LA PASIÓN DESVELADA
Dame tu voz antigua en cuyo acento escucho
el rumor de los bosques primitivos,
el canto misterioso de los seres selváticos,
el grito de agonía
de la primera virgen violada.
Dame tu voz antigua donde yo reconozco
mi propia voz extinguida,
aquella que cantaba hace milenios
en las frondosas selvas sin historia,
aquella que sonaba en el murmullo
de las límpidas fuentes intocadas.
Yo fui una gota de agua,
o un pájaro aturdido cruzando el aire nuevo
de la aurora del mundo;
acaso un pez de oro sobre cuyas escamas
probó el sol la dorada destreza de sus rayos.
Mas era ya la misma doliente criatura
que ahora soy, consumida de sueños y tristezas,
en el ardiente caos del Paraíso,
con los ojos abiertos al secreto de Dios.
Es tu voz el puente por donde regreso,
milenios y milenios traspasando,
a mi libre existencia de agua fresca,
de verde candidez. Mi carne gime
escuchando tu voz como si oyera
la llamada lejana y misteriosa
de las tribus sin nombre. Rituales
de sangre y fuego en el brutal nocturno,
aullidos fugitivos y, en la hierba,
mi cuerpo -¿de mujer?, ¿de reptil?, ¿de insecto?-
hollado por la bárbara dulzura
de la pasión del mundo.
Susana March, La pasión desvelada

¡Porque yo sé que tengo tanto amor en los brazos! Así me pesan, hondos, graves como la vida, un hijo o un amante, o un ramo de jazmines, o un retazo de viento, o el talle de una amiga.

The Survivors (Part 1)
In alphabetical order.
The photos and some of the information are from Sociedad de la Nieve
Tumblr media
Born on April 19th 1948, “Fito” Strauch used to play for the Old Christians rugby team, but he didn’t at the time of the crash. He was invited on the trip by his cousin Eduardo Strauch.
He was part of the trio known as “the cousins” (Fito, Eduardo and Daniel Fernandez). Fito and Eduardo were double cousins, as their mothers were sisters and their fathers were brothers, whose sister was Daniel’s mother.
The cousins played an essential leadership role in the mountains, as they took the responsibility of cutting the meat off the dead bodies and rationing the portions.
Fito had many brilliant ideas. The boys had a hard time melting snow, as shaking handfuls in a bottle was far too arduous and tiring in the rarefied air of the mountains. Fito figured out that each plane seat had a piece of aluminum that could be folded into a device filled with snow, which was then left in the sun to melt. The resulting water would then be poured into a bottle.
He also came up with the idea of tying seat cushions to their feet so they could walk on snow without sinking to their waist. As if those were not enough, he manufactured sunglasses with pieces of nylon taken from the seats and glass cut from the front windows of the plane (the ones in the cockpit, which were a shade darker than the windows in the cabin)
Tumblr media
Born on November 1st 1947, “Pancho” Delgado was a law student. He was invited on the trip by his friend Gaston Costemalle, who played for the Old Christians rugby team.
Due to his eloquence, the other survivors asked him to address the journalists in the press conference held upon their return to Uruguay and explain their decision to eat the bodies of their dead friends.
The book “Alive” by Piers Paul Read paints an unfavorable picture of Pancho, claiming he already had a “lawyer’s mind” and hoarded food behind everyone’s back. In his own book, however, fellow survivor Nando Parrado comes to his defense, saying that all survivors - due to the desperate circumstances they found themselves in - tried to take advantage of the others at some point, but Pancho was resented the most because he got away with it more often.
Pancho had a girlfriend at the time of the crash, Susana Sartori. The couple eventually got married and had four children (María Federica, Alfredo, Joaquín and Agustina).
Tumblr media
Born on March 31st 1953, Alvaro wasn’t part of the team nor did he attend the Stella Maris private school as most of the survivors. He knew some of the other passengers on a superficial level, as they lived in the same rich neighborhood in Montevideo. I have yet to find out why he was on the trip at all, but as soon as I do I’ll update you guys.
He broke his left leg when the plane crashed. Fellow survivor Roberto Canessa, a medical student, did his best to put the bones back into their places. Throughout the 72 days, Alvaro remained close to Canessa, who was very protective of him.
