Just stumbled upon the Cineplex announcement on Youtube for the M9 Echoes of the Solstice oneshot and goddamn if the opening of the C2 intro song doesn't still give me chills

Song: ROLE (role) CRITICAL (critical)~

Winter Solstice 2020

Winter solstice 2020  there was a lot of weird things in the sky that day. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy in Detroit, but my mother took this photo in North Carolina on that day. I just happened to ask her to look out her window since the sky was clear and there was this bright green object moving around the sun.  She sent me the photo and I decided to capture it in this brooch for her.

Song Review: Simple Minds - "Solstice Kiss"

On June 30, 2023, Simple Minds released “Solstice Kiss,” a song from the band’s 18th studio album Direction of the Art that was also featured on The Macallan’s global brand film, The Spirit of 1926. The last time I remember hearing a new song by Simple Minds was 1995’s “She’s A River,” so when I saw that the band had released a new song recently, I was quite curious to hear what they had to offer…

The Shortest Day - Welcome, Yule!

What better way to spend the longest night than around a nice campfire and some hot chocolate, under the stars? (I wish! But I'll live vicariously through the Pines, as usual.)

Kind of an update of a similar piece I did in 2020; and in a way, kind of a sequel, I guess.

With the winter solstice past, the days grow longer once again. But winter isn't done with us yet, so keep those warm drinks coming!

not to be extremely out of left field for this blogs, uh, "style" if you can call it that, but i forgot how much smoking weed genuinely impacted my spiritual practice

#tw drugs #tw drug mention #tw weed #but uh seriously though when i was starting to explore my spirituality very seriously in 2020 i used to sit outside on the porch in june #and smoke and talk to thor #and i forgot how much that genuinely gave me a feeling of peace and security and kept me in a pretty regular spiritual practice with thor #especially in 2021 when my sister had a camper in the woods #it was such an important place of peace for me to be out in the forest alone and have the lightning and thunderstorms sort of like hover #around this time of year we always start getting these great thunderstorms that take all day to build up and brew #like you can almost feel nature changing around the solstice #which sorry if this sounds like stoner babble but i really do genuinely hate living in the city because i cant smoke outside anymore #but right now im sitting in my loft and smoking and a storm has been brewing all day long #and we have this great loft but we had to stop smoking in the apartment because the neighbors can smell it #which #i really shouldnt be doing this right now but god dammit dude lol #im in a very transitional phase with life at the moment so its really nice to sit by the open window and smell the storm coming #especially after watching it brew all day #and i just heard the first crack of thunder #im trying to be a courteous neighbor so we had to quit smoking at the beginning of april so i do kind of feel bad about doing this #lmao but right now im just doing what i used to do in the woods just in my city loft #i used to be able to smoke at my old apartment because all of our neighbors also smoked so i loved smoking in the city before #but now that we cant its been pretty hard #especially since this is how i used to sort of meditate with thor #id sit outside in the dark and put on some rock music on my phone speaker and just totally clear my mind #i want to move to the woods somewhere to be completely honest #but at the same time it is legal for me to smoke here and im not violating our lease and im blowing it straight out the window #anyway sorry for the rambling tags but yknow how it is lol #anyway im listening to tenacious d while typing this for context lmao #but im just gonna sit up here until it starts to rain and then go upstairs when i have to shut the window when the rain comes #and play animal crossing lmao

A Year of Sunrises : Does the Sun always rise in the same direction? No. As the months change, the direction toward the rising Sun changes, too. The featured image shows the direction of sunrise every month during 2021 as seen from the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The camera in the image is always facing due east, with north toward the left and south toward the right. As shown in an accompanying video, the top image was taken in 2020 December, while the bottom image was captured in 2021 December, making 13 images in total. Although the Sun always rises in the east in general, it rises furthest to the south of east on the December solstice, and furthest north of east on the June solstice. In many countries, the December Solstice is considered an official change in season: for example the first day of winter in the North. Solar heating and stored energy in the Earth's surface and atmosphere are near their lowest during winter, making the winter season the coldest of the year. via NASA

The Twitter Mari Lwyd saga (2019 - part two)

Since people seem to be happy that I'm copying over the Mari Lwyd sagas, have another transcription! This is for the second round of 2019, between @seananmcguire and @kbspangler. Part one is here, the source to this round starts here.

(Seriously, these aren't mine, they're the property of @seananmcguire, @tkingfisher, + @kbspangler, I'm just transcribing so extra records exist. Support their works!)

