#climate patterns

[the-ephemeral-ethereal]

Limits of survival are set by climate, those long drifts of change which a generation may fail to notice. And it is the extremes of climate which set the pattern. Lonely, finite humans may observe climatic provinces, fluctuations of annual weather and, occasionally may observe such things as 'This is a colder year than I've ever known.' Such things are sensible. But humans are seldom alerted to the shifting average through a great span of years. And it is precisely in this alerting that humans learn how to survive on any planet. They must learn climate.

The only small talk I get disproportionately annoyed at and have to like, swallow my fury and be polite because I know it’s just small talk, is when people complain about winter lasting too long when we get winter weather (snow) in late Feb.

It was 50 degrees all December, winter didn’t happen at all, don’t give me any of that shit, marked seasonal change is supposed to happen here. Let me have this.

#winter haters dni #i live in the north east for a reason…or…what used to be a reason #idk man hard to hear people bitch about seasonal change when the normal climate patterns are just actively collapsing #and the summers are getting SO brutal #idk read the room!!

Scientists this week warn that the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current (aka AMOC, contains the Gulf Stream) is closer than they previously predicted, as early as 2025.

This is bad and will lead to ripples in climate, weather patterns, local "normal" temperatures, storm severity, ocean oxygenation and fishery productivity (hello phrase "fish die-offs" 😭), and sea level that will disrupt life as we know it and cannot be reversed in this century or maybe (likely) for centuries to come.

(You can check the Wikipedia page for more information.).

Scream at someone about this.

Go here -- https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ -- or here -- https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials. Start typing. Feel free to use the template I'm putting under the "read more." Press send. Repeat if you have the energy. Ily if you do it even once. Thank you, and keep fighting the good fight!

Dear <NAME OF OFFICIAL>,

<OPTIONAL SENTENCE OR TWO TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF. Say why climate change matters to you. Say if you're frightened. Say if you're depressed. Say if you're anxious. Make it personal.>

This week a study was released (https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/25/world/gulf-stream-atlantic-current-collapse-climate-scn-intl/index.html, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39810-w) showing that the collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is far closer than scientists had previously thought. When this current stops, it will have far-reaching impacts on sea level, weather, storm patterns, and fishery production that will be irreversible for a century or far longer.

I am deeply worried about the future. We need climate change ACTION now, not just voluntary incentive programs. Please take action to improve our electrical grid, transition our power plants to clean fuels, transition to clean modes of transportation, and tax carbon emissions.

Sincerely,

<YOUR NAME HERE>

So, by the way, does anyone have sources for really solid historical documentation on traditional outfits from the SWANA region, especially before colonialism happened, and very preferably from first hand fashion researchers? I'm trying to build myself a small collection to understand what the hell I'm doing when I'll attempt redesigning OoT gerudos a little (keeping some elements but making them les… Like This), but a lot of what I find is from european scholars. If you have any book or series or text or anything that you think might be a staple of that particular subject, I'm super interested!

#thoughts #gerudos #historical fashion #thralls of power #animatic project #there are iconic patternings and jewlery and a lot of emphasis on makeup and I think that's super cool so this will stay #and I'll try to make sure canon characters are recognizable + keep the Ocarina of Time Weird Character Art Factor #but overall I'd love to make it all just feel a little more consistent with their actual inspirations #and the climate/circomstances they live in #aka you're not protected against the sun + the cold + even that kind of hot weather #+ do you REALLY want to charge into battle belly soft and exposed #(also at some point there will be a time skip which means weeee!!!

of all the questions i thought to trip me up with writing this story, the "did the ancient lost city of akkad probably experience much in the way of thunderstorms?" to be the one that i'd have to pay nasa for to read a paper of even passing reliability

#i figured ''okay well the generally-agreed-upon location is like. vaguely babylon-adjacent so start there'' #first hurdle is that there is a babylon in new york and everyone on google dot com is dying to tell me about its weather patterns #second hurdle is the clearly-ai-generated content #third hurdle is ''semi-arid climate with hot summers“ which is like. great! we're getting somewhere #and then you run into the brick wall of ''the climate changing in the middle east probably led to the fall of the empire'' #so like. what was the climate before then mister google dot com. what was the climate before. #i thought i knew what kind of climate these cities sprang up within. i thought i already had this knowledge. #i just want to know if thunderstorms were a yearly occurrence or more of a once-in-a-decade rarity! that's all! #why is this a complicated question!

Okay, I know I haven't even cut into the fabric for my feanorian jacket yet, but also what if I made a super simple green linen duster and embroidered gold flowers on the cuffs and called it my arafinwian jacket??