Alvaro had a girlfriend at the time of the crash, Margarite Arocena. The couple got married and had four children.
Tumblr media
Born on July 24th 1953, “Tintín” played rugby for the Old Christians and stood out for his physical strength. His volatile personality caused some fights, but he never questioned the group’s decisions.
Because of his strength, Tintín was initially enrolled as one of the survivors who were to leave the fuselage in search of help. After three days, however, his fellow expeditionaries (Roberto Canessa and Nando Parrado) realized the trip was gonna be much longer than anticipated and sent Tintín back to the fuselage so they could keep his portions of meat.
Tumblr media
Born on November 23rd 1951, Bobby was a Stella Maris alumnus and played for Old Christians. He had a very passive attitude towards the whole ordeal, as if he didn’t care whether he lived or died. As soon as the fuselage stopped its descent down the mountainside, Bobby exited the wreckage, sat on the snow and lit a cigarette.
He melted snow when the others forced him to, but didn’t do much else. When the cousins threatened to cut off his supply of meat, Bobby shrugged and said “That seems fair”.
Bobby had six children (Roberto, Federico, Sofía, Josefina, Milagros and Diego) and now lives a quiet life as a farmer.
Tumblr media
Born on October 31st 1953, Carlitos was the son of a famous Uruguayan painter, Carlos Páez Villaró, who searched non-stop for the wreckage of the plane and did not rest until his son was found.
Carlitos was a very spoiled boy (he had a nanny!), but the experience in the Andes built his character and soon enough he was in charge of important tasks such as building a wall made of chairs and suitcases to protect the severed fuselage from the cold and praying the rosary every night with his companions. He also knew how to sew, which came in handy when the survivors decided to make a sleeping bag for the expeditionaries.
Several years after the accident, Carlitos struggled with addiction, but he fortunately bounced back. He has two children, Maria Elena de los Andes and Carlos Diego (named after his deceased friends Gustavo Diego Nicholich and Diego Storm).
Tumblr media
Born on February 12th 1946, Daniel is the second oldest survivor. He was unharmed in the crash.
As previously mentioned, Daniel and his cousins played a key leadership role after the death of team captain Marcelo Perez. Daniel’s serenity, in particular, calmed the others down when fights erupted.
Tumblr media
Born on August 13th 1947, Eduardo was a Stella Maris alumnus and confounder of the Old Christians, as well as a former player. Nicknamed “the German” due to his ancestry, he was an Architecture student and the most worldly of the group, as he had previously traveled to Europe.
Eduardo invited his cousins Adolfo Strauch and Daniel Fernandez on the trip.
Stay tuned for PART 2!

The Unofficial Black History Book
~~
Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784)
Tumblr media
Imagine being the best-known and also the first African-American woman to publish a book of poetry at the age of 13, whilst being a slave.
This is her story.
Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American and second female to publish a book of poems. And she was also the youngest.
Phillis Wheatley was born on May 8th, 1753, in Gambia, West Africa. There's no record of her real birth name. 
When she was no younger than seven, she was kidnapped by slave traders and brought to America in 1761. The slave traders renamed her 'Phillis' based on the slave ship she arrived on, 'The Phillis'
She was transported to the Boston docks with a shipment of "refugee" slaves who, because of their age or physical frailty, were unsuited for rigorous labor in the West Indian and Southern Colonies. They were the first ports of call after the Atlantic Crossing.
In August 1761, Susanna Wheatley, the wife of Boston tailor John Wheatley, was "in want of a domestic."
Susanna purchased "a slender, frail female child...for a trifle."
The captain of the slave ship believed that Phillis was terminally ill, and he wanted to make at least a small profit off of her before she died. 
It's reported that a Wheatley relative surmised her to be "of slender frame and evidently suffering from a change of climate," "nearly naked, with no other covering than a quantity of dirty carpet about her," and "about seven years old...from the circumstances of shedding her front teeth."
When Phillis was sold to the Wheatley family, she adopted their last name and was taken under Susanna's wing as her domestic.
During her time serving the Wheatleys, which was about sixteen months, Susana discovered that Phillis had an extraordinary capacity to learn. The Wheatleys, including their son Nathaniel and their daughter Mary, taught her how to read and write after discovering her precociousness.
