Notes
"Endogenic systems" aren't supported here, however we are open to questioning systems :) Psychologically, systems cannot be formed without trauma. If you are experiencing amnesia, identity confusion etc, it is best to speak with a psychologist or another mental health professional.
Homophobia, transphobia, hate speech etc, on our blog will be cause for an instant block.
For our piece of mind: under 16s, please do not follow.

The Gjøa was the first ship to sail through the heavily iced Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in Canada's far north.
She was a herring jakt built in Norway in 1872. She was 21.3 m long, 6.1 m wide and had a speed of 7 knots. She was built of Norwegian wood and named Gjøa after the wife of the first captain Asbjörn Sexe from Haugesund. She was used as a herring trawler on the south-west coast of Norway until 1885, when she was sold to Captain Hans Christian Johannsen from Tromso, who used her as a seal trawler in the Berents Sea.
The Gjøa (x)
In 1901, the inexperienced Roald Amundsen set out to find a cheap but robust ship with which he could launch his ambitious attempt to cross the Northwest Passage. His choice fell on the small but ice-tested Gjøa. Aware of his inexperience, he hired the previous captain and his own Johannsen and sailed with him on a seal hunt to test the Gjøa. After returning to Tromsø, a paraffin engine was installed at the Tromsø shipyard in the winter of 1901/1902, which powered a small propeller. In addition, the hull was further strengthened against ice pressure and the ship was better insulated. In 1902, the ship went to Trondheim, where a fuel tank was installed and finally transferred to Christiania, where she was equipped for the expedition, so that supplies and spare parts were packed for 5 years. On 16 June 1903, the ship finally set sail for the Davis Strait west of Greenland. The crew consisted of six men: Roald Amundsen as expedition leader, 1st officer Godfred Hansen, as 1st mate Helmer Hanssen, as 2nd mate Anton Lund, as 1st engineer Peder Ristvedt, as 2nd engineer Gustav Juel Wiik and as cook Adolf Henrik Lindstrøm.
The Gjøa (x)
After crossing the North Atlantic, she sailed north along the west coast of Greenland, crossed Baffin Bay at Cape York and entered Lancaster Sound. Ice conditions were good and the ship was able to sail swiftly through the sound and the subsequent Barrow Strait. The pack ice to the north of Prince of Wales Island then prohibited further westward travel, so the Gjøa sailed south through Peel Sound east of Prince of Wales Island to King William Island. In September 1903, ice conditions became increasingly difficult, so wintering took place in a natural harbour on King William Island. In 1904, the ice conditions were far worse than the previous year and so the Gjøa was unable to free herself from the ice that year. The crew used the forced stay to explore the surrounding area.
Gjøa during the wintering 1903-1905 in Gjøahavn, King-William-Island (x)
It was not until 1905 that the voyage continued westwards south of KIng William Island and Victoria Island, reaching the Beaufort Sea north of the mouth of the Mackenzie River. In October 1905, ice slowed down the expedition and made it impossible to continue, and the Gjøa froze them again at Herschel Island. On 11 July 1906, the expedition continued west to the Bering Strait and reached Nome, Alaska on 31 August 1906, crossing the Northwest Passage for the first time and arriving in San Francisco as a hero in October 1906. Amundsen and his crew returned to Norway, only the Gjøa the little hero stayed behind. She was acquired by the Norwegian-American Citizenship there and displayed at the Golden Gate Bridge as a museum ship.

Gjøa in the Fram museum (x)
In 1972, she was returned to Norway and has since been housed in the Fram Museum in Oslo.

One more awards show down. We next have the SAG Awards (Feb. 26th), the Independent Spirit Awards (Mar. 4th) and the Oscars (Mar. 12th).
I must say if we get these exact same winners for the major category at the Oscars I would be very happy.
Except for score. If Justin Hurwitz doesn't win an Oscar for the BABYLON score I tear the Dolby down.

Is Martin Freeman's partner going for the Sigourney Weaver in GHOSTBUSTERS look?
*See Emma, if Sir Kenneth Branagh hadn't cheated on you with Helena Bonham Carter you would have never married Greg Wise and in him you found a partner who is game with wearing trainers on the red carpet.

