Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it. - Terry Pratchett



Notice Board



Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

Fuck clickbait

For the last four months, Mousdikoudine and her two children have had little or no running water in their home on the French territory of Mayotte, and island of around 310,000 people in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa, between Mozambique and the island of Madagascar.

Mayotte is genuinely running out of water though. Between the droughts, the terrible infrastructure and the government not giving a fuck about it, it's most likely that it'll end in a tragedy.
Keep in mind that Mayotte is a fully integrated French department, it's as much a part of France as Paris and yet they're mostly being left to fend off for themselves.