But this didn't excuse her from her duties as a house slave.
Phillis was soon immersed in the Bible, astronomy, geography, history, theology, British literature, and the Greek and Latin classics of Virgil, Ovid, Terence, and Homer. Inspired, she began writing poetry between the ages of 12 and 13.
At a time when African Americans were discouraged and intimidated from learning how to read and write, Phillis' life was an anomaly.
When she started to publish her poems, her fame, and talent soon spread across the Atlantic. With Susanna's support, Phillis started posting advertisements for subscribers for her first book of poems.
However, a scholar of Phillis's work, Sondra O'Neale, notes, "When the colonists were apparently unwilling to support literature by an African, she and the Wheatleys turned in frustration to London for a publisher."
In 1773, Phillis was in continuously poor health; she had chronic asthma. But she sets off for London with Nathaniel Wheatley, her master's son.  
When she arrived in London, she was accepted and adored for both her poise and her literary work. And during her time there, she also received medical treatment for the ailments she was battling.
She met Selina Hastings, a friend of Susanna Wheatley and the Countess of Huntingdon. Eventually, Hastings funded the publication of Phillis's book. "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral." Was the first book of poetry published by an enslaved African American in the United States. 
Her book includes many elegies as well as poems on Christian themes, even dealing with race, such as the often-anthologized "On being brought from Africa to America."
Phillis was also a strong supporter of America's fight for independence; she penned several of her poems in honor of George Washington, who was Commander of the Continental Army. She sent him one of her works that was written in 1775, and it eventually inspired an invitation to visit him in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In March 1776, she traveled to Washington.
 Phillis eventually had to return to Boston to tend to Susanna Wheatley, who was gravely ill. 
After the elder Wheatleys’ died, Phillis was left with nothing and had to support herself as a seamstress. 
We don’t know exactly when she was freed by the Wheatleys, but some scholars suggest that she was freed between 1774 and 1778. And during that time, most of the Wheatley family had died.
Even with her literary popularity at its all-time high and being manumitted, freedom in 1774 Boston proved to be incredibly difficult.
Phillis was unable to secure funding for another publication or even sell her writing. 
In 1778, she was married to a free African American man from Boston named John Peters. They had three children, but sadly, none of them survived infancy.
Their marriage proved to be a struggle due to the couple's battle with constant poverty. Phillis was then forced to find work as a maid in a boarding house, where she lived in squalid, horrifying conditions.
Even through all her misfortune, Phillis continued to write. But, with the growing tensions between the British and the Revolutionary War, she lost enthusiasm for her poems.
Although she continued to contact various publishers, she was unsuccessful in finding support for a second volume of poetry.
On December 5th, 1784, Phillis Wheatley died alone in a boarding house at 31 years old, without a penny to her name. 
Many of her poems for her second volume disappeared and have never been recovered.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday signed a law providing full disability benefits to Chicago police officers and firefighters struck by COVID-19 before vaccines were available, presiding over an emotional statehouse ceremony which marked the end of a financial struggle for responders including the brother of Comptroller Susana Mendoza.
The Act-of-Duty Law, HB3162, ensures disability benefits of 75% of salary plus health insurance for anyone unable to work after contracting the coronavirus from March 9, 2020, when the flare-up intensified in Illinois, until June 30, 2021. The law grants them the presumption that they picked up the illness on the job.
Pritzker said after COVID-19′s arrival in early 2020, police, fire and medical personnel were both a line of defense and a lifeline.
“Our first responders were key to our national response, transporting infected patients to hospitals, disbursing masks and testing kits or providing care to those in distress…,” Pritzker said. “But even with social distancing, masks and mitigations in place, many of our first responders became infected with COVID-19.”
Mendoza’s brother, 58-year-old police Det. Joaquin Mendoza, was a veteran officer who worked the midnight shift. With no spouse or children, the comptroller said work was his only focus. In November 2020, when the city canceled days off, he worked 17 straight days, woke up one morning with a cough and two days later was rushed to the hospital with COVID-19.
He moved in with his sister and her family and since then, he’s had five strokes and lost both kidneys, requiring thrice-weekly dialysis. But the Policeman’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago denied his claim for full disability because there was no proof that he contracted the virus on the job. The board also denied Officer Diana Cordova-Nestad.