#The nolofinwian jacket is of course my blue and yellow stars quilt jacket #San sews #San shoots the breeze #The feanorian jacket is partially on hold because I keep debating finesse the pattern fit #And because I'm indecisive re: sleeve length #(Long feels more on-theme but short is more practical for my climate and the denim is already *heavy*)

I spent three days camping without news, thinking about my own little life only, and that felt really good. But my empathy for the rest of the earth slammed back into me three times as hard the minute I remembered this morning that there's still a completely stoppable genocide on and every day the biosphere is marching into a manmade incinerator that we no longer have the power to turn off. And the collective We won't do anything about it because we're so far removed from power that most of us realistically can't make meaningful change without upending our lives and families. And the minority They in power through greed won't do anything about it because it isn't profitable, it doesn't serve the end of unrelenting artificial growth above all else. Our collective organism is undeniably diseased and bleeding out and dying and daily life just goes on for most of us. We can't even give ourselves the benefit of a few years of humanity and peace and pleasure before the earth is completely uninhabitable. It's misery all the way down until we're all dead. We'll die starving at our desks with half the world on fire. I fucking hate this place sometimes.

The Chilling Effect of the Polar Vortex: A Winter Phenomenon Strikes Regina, Saskatchewan, and Beyond

Shaina Tranquilino

January 20, 2024

As winter settles in across the Northern Hemisphere, intense cold snaps and frosty weather systems are not uncommon. However, every few years, a particularly extreme weather event occurs that captures headlines worldwide – the polar vortex. Recently, this frigid phenomenon has unleashed its icy grip on numerous regions, including Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada. In this blog post, we will explore what exactly the polar vortex is, how it affects our lives, and why it's important to understand this chilling meteorological occurrence.

Understanding the Polar Vortex:

The polar vortex is an area of low pressure situated near the Earth's poles. It is characterized by strong winds circulating counterclockwise around a center of extremely cold air. These winds form a tight spiral pattern high up in the atmosphere known as the jet stream.

Normally confined to the Arctic region during winter months, occasionally these powerful winds weaken or shift southward due to complex atmospheric dynamics. This results in a sudden intrusion of bitterly cold arctic air into lower latitudes — a phenomenon experts refer to as a "polar outbreak" or "polar vortex event."

The Impact on Regina and Beyond:

Regina, located in central Canada's prairies and often referred to as one of the coldest cities in the country, experienced firsthand the brutal effects of the polar vortex. As temperatures plummeted well below freezing point (reaching as low as -50°C), everyday life ground to a halt. Transportation was disrupted or delayed, and residents were advised to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary.

But Regina wasn't alone; other parts of North America also fell under the influence of this winter nightmare. States such as Texas faced unprecedented snowfall and record-breaking low temperatures that crippled infrastructure unprepared for extreme winter conditions. Similarly, Europe witnessed heavy snowfalls and sub-zero temperatures, causing travel chaos and affecting millions of people.

Coping with the Vortex:

During a polar vortex event, it is crucial to prioritize safety and take appropriate measures to protect oneself from the extreme cold. Staying indoors, dressing in layers, ensuring adequate heating, and avoiding unnecessary exposure are all vital precautions. Furthermore, maintaining communication with neighbours, especially vulnerable individuals such as the elderly or those without proper shelter, becomes essential.

Understanding Climate Change's Role:

While it may seem counterintuitive that global warming could cause severe cold spells like the polar vortex event, climate change plays a role in its occurrence. The melting Arctic ice due to rising global temperatures weakens the jet stream, causing it to become wavier and allowing frigid air masses to escape the poles more frequently. As a result, these events can intensify due to climate change but remain sporadic and unpredictable.

The recent polar vortex event has left Regina and various parts of the world shivering in an icy grip. Understanding this meteorological phenomenon helps us recognize its impact on our daily lives while appreciating the importance of preparedness during such extreme weather events. By taking necessary precautions and fostering community support, we can navigate through these frosty times together until warmer days return.

Note: It is important to keep up with local news sources and official guidelines regarding any current or future polar vortex events for accurate information and safety instructions in your specific region.

okay the thing with the coast poll is that my tags were mostly joking cuz I do expect it to be a contest of where you've lived and I respect that so I'm not actually mad HOWEVER I saw some of the comments and as a person who has lived on both, I am thereby qualified to ask, IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE IS THE EAST COAST MORE TEMPERATE. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DEFINITION OF TEMPERATE.