That being said, if anyone can find the 2020 Twitter thread, can you send me a link so I can transcribe it (or transcribe it and link me)? It has been found! Thanks to @dor-min for finding the thread, it's going to take me a bit to transcribe.

the very Sacred Oak Flat is in danger of becoming an open pit copper mine. turning a sacred site into a 1000-ft pit. Apache Leap, ancient petroglyphs, extremely important rituals since time began; these things are Oak Flat. the federal government is ignoring many legal protections as well, including 200 yr old treaty promising to protect the land forever, national park designation, and on the national register of historic places. this project is so, so evil. I want people to know about it. Please read, talk, care about it.

Nice, thank you. The impending destruction of Chi'chil Bildagoteel by the US government and one of the planet's most infamous mining companies.

Over the past 3 years, I’ve written here about defense of Oak Flat, also called Chi'chil Bildagoteel by Chiricahua Apache from San Carlos reservation. (A summary of the site’s importance and history. A summary of the legal challenges to the mine. A summary of Apache Stronghold and other Indigenous-led campaigns. A photo collection featuring Indigenous-led actions in February 2021.) But all of these posts predate the developments that have occurred from the beginning of 2022 until now (March 2023). And the legal case, the fate of the site, is about to be settled this very month.

Well, then, there’s Rio Tinto, the copper mining leviathan, despised across the planet, bane of Australia, so-called Rhodesia, Latin America, Papua, etc. They're the second-largest metals/mining company on the planet. For well over a century, open-pit copper mines have been infamous for the scale of their destruction and I like how you describe it: giant pits, gaping wounds. Oak Flat is destined to belong to Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto. Just before widespread news of Rio Tinto’s interest in Oak Flat, Rio Tinto had earned an especially-notorious reputation for destroying Indigenous/Aboriginal sites in Australia. A summary of the news about the “atrocity” at Juukan Gorge, when in May 2020, Rio Tinto destroyed an important sacred cultural site containing Indigenous shelters over 45,000 years old, and Rio Tinto leaders apparently had foreknowledge of the area’s cultural importance. Here’s a look at what is perhaps the oldest surviving human art on the planet, some petroglyphs and shelters up to 50,000 years old, being destroyed by the truly astonishing scale and diversity of destructive mining operations in Western Australia. And here’s a look at many other ancient and modern Indigenous sacred sites being destroyed by mining in that region.

Sacred Land Film Project put together some informational graphics:

Anyway, a basic summary.

Originally, this mine was kinda known as, like, “the John McCain Land-Grab Deal” because Senator McCain sold out the state of Arizona and Indigenous people by basically promising a formal transfer of land and the creation of what would become a major mining site at Oak Flat. Mining in the Oak Flat area was technically prohibited decades earlier by an Eisenhower presidential/executive order, but in December 2014, McCain sneaked a hidden last-minute rider onto a must-pass defense spending bill.

In May 2020, Rio Tinto gets caught destroying those sites at Juukan Gorge.

So, in October 2020, Indigenous activists discovered that the supposed date of the land transfer finalization had been quietly and suddenly moved up like a full year, meaning that the site might have become a mine beginning in December 2020 or January 2021.

At this point, the Oak Flat mine was becoming known as, like, “Trump’s Rushed/Hurried Mining Deal,” since the Trump presidential administration seemed to want to quickly act on the mine before any potential presidential transfer of power might occur in January 2021, “just in case” they lost the November 2020 election.

So this is when Apache Stronghold and other Native advocates really started finally getting national recognition in headlines. They organized a Day of Action and statewide events around the Solstice in 2020, and by January 2021, they had forced the case into court.

In the January 2021 case of Apache Stronghold v. United States, an Arizona judge ruled against Native advocates, but advocates got the case heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. While the case was being argued, in February 2021, Apache Stronghold also participated in a newsworthy relay from Oak Flat to the courthouse in Phoenix, when Native advocates held a candlelight vigil.

But in March 2021, the US Forest Service announced that it was temporarily withdrawing its environmental impact assessments for the land transfer, putting the mine on hold.

In October 2021, the three judges on the appeals court ruled against Apache Stronghold again.

Over a year later, in November 2022, the court then announced something unusual: The court was willing to rehear the case en blanc (before a panel of all 11 judges).

And now, “Biden’s attorneys” will be arguing against Apache Stronghold and for the land transfer.

Throughout this entire process, Apache Stronghold has consistently been vocal, active, and dedicated to stopping it.

Here are some headlines from the past couple of years:

And from March 2023, this headline, one more time, for impact:

So, beginning on 21 March 2023, the case is being heard, again, for what is presumably the final time, with US government attorneys arguing that the land will belong to the mining companies by summer 2023.
