From floods across South and South-East Asia to toxic fire haze and typhoons battering East Asia, climate disasters are hitting millions. Fossil fuels are supercharging the chaos: homes destroyed, harvests lost, communities cut off and blackouts leaving families without power. Meanwhile, polluters cash in. Make polluters PAY. Time to END the age of fossil fuels. #makepolluterspay #asia #eastasia #thailand #japan #india #philippines #fossilfuels #climatechange #climatecrisis #floods #smoke

Thailand is Asia's unequivocal champion for LGBTQ+ equality and rights. On 23 January 2025, Thailand's Marriage Equality Act came into force, marking a turning point for the entire region. By amending the Civil and Commercial Code to replace "men and women" with "individuals" and "husband and wife" with "marriage partners," Thailand did more than pass a law as it fundamentally rewrote the definition of legal recognition in the country. Same-sex couples since that time enjoy full rights: financial protections, medical decision-making power, inheritance, tax benefits, and the right to jointly adopt children. Hundreds of couples registered their marriages on day one alone, with over 150 ceremonies held in a single Bangkok shopping mall, a joyous, public declaration that love deserves no barriers. Thailand's leadership extends beyond borders. As Asia's cultural powerhouse, Thailand influences entertainment, tourism, media, and social norms across the entire region. When Thailand chooses equality, it signals to neighboring countries that progress is possible, that modernity and inclusivity can strengthen rather than threaten tradition. And Thailand proves it works: open, welcoming cities like Bangkok have long been havens for LGBTQ+ travelers and expats, and now they're legal havens too. This achievement doesn't end the journey, but it sets a direction. A direction where dignity is guaranteed, where families are protected, and where no one is left behind because of who they love. Thailand gave thousands of couples the gift of recognition and gave Asia a roadmap for what's possible. Since that time, Thailand remains a standard-bearer in Asia that takes the lead in advancing LGBTQ+ rights. #LGBTQ #LGBT #Thailand #Asia #HumanRights #society #equality #SoutheastAsia #ราชอาณาจักรไทย #LoveIsLove #แอลจีบีที

@dawid@vebinet.com fwiw, a further fillip to thailand's nice LGBTQI credentials is how well they have catered to the T part of the acronym, being a prime destination for pre-op transwomen from around the world to travel there for our life-saving surgeries ... 2006 being my huge year for this. i have no current info, but hope they have kept up their world-standard hospital facilities & surgical expertise that so many of us around the rock have come to esteem so highly. #thailand #LGBTQI #transition #MtF #PostOp #Transwomen

The Smoky Flying Squirrel (Pteromyscus pulverulentus) is a rare and elusive creature silently and gracefully gliding between the towering canopies of Southeast Asia’s rainforests. With their smoky-grey fur, expansive gliding membrane, and bushy tail, these squirrels are perfectly adapted to a dynamic life on the move in the treetops. Classified as Endangered by the IUCN, their populations are dwindling and at a critical all time low due to habitat destruction from timber logging, palm oil planta