#I lived in boston the winter of '15. do not fucking tell me that coast is TEMPERATE. #like yes you can comment that it's not as hot over there #(even tho imo higher temperatures are more tolerable on the west coast cuz it's lower humidity which is why it's better) #and also it used to be that it didn't even get hot enough that you needed a/c. MY PARENTS' HOUSE IN SOCAL STILL DOESN'T HAVE A/C. #but Y'ALL HAVE HURRICANES AND NOR'EASTERS. 'TEMPERATE' IS NOT ABOUT TEMPERATURE IT'S ABOUT STORM SEVERITY #we have SO FEW STORMS to the point that major storms COMPLETELY WRECK OUR INFRASTRUCTURE EVEN TO THE NORTHERNMOST POINT. #like this is also not about which coast is better I am just BEWILDERED BY HOW SOMEONE IS DEFINING TEMPERATE. #frankly wild too considering temperatures across the board are getting higher but the storms are getting WAY WORSE #BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES. CUZ THE WATER IS WARMING. #most new englanders I know like the east coast cuz they ENJOY the snow and are mad the snow patterns have changed. #anyway begging everyone to read more about climate change so you know how climates WORK TO BEGIN WITH

sometimes i see pictures of places I used to live taken when i used to live there and get all I Miss You...... but babe i was a child and MISERABLE

#this is about hashtag lisbon mostly but also porto #i miss you (no i dont)(three bedroom apartment)(13 people sharing)(height of summer) #but also(basil in all the windowsills to stop the flies)(sleeping in a pile next to all my siblings) #(going to the park with the weeping willows and my mom giving us all 1 chupachup)(feeling like a person again after a year at Real School) #(the texture of tiles on the wall)(the murals)(the graffiti)(the river)(sat in a shop and the shopkeep telling me about ceramics in broken #english)(her helping me draw patterns & letting me mix a blue glaze)(the colour of the river and sky)(the heat radiating off the pavement) #(my siblings laugh)(the feeling of being surrounded in a language you barely speak and then understanding something) #(the feeling of joy of having someone try to understand you)(the freckles on my arms)(being told i look like my aunt) #(pretending to drive the hello kitty car in the mall until they stopped letting people go inside it)(many more such memories) #(and it aches) #but i dont miss it (only when i buy basil)(it doesnt grow in this climate)(our house now smells like rosemary) #(and those kids dont call me sister anymore)

I hate that I like alternative fashion(not just the colloquial use of the word, as in anything alternative from mainstream), because I want to wear ALL of them.

Currently my two main styles are my everyday(pretty normie) gay ™ button downs/patterned shirts and my vintage/history inspired clothing(I don’t have as much as I’d like but when I had longer hair, a wet set and red lip went a long way).

But I also DO like alt™ fashion. I know all the cultures are different but I think goth and a little bit of punk are the ones that interest me the most! I just love the alt look of it on other people and I want to see if I like on myself! I just feel like I really don’t know where to begin for the goth stuff. Also yes ,I know the culture is more than the clothing and I’m also interested in those parts too, this post is just focusing on fashion.

I’m also interested in Lolita fashion! I don’t think it’s something I’d do for everyday fashion, but I always keep coming back to it, so I’d love to try it out! Mostly what attracts me to the style is that I already like historical fashion, but I don’t know if there’s a particular sub style I’m interested in. I like when other people do Sweet but doesn’t feel like my vibe. I could maybe see myself doing goth Lolita or more classic/traditional Lolita. Though really, in my mind there’s only one coord idea that I want to do, but it doesn’t really fall neatly into any of the mainstream Lolita styles(I guess pirate would be the closest? there are some JSKs I’ve looked at that could fit my idea).

I also really want to get more into medieval/renaissance fair fashion or more piratey/vampire/vaguely 17th century fashion. I have my vintage style that I want to expand but I do want to play around with more time periods and different ways of modernizing them!

I actually really like my current styles but there’s so much I want to try.

In conclusion I WANT TO UNLOCK ALL THE FASHIONS!!!!!

#sol talks #alt fashion #lolita fashion #history bounding #I’m this close to going to the lace market and buying a blouse #problem is I live in a hot climate but most of the blouses on there are polyester(which isn’t the best for my weather) #though I do find Lolita blouses really do hit the right spot for a modernized version of frilly old-timey clothes #if you’re curious about the coord idea basically I want to do a celistal pirate kinda vibe #I’d probably use AP Magical Horscope Navy as base or something in a similar vibe #or something like the Navy zipper Jsk from the Time Lag World(metamorphosis) #AP’s Astro Regimen could work too #I’m very baby to Lolita so idk how popular or good these JSKs are #I know people don’t like the newer AP stuff #just need a navy and gold jsk perferiably with celistal/metal pattern #but yah I think the idea has potential #the Jsk would need to pair nicely with a more pirate vibe so that I could wear a pirate hat as the headpiece #idk like a treasure plant inspired coord #but maybe that’s a bad coord idk #it feels too experimental and Idk if I have the best eye for styling coords #but regardless of whether or not I ever make a coord #I have to buy myself a blouse cause they’re PERFECT for all my historical/history bounding styles I want to do #might buy some black lipstick as well to experiment with more goth styles #anyways that’s enough rambling about fashion for one day