“This has been the most hellacious experience…,” Mendoza said. “I don’t want any police officers to feel that their only recourse is to recognize that they’re worth more dead than alive and decide to eat a bullet because they don’t want to deal with this. … I know it sounds dramatic, but it’s real.”
Mendoza said she know of about 20 others who will benefit from the law — after her brother and Cordova-Nestad were denied, no one else sought benefits.
“It’s a small universe… so you’re not talking about opening up the floodgates,” she said.
Joaquin Mendoza had planned to attend the bill signing but underwent surgery again on Tuesday and remains hospitalized.
“He told me that maybe it had to happen… because he’s the only one with a sister who knows how to navigate this crazy system and can right the wrong for brothers and sisters on the force,” the Comptroller said.

Mug Root Beer is an American brand of root beer that was originally produced in 1940 under the name Belfast Root Beer. It is now made by New Century Beverage Company of San Francisco, California, which was acquired by PepsiCo in 1986.[1][2]
History
Mug Root Beer was originally sold under the name Belfast Root Beer in 1940 by the Belfast Beverage Company in San Francisco, California. The company had been known for making sparkling water and ginger ale since 1877.[3] Belfast Beverage Company was purchased around 1925 by New Century Beverage Company, which had successfully launched Crush Soda in 1918.
In 1936, New Century Beverage Company gained permission to franchise Pepsi-Cola products, and about four years later, it launched Belfast Root Beer. An advertisement for Belfast Root Beer appears as early as 1947.[4] According to the San Francisco Examiner, the catchphrase, 'You haven’t tasted Root Beer like this in years!' filled 1950s newspaper advertisements."[3] An advertisement for Belfast Old Fashioned Mug Root Beer appears as early as 1952.[5] In the 1950s, the soda took on the title Belfast Old Fashioned Mug Root Beer before its name was eventually shortened to Mug Root Beer.[3]
In the late 1960s, Sugar Free Mug (now Diet Mug Root Beer) was introduced.[6] Mug Cream Soda and Diet Mug Cream Soda were later introduced, but they are not as widely available. Mug was purchased by Pepsi in 1986, and replaced On-Tap Draft Style Root Beer as Pepsi's root beer brand.[6] Mug Root Beer is manufactured by independent bottlers under the authority of New Century Beverage Company.
Since Mug Root Beer's acquisition by PepsiCo in 1986, the company's mascot has been a bulldog named "Dog" holding a mug of Mug Root Beer.[3] PepsiCo stopped producing its sodas in San Francisco in the early 1990s.[3]

Today is June 3 and marks seven years since the first "Ni Una Menos" in 2015. The "Ni Una Menos" slogan doesn’t have an exact translation to english, can be translated as "Not one less" but in spanish “una” refers to females because this slogan refers to a specific form of violence that women suffer for their conditions as women. However, the movement doesn’t stand for traditional conceptions of females and speaks against all forms of violence that are a product of a patriarchal system and represent all identities that are victims of it.
The origin of the slogan comes from a phrase of a poem of Susana Chávez in 1995 that says "Not one woman less, not one more death" to protest the femicides in Ciudad Juárez. In 2011, the poet was a victim of femicide. Vanina Escales, communicator and activist, proposed "Ni Una Menos" as slogan to call to the reading marathon of March 26, 2015 in Argentina and the name was kept for the mobilization of the June 3, 2015.
In Argentina during 2014, according unofficial or complete statistics, at least 277 femicides occurred in the country, at a rate of 1 every 30 hours. In the first months of 2015 there was a growth in the number of femicides compared to the previous year. 
The event considered by many to be the beginning of the movement is the murder of the 14 years old Chiara Páez, on May 9, 2015. Páez was pregnant and had decided to tell the news to the father of her baby, Manuel Mansilla, 16 years old, that she wanted to keep the baby. Mansilla killed her and buried her body under his grandparents' house. Paez's body was found the next day and Mansilla confessed had killing her.
The protest took place on June 3, 2015 with the slogan “Ni Una Menos” and the Plaza del Congreso in Buenos Aires was its main meeting point, and it had repercussions in several cities in Argentina. It was attended by more than 300,000 people supported by women's rights groups, unions, political and social organizations.
