"For the first time in my life, I am no longer observing this precarious world from the outside, notebook in hand. I am inside it, dependent on an algorithm, measuring my worth in five-dollar increments." A brave piece of writing worth your time: stevescherer.substack.com/p/my-journey...

An important piece about the 𝘩𝘰𝘸 not the 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵: "Let me be clear. Accountability matters. Ethics matter. Truth matters. But accountability aimed at individuals while systems remain intact is not justice. It is displacement." andypatrick.substack.com/p/photojourn...

The surface cause of the conflict is a decades-long dispute over ancient temples and an ambiguous border. But beneath the nationalist rhetoric lies a more strategic target: the proliferating scam compounds, an industry that accounts for up to 60 percent of Cambodia's economy.
