**World news, outside the US.** Original rationale: unless moderated, internal US news and politics often dominates world news in English, because of its demographic position. This magazine/community is to post news and articles from around the globe, but posts must have a mainly non-US component or focus. Submissions related in some way to the Alan Weisman book *The World Without Us*, which is about what would happen if humans suddenly disappeared from the planet, are also welcome. :)

@jlow this is a lovely south-south cooperation indeed :)

i felt reminded of the mid/late 2000s, when luke douglas rae painted all over honiara airport in solomons, and when his rival john to'o would go all the way to bandung (indonesia), writing and playing music there everyday, and he also painted great murals, fusing pacific and indonesian motives > the world needs more of this! kudos to gonzalo aldana from mexico :)