Everyone should look at Angela Bassett like this.
Another mini-reunion: Florence Pugh and her LADY MACBETH costar Naomi Ackie. I highly recommend that movie. It's a whole trip.
Her after-party fit.
I really thought Sophie Turner was Karen Gillen for a moment.
William Gordon Burn Murdoch was born on January 22nd 1862 in Edinburgh.
William went to Edinburgh University he went to study art in Antwerp and Paris. A man of diverse interests, 'WG’ as he was known to family and close friends, was not only an artist but an accomplished piper, explorer, fisherman, hunter, Scottish nationalist, whaler, and writer, or just your average Scottish polymath.
His activities involved him in extensive travels: he described himself as having ‘wandered quite far afield to the Arctic and Antarctic, and even to 'the back parts of Mull’ and also the back parts of China’. Having travelled in different countries, and in a variety of different intellectual spaces in both arts and science, it is hardly surprising that WG has left a substantial and dispersed, body of work and a rich and equally dispersed archive.
His first book, From Edinburgh to the Antarctic, recounted his experiences on the Dundee Antarctic Whaling Expedition of the southern summer of 1892-1893. As a result of the exhibition of paintings he produced of that expedition he was credited by one critic as having been the first artist in residence in the Antarctic regions; he was also one of the first people to play the bagpipes on that continent.
Modern whaling and bear hunting described his experiences as a commercial whaler, and his various hunts for polar bears; he presented a polar bear cub, which he named 'Starboard’, to the Zoological Society of Scotland, another organisation with he was close involved.
From Edinburgh to India and Burmah recounted his journey following the Prince and Princess of Wales on their historic visit to India in 1905-6.
WG’s journey went on to include a voyage up the Irrawaddy to Bhamo and a brief foray by mule-train across the border into China. His books, and his many magazine articles, were written in an idiosyncratic style which often laid emphasised his pride in his native Scotland. His paintings and sketches are in numerous public and private collections, across the British Isles and further afield.
It is impossible to do justice to the range of interests and the consequent diversity of contacts and engagements of Burn Murdoch. Suffice to say that his diverse interests, inspired and fostered by his friend, and sometime patron Patrick Geddes, and his spirit of multi-disciplinary exploration were of the sort which characterised the discipline of geography in the late 19th and early 20th century. Not that WG was typical, he was in many ways a one-off, one of the more colourful, larger than life, characters involved with the subject and with the Society. His published works, his paintings and his archival legacy together provide a fascinating glimpse of the man, of his world, and of geography as it was understood and practiced around the turn of the nineteenth century.
As well as artworks like the Dundee Antarctic Whaling Expedition 1892 as seen in pic 2, his books featured many pencil sketches, some with humour, like the one of him being chased by a polar Bear titled “There’s no place like home”, which tickles me a wee bit!
W.G Burn Murdoch died in 1939 in Edinburgh. He and his wife had lived at Arthur Lodge, where they entertained visitors, including Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott.

your turtle romcom fic was amazing. do you have a fancast for them?
thank you so much, anon - i'm thrilled you enjoyed bookbinding, and i'm always delighted to welcome new members to turtle nation.
i'm never great at fan-casts largely because i can never remember people's names, but also because i often have incredibly specific ideas in my mind about how these characters look which i find very difficult to then actually explain. but still... let's get into it:
myrtle
one of my least favourite aspects of the writing of the harry potter series is the fact that characters we are supposed to find unsympathetic are always, always written as some combination of fat, ugly, unintelligent, and inarticulate.
i understand the watsonian explanation that harry-as-narrator is a teenager and teenagers are kind of dicks. i understand the doylist genre reasons for this - jkr is not the first children's author to make use of such tropes, and they are certainly used with a lighter touch in hp than in, for example, roald dahl - and i also understand the reasons specific to the series' central mystery, in which snape's ugliness [the marker of his apparent villainy] actually conceals the fact he is one of the narrative's heroes.
the reverse is, of course, used with tom himself - harry's trust in tom riddle's memory of framing hagrid in chamber of secrets is established right at the start of the scene by harry's comment that they both have jet-black hair; harry's profound empathy with riddle's past in the memory scenes shown in half-blood prince completely disappears when voldemort returns for his job interview and is "no longer handsome tom riddle".
all of which is to say, i do not vibe with the fact that myrtle is written in the text in a way which presents her appearance as a moral failing. this was the decision behind two key points made in bookbinding - that myrtle doesn't lose weight and it literally doesn't matter, and that beauty standards change and a young woman considered unattractive in the forties was not considered unattractive at other points in human history.
tom notes that she looks like a renaissance painting, specifically da vinci's lady with an ermine:
and as for current people, i think bella ramsey would work as casting for school-age myrtle - in particular because they are absolutely tiny and it is very important to me that tom is being constantly hen-pecked by someone who barely comes up to his shoulders.
tom
i find fan-casting tom extremely difficult, in particular because - and i accept this might be unpopular - i find that many of the preferred fan-casts and fan-art interpretations always look far too masculine. [this is particularly the case in tomarry, one of my favourite ships, in which harry "i have anger issues, am a jock, and aspire to be a cop" potter is far too often this tiny, feminine damsel-in-distress, and tom "i would love the chance to be a mammy's boy, spent my teenage years in the library, and create anagrams of my own name for fun" riddle is far too often a pile of twitching muscle intent on snapping him like a twig.]
the things we're told in canon about tom's appearance are that he has dark eyes and black hair and "finely-carved" features, looks a bit like harry, looks exactly like his dilf of a father, and is really hot. we are also told that both he and the later voldemort are very tall, extremely thin, softly spoken, and have a certain elegance of movement. all of which, to me, suggests that we are not dealing with the buff greek god of so many interpretations, but someone who is, in reality, slightly effete.
this fan art by @arcynist:
and this by @erichthaxa:
are 100% how i picture him. especially the being covered in blood part.
so, in terms of fan-casting, find your favourite slightly-androgynous-leaning male model i guess...
