Endurance frozen in the ice, 1914-1917. Frank Hurley Platinum print.

The Endurance was an exploration ship that became trapped in pack ice in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica in 1915. It was Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The ship was squeezed by the ice for ten months before being crushed, but the crew all survived.

#it’s Iditarod season that means it’s ALL MY POLAR EXPLORATION FEELINGS SEASON #also tbh this would be a valid option for an eventual Endurance tattoo #Shackleton #waxjism I’m feeling very identified by your recent arctic and Antarctic posting habits

FUCKING HELLO?

- jessie holmes (current race leader as of now, 3:37 pm EST, first out of Rainy Pass) punched a moose in the face

- dallas seavey, previous 6x champion (currently in 3rd and in Rainy Pass checkpoint) killed the moose and, per rules, had to field dress it

- paige drobney (currently 4th, somewhere between Finger Lake and Rainy Pass) then later RAN OVER THE MOOSE WITH HER TEAM

#I fucking love Iditarod season #March madness let’s goooooo #I prefer this moose chaos to the human/snow-machine chaos of a few years ago #Iditarod #I miss the iditapod so much

I got a phone call from the police station about my teenage llama this week, telling me some tourists had called them upon seeing a llama crossing the road, who “stopped when she saw us” and “refused to give way” (their complaint in French sounded amazingly traffic-related, “elle n’a pas cédé le passage”…) The policeman told them yeah that’s our Pampe! don’t worry about it she’s living her life, you can try to pet her but she’s shy with strangers… Imagine calling the police about a llama refusing to abide by basic road rules and being told haha that’s our girl! Give her a pat for me! Pampérigouste, you are very annoying and very loved.

I started following that road looking for her, occasionally calling her with my special I Come Bearing Muesli whistle (and it was a lie), and as soon as I got mobile reception I received a text from a neighbour telling me “Ton affreuse est là” (“your horrible one is here”). I turned around to go pick her up, and discovered that he had locked her in the Horny Bull Pen, aka his most securised enclosure. When Pampe escapes to his farm just to be a pest she usually hangs out with his cows until I arrive and he doesn’t mind, so it was a little joke, and it was so funny finding Pampe languishing in a high-security prison. She looked very put out and I told her she absolutely deserved her sentence. Then I opened the gate and I didn’t even need my rope, she was happy to be pardoned and to see Pandolf, and followed us readily, on the road and then through the woods to my farm, it felt so companionable, the three of us walking home together.

honestly the reason why so many feminists get ridiculously upset when trans women correctly point out the transmisogyny problems within the movement (except the fact that they just flat up hate us ofc) is because most people who identify as feminists or put “feminist” in their twitter bio or whatever don’t actually want to be part of a global political movement dedicated to dismantling gendered violence worldwide, they want to be part of a pop culture club with a common enemy (Ew boys!!) where meghan trainer will make #girlboss songs about how cool and strong we all are. the actual long term goals of feminism have been condensed down into individualist capitalistic liberties that only extend to like, middle class white cis women who go on tinder dates

#sometimes it’s nice to be reminded why feminism is revolutionary and what it means to be part of a whole #living in a relatively normal and traditional world and social circle—even tho my social circle is in some ways much more liberal #and verging on revolutionary ideas than many—I sometimes lose my angry global feminism perspective #global both as in issues around the globe and as in issues that are local but broader than fun individualism! #anyway that’s that for the evening #feminism

TIL that the Hoover Dam is expected to be one of the last remaining visible structures from our species, and it contains a star map that if no other means were available, could be used to determine the exact date on which Hoover Dam was completed.

US State Showdown Quarterfinals

We're getting close, gang! Vote in the four tournaments listed below to advance your favorite states to the semifinals. Polls will last 24 hours.

Alaska vs Massachusetts Oregon vs Minnesota California vs Colorado Hawai'i vs Pennsylvania

Reminders:

Only officially-recognized US states are being included (so not DC), and I'm including all 50 because while I acknowledge that Hawai'i is a sovereign nation under illegal colonial rule, this tournament is just for fun. Leaving Hawai'i out of a popularity contest with no material stakes to make a political statement seems counterproductive and performative to me, especially when you consider that (nuances of Hawai'i's specific situation aside) all of our states are on stolen land and shouldn't exist. With that in mind, if anyone has any Hawai'ian or other indigenous mutual aid funds they'd like to promote please feel free to add them to this post and look through the notes for ways you can help out!

Gentle trash talk is encouraged, but let’s not get classist or dunk on people who are being actively oppressed by Republican governments who can’t vote them out due to gerrymandering and voter suppression. I’m looking at you, blue state big city liberals. I’m a gay Jewish leftist who lives in and loves Montana and if you get nasty I WILL block you.

The tag to blacklist is #us state showdown

Round One | Round Two | Round Three

#I have come to this party late and I scoured that whole bracket to see if I could get randomly up in arms about a loss #us state showdown #and I’ve gotta say this far all the decisions are pretty legit… #EXCEPT WYOMING SHOULD HAVE DUNKED LOUISIANA #ITS GOT TWICE AS MANY COWS AS PEOPLE #FUCK YOUR RICH CULTURAL HISTORY HAVE U GOT A SUPERVOLCANO #there’s some joke in here about the Luisiana Purchase and the French naming the Grand Tetons but I’m not quite sure what it is #anyway this is my random state beef for this event I’ve come to belatedly #also Alaska deserves to win and we all know it GO ALASKA