The demands was:
Implementation in its entirety and with the allocation of the budget in accordance with LAW No. 26,485 "Comprehensive Protection Law to Prevent, Punish and Eradicate Violence against Women in the areas in which they develop their interpersonal relationships". Implementation of the National Plan that is established there.
Compilation and publication of official statistics on violence against women, including femicide rates.
Opening and full operation of Domestic Violence Offices of the Supreme Court of Justice in all provinces, in order to streamline precautionary protection measures. Federalization of line 137.
Guarantees for the protection of victims of violence. Implementation of electronic monitoring of the perpetrators to ensure that they do not violate the approach restrictions imposed by the Justice.
Guarantees for victims' access to Justice. Attention of trained personnel to receive complaints in each prosecutor's office and each police station. Linking the causes of civil and criminal jurisdictions. Free legal support for victims throughout the legal process.
Guarantees for the fulfillment of Childrens's rights with specialized legal sponsorship and training in the subject.
Creation of more Emergency Homes/Shelters, Day Homes for victims, and housing subsidy, with interdisciplinary assistance from a gender perspective.
Incorporation and deepening in all the educational curricula of the different levels of comprehensive sexual education with a gender perspective, the theme of sexist violence and workshops to prevent violent courtships.
Mandatory training on the issue of sexist violence for State personnel, security agents and judicial operators, as well as professionals who work with the issue of violence in different official agencies throughout the country. All measures require the creation of monitoring and follow-up instances for their implementation and effective operation.
After the historical June 3 the movement, the slogan “Ni Una Menos” has spread in other countries of Latin America and the world. 
Today people around the country will meet again to keep protesting against the misogynist violence against womens and dissidence. 
The Adriana Marisel Zambrano observatory --coordinated by the civil association La Casa del Encuentro-- and the Mujeres de la Matria Latinoamericana (MuMaLa) presented a very complete reports with the numbers of femicides perpetrated in these seven years. According to the first, from June 3, 2015 to May 27, 2022, there were 1,990 femicides, 51 trans-transvesticides, and 191 related femicides of men. Thus, 2,361 children were left without a mother, of which 1,518 are minors. So far this year there have been 251 femicides, including 20 linked and five trans-transvesticides, according to a record made by the Women's Office of the Supreme Court of Justice. The 64 percent of the crimes occurred in the homes of the victims.
This year the demands are marked by the critical situation that the country is going through in terms of economy. "Our slogan is that misogyny kills us and poverty hits us. Without articulation of State policies it is very difficult to get out of the situation of violence," remarks Victoria Aguirre, spokeswoman for MuMaLa, who demands the declaration of emergency "Ni Una Menos" and measures against the "feminization of poverty", which "goes through and deepens violence".
This year the feminist movement will ask for the search and appearance of Tehuel -a young trans male who disapeared in March 2021-, justice for Claudia Benítez -murdered in Misiones days ago, creator of a fleet of taxis driven by women and for use mainly by girls- and the dismissal of the doctor Miranda Ruiz, charged in the province of Salta for performing a legal abortion.
This year we also protest for the abolition of “Chineo”. This week, the organization Mujeres Índigenas released a statement announcing that it had filed a request for an audience with President Alberto Fernández to deliver the demand for the prevention and abolition of chineo. What is “Chineo”? It is the systematic rape of indigenous girls from the age of seven at the hands of “criollos”: adult men, landowners, with political and economic power. The demands to end Chineo and provide assistance and justice to the victims is urgent.
During the past 7 years Argentina has reached important laws but we still have a long way to go to put an end to misogynist violence.

A man charged with fatally shooting a 17-year-old girl in Chicago said he did it after seeing her throw water at a McDonald's employee, prosecutors say.
Anthony Heredia, 19, was arrested moments after the girl was shot in the 2500 block of S. Kolin Avenue, near the parking lot of a McDonald's, in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood about 3 p.m. on Friday, Chicago Police said.
Tierra Franklin, a student at Curie High School, has been identified as the victim.
Heredia is charged with first-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance.
At his bond hearing on Sunday, prosecutors said he told investigators he was called to the McDonald's at 4334 W. 26th Street by an employee who said they had recognized Franklin from a recent altercation at the restaurant, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The McDonald's employees told him everything was fine when he arrived, so he waited in the parking lot while Franklin got food with some family members.
