in the comments to become a mod. Feel free to add any additional reason why you think you should be picked! Are you a geographer? ~~Are you power hungry?~~ Are you ~~glued to your computer~~ an internet enthusiast? Apply now!

Applications will be open for a while until I pick a couple of peeps.

Article:

Sleigh’s career as an artist had one sole throughline: fairies. Some of his interest in Fairyland evidently stemmed from medical trauma. In the late 1890s, he developed an abscess in his inner ear. Doctors trepanned him, drilling a hole in his skull, and, ever after, he would see otherworldly things.


That site has lots of maps online:

[Note: You may have to turn off labels from the overlay menu at top right]

I had accidentally come across a map without any labels or borders and made me search a bit about such maps.

It really is cool seeing the earth without any kind of human borders or labels, just a plain satellite view. I find it very calming:)

An other map without labels (apart from two pins that can be turned off from the bottom or left of the screen) is this one: https://www.scribblemaps.com/maps/view/No-label-map/jtlp6Ps5Re

You could try google earth pro and turn off every label/border etc.

We need some state names for these. A few -stans would be appropriate as well.

Leo Belgicus (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

The Leo Belgicus (Latin, 'Belgic Lion') was used in both heraldry and map design to symbolize the former Low Countries (current day Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and a small part of northern France) with the shape of a lion.
