The #NevisIsland Tourism Authority announced yesterday about the recognition of Golden Rock Inn among 15 Best #LuxuryResorts and Hotels in the #Caribbean region. The list is published by a print and digital publication ‘AFAR’. https://tinyurl.com/4a7dhwms

St Kitts and #NevisIsland has executed an Amended Power Purchase Agreement with project developer #SOLEC Power Ltd. The agreement is executed for a solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Project, which will be the largest in the #Caribbean. https://tinyurl.com/mr2ckczc

Climatologist at the Barbados-based Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), Dr Cédric Van Meerbeeck, noted that the Caribbean is accustomed to heat, but warned at the 2023 to 2024 Dry Season Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum (CariCOF) that the higher temperatures are negatively impacting residents of the region.

St. Kitts - #NevisIsland, in the eastern #Caribbean, is an island of thick rain forests and sunny beaches. But during its early colonial era it was blanketed with sugar plantations that were farmed by enslaved African people. https://tinyurl.com/mss97mc8

A leading #Caribbean bank has approved the replacement of #QueenElizabeth’s image on #EasternCaribbean (EC) currency. The St Kitts - #NevisIsland based Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (#ECCB) says its Monetary Council has approved the changes and say flags of Caribbean nations could be used instead. https://tinyurl.com/4hct8cwn

I'm working on a map for my middle grade novel, "Saving Scrumpy." It's set on the fictitious Caribbean island of Caye Caneen, which is inspired by Caye Caulker, Belize.

Making a map is fun but also more challenging than I expected, when it comes to deciding what to put on the map and what to leave off. If I put everything I wanted on it, it would be an unreadable mess. Maybe. Or would it be wonderfully detailed?

The #BlackBrigade of 3,000+ freed slaves from American colonies were also evacuated, in violation of the #Paris peace treaty that ended the #AmericanRevolutionaryWar. C’est dommage! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Today in Labor History November 23, 1733: A slave insurrection began on St. John, in what was then the Danish West Indies. 150 African slaves from Akwamu, in present-day Ghana, revolted against the plantation owners. It was one of the earliest and longest slave rebellions in the Americas, lasting into August, 1734. During the revolt, they captured the fort in Coral Bay and controlled of most of the island, including other Africans, who they intended to use as their own slave labor. However, the Akwamu were eventually defeated by a larger and better-armed militia of French and Swiss troops from Martinique.

Hawksbill sea turtle is critically endangered. We went to a turtle sanctuary. (Will show my sketches later.) The guy running the sanctuary seemed to like my sketches.
It is a small operation run by 2 men. They release dozens of turtles a year.

I regret only giving $10USD. I could have given him so much more.
This is such important work, more important than what I need the money for.

Then high up in the mountainside (beautiful view of the sea and the near village). Visiting friends and family. STEEP steep roads and houses. Cliffs around.

I went to go admire the tropical flower bushes and the yachts and cruise ships in the harbor.
A van-bus whips around a hairpin corner straight at me, 10 ft away.
All I could manage to think was "I WANT TO LIVE!!!" as I almost threw myself into the ditch.
Well here's the plant I almost died to look at. 😭 #blackmastodon #caribbean

Some of the streets are barely one car wide on side streets. And you have two cars going opposite directions at breakneck speed.
A family member was driving us around. A blue van was coming directly at us FAST. I involuntarily began to pray. And my mind went blank.

And at the last second both cars avoided eachother deftly. I think... they were communicating telepathically?

The first time I almost died on this island. (There have been a few more times.) 😭
#blackmastodon #caribbean

There are no sidewalks on this island. There are ditches for downpour water to get to the sea. And then there are cliffs.
And somehow, the pedestrians, cows, chickens, goats and stray dogs coexist with these "buses" without someone getting killed???

The chickens, cows, goats and stray dogs know when to cross the road. And there's just some unspoken understanding between the pedestrians and drivers??? 😫
#blackmastodon #caribbean

(More about these afro Caribbean islands)
These "buses" and "taxis" drive like the Devil on their heels. Drive like someone owe them money and they MEAN to get it.

But these are roads on the MOUNTAIN. Think mountain goat trails. And they taking these turns like they trying out for a NASCAR team!

And they cram as many as 30 people in these white vans and taxis.
And I'm scared for my life. And NOT of getting kidnapped. 🥴

Saturday, if sunny, get your cameras out!

A swath of the #USA from #Oregon to #Texas is getting a complete solar #eclipse .

Central USA, East coast like me, fear not:

11:30-2:30 we're getting a partial solar eclipse.

What's weird is even with a good percentage of the sun blocked, nothing will seem different because the brightness is still strong and the eyes just adjust and nothing seems off (you need a welder's helmet to look and see it).

So what you want to do is point your #camera *down*:

What happens is all the pinhole shadows from leaves, under trees, will be these little crescents.

You won't even notice it if you weren't looking for it, but once you see it, it's very cool.

#Canada you're in the same boat as the East coast. Northern #Mexico will get a good crescent, #Yucatan will get the full deal. #Caribbean will get like central USA. #CentralAmerica, Northern #Brazil, and #Colombia will get the full show.

On Statues of Christopher Columbus—and the Men Who Raised Them
"This story extends from the islands of the #Caribbean to the settlement that became St. Louis, charting the origins of the statue that stands in Tower Grove Park today. The following text contains many descriptions of graphic violence—the violence that was necessary to impose #European #colonialism white supremacy, #capitalism, and ultimately the sovereignty of the #UnitedStates on this land. Christopher Columbus set this violence in motion; Henry Shaw, the commissioner of the statue in St. Louis and the founder of the Missouri Botanical Garden, perpetuated it—as do those who venerate their legacy today."

Good morning. 🌅🌅🌅

What do you know of caring people? You don't hear about them often because horrid people usually suck up the air. But caring people live among us as well. In that way, I'm lucky. My wife is the most caring person I know. The problem is that people constantly reach out to her with their problems. Some petty, some heart breaking, regardless, my wife always takes their calls. Compassion comes naturally for her, I, on the other hand have to work at it. I'm not sure if it's a lack of compassion so much as being able to sense other people's plight. Maybe, I'm just the Ying to her Yang.

“for there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.” - Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