But prosecutors said Franklin later approached a drive-thru window and threw a cup of water at an employee.
That prompted Heredia to pull out a gun and fire twice at Franklin as she was running back to a car.
She was transported to St. Anthony Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Franklin dreamed of becoming a lawyer and was eagerly looking forward to her senior year and attending prom, her family told ABC7.
She was an orphan in the care of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Her mother died of cancer two months ago and her father died when she was a child, relatives told ABC7. Family members were spending the Fourth of July holiday in Florida, but Franklin decided to stay in Chicago, they said.
Heredia apologized to Franklin's family during his court appearance on Sunday, according to the Tribune. "I just want to apologize to the victim's family," he said.
Circuit Judge Susana Ortiz ordered him to be held without bail on Sunday.
He was identified by multiple McDonald's employees as having been in the restaurant immediately before the shooting, according to the Tribune.
A surveillance camera captured Heredia returning to the parking lot to pick up a shell casing, the Sun-Times reported.
Prosecutors said investigators matched another casing found at the scene of the shooting to the one found in Heredia's pocket when he was arrested.
He had been on parole since March after pleading guilty in January to reckless discharge of a firearm in connection with a 2021 incident.
Franklin's family, Heredia's attorney and McDonald's have been contacted for comment.

CW: death, murder, violence, femicide
i haven't seen many posts about this case in english, probably because so much is going in the world as it is but i still want you all to know this, because i refuse to let her name fade into obscurity as so many other names of murdered women in mexico are.
Tumblr media
this is debanhi susana escobar bazaldua, she was 18 years old. she disappeared over two weeks ago after her "friends" abandoned her in a highway late at night after going to a party, supposedly as a prank, in nuevo león state. she was never seen again until today, when her body was found a few metres away from where the second picture was captured in a security camera.
that day she was one of 11 women who didn't make it home, and today she became another body found, tomorrow she will probably become another victim of femicide who will never get justice.
the bodies of six other murdered women were found during the search for her and she was only found because her father refused for her to be another name in a file, another woman disappeared who will never be found. he put her name and face in every newscast, every paper, every social media to the point where the government couldn't ignore him and had no choice but to start a search for her and even then it took them thirteen fucking days to find her body just steps away from where they had been all this time. if they'll investigate who killed her and bring them to justice is a gamble.
11 women are murdered in mexico every day, even more disappear, and no one does anything about it. most will never be found by their families ever again, not even as bodies to be buried. almost none will ever get justice.
i don't identify as a woman but i know i present as one and the world perceives me as one, so every day i face the same reality millions in my country do: whenever i leave my home it's a game of chance whether or not i will make it back. every day. even just going to the corner store in the middle of the day is a risk when you're female presenting in mexico.
tomorrow we march. tomorrow we scream her name until our throats are raw and our voices hoarse. and yet tomorrow 10 more women will die anyway and i won't know the names of any of them because no one is doing anything, no one cares that they're killing us.
i don't think a tumblr post is gonna change anything, i just want you all to know her name, remember her face, and think of the women who have died and the ones that will die while our government does nothing and can't give justice to anyone. tomorrow it could be me, could be my sister, any of my cousins, or friends, or coworkers.

Cuando se haya perdido hasta el recuerdo de la dulce belleza de mi raza y las jóvenes que amen ignoren que antes que ellas amé...

Mercredi 13 Mars :
Le ciel ne s'est malheureusement pas dégagé dans la nuit, j'ai vérifié lors de chacun de mes réveils après 1h du matin.
On sentait un peu le frais sur les zones à découvert mais sinon on aurait du mal à imaginer qu'il fait -5°C dehors, le chalet ayant une très bonne inertie.
On rallume un peu le poêle pour le petit déjeuner (porridge au menu) et on range nos affaires.
On met un petit mot dans le livre d'or et on part vers 9h du chalet. On parcourt les 1,7 kms assez rapidement puis on s'avance au bout de la piste pour aller marcher un peu plus sur des pistes.
On fait 1 petit kilomètre puis on reprend la voiture afin de prendre une autre piste qui mène à un autre refuge où on peut faire du feu.
En effet on devait trouver un endroit pour faire cuire nos saucisses, tradition oblige, du coup on s'installe et on prépare du petit bois avec le couteau lynx de Sam (j'ai laissé le mien dans le sac).
On déguste nos saucisses bien fumées au bois de pin sylvestre en observant un pic épèche qui fait de la musique à grands coups de bec sur un tronc mort en face.
On retourne à la voiture et faisons la route pour revenir à la maison. On arrive vers 13h et on passe un peu de temps à se reposer, je m'endors presque.
On fait un repas léger vers 14h quand Lumi rentre du collège. On l'a aperçue de loin avec sa classe quand on rentrait quand ils avaient ski se fond.
Après déjeuner j'aide un peu à la cuisine pour faire une bolognaise pour ce soir, et coupe les carottes et les oignons.
Susana était restée travailler de la maison et ce soir elle accueille quelques personnes pour une réunion du parti Vert.
Sam reste ici pour préparer et moi j'enfile les crampons et je pars marcher jusqu'à l'île de Selkasaari.

Je passe près du château de glace, descends sur la mer Baltique sous les cottages, passe par la digue, longe le port, passe devant des jeunes qui viennent de s'installer pour pêcher au trou et trace tout droit vers l'île sur la piste repérée.
Une fois dans l'île je suis la piste de ski de fond. Je m'arrête un moment photographier un nouveau pic épèche et m'enfonce dans les 50 cm de neige (j'ai plus les raquettes).
Je retrouve le bord de la mer un peu plus loin et trace tout droit vers chez Sam. Je m'arrête dans une épicerie pour prendre de la bière et des gâteaux apéro.
J'ai fait une belle boucle de 8,3 km, en 1h45 de marche et seulement 20m de dénivelé positif (et oui c'est tout plat ici...).
Je retrouve Sam, Susana et ses collègues des verts en pleine réunion. Je vais me doucher puis on dîne tous entre la cuisine et le salon.
On fait un peu plus de Schotten Totten avec Sam avant d'aller se coucher vers 22h30.

RNZ Pacific 1316 19 Feb 2024
7390Khz 1259 19 FEB 2024 - RNZ PACIFIC (NEW ZEALAND) in ENGLISH from RANGITAIKI. SINPO = 55344. English, s/on w/bellbird int. until pips and news @1300z anchored by Lydia Lewis. Sixty people have died in a tribal dispute in Papua New Guinea's remote Highlands region, authorities say. The victims were shot dead during an ambush in the Enga province over the weekend, said a national police spokesman. The Highlands area has long struggled with violence, but these killings are believed to be the worst in years. An influx of illegal firearms have made clashes more deadly and fuelled a cycle of violence. A curfew has been imposed at the weekend in the village of Yaté (South-east of the main island) after renewed land-related clashes between rival communities have left two dead and four seriously injured. Renewed fights between rival clans took place on Saturday evening, as the village was celebrating the Yam festival, public broadcaster Nouvelle-Calédonie la 1ère reported. Micronesian leaders have warned the United States against further delaying Congressional approval for federal funding arrangements to their respective countries. Some of the countries are considering funding from China if the United States is not more forthright. Pacific Islands Forum’s Secretary General Henry Puna has reiterated the importance of effective communication when asked about holding carbon-emitting nations accountable for their financial contributions to the Pacific Resilience Facility (PRF). Fiji's Prime Minister will likely make the call on whether Women's Minister Lynda Tabuya will be dismissed. The People's Alliance Party (PAP) legal sub-committee were given two weeks to produce its decision after the party received a written complaint against Tabuya after allegations she was embroiled in a drug and sex scandal. Kava exports from Fiji have temporarily stopped following the discovery of illicit drugs in kava packs this month. Green Gold Kava producer and exporter Praveen Narayan told RNZ Pacific he was informed by his agents about the ban on Monday. He said they tried to send kava out of Nadi on Monday on flights but were stopped by the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji (CAAF). Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz has warned that unless Hamas frees all hostages held in Gaza by 10 March an offensive will be launched in Rafah. It is the first time Israel has said when its troops might enter Gaza's overcrowded southern city. Global opposition is growing to such an attack in Rafah, where some 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering. Sports. @1308z "Pacific Waves" anchored by Susana Lei'ataua.
