Some photos from a recreation we did a few weeks ago! 🥰 We went ice skating, visited the christmas markets and carrousel, took some photos at the archeological museum and had tea at the Wellington's café!

It's fine to be disappointed about not seeing the Lords, but dear God stop shitting on the DLC because of it. Just because you wanted to see them doesn't mean it was gonna happen. This DLC isn't about the Lords, and it never was. It's about Rose. It's about her journey to accepting her powers, accepting that she's a little weird but that's OKAY and it's worth it because she can do cool things and she has the best dad ever. Overcoming her insecurities, learning to care for herself and know she's worth love because Ethan loves her so fucking much. It's about Rose learning more about herself. It's about Rose getting to talk to her dad, just once. Getting to hear him say "I love you". It's about Rose learning more about the events that led to her father sacrificing himself to save her, which she was apparently never told. It's about Rose gaining confidence in herself, in her abilities. It's about Rose finding a passion to fight back, to survive, to not conform. It was never about the Lords.

id: a digital drawing of pioneer 9 and 10, as well as juice from 17776. they’re shown standing in line, holding hands and dancing. 9 is the most to the left and they’re leaning back and throwing their free hand up into the air. 10 is in the middle, lifting one of her legs up. juice is to the right, doing a sort of kneel while also pointing up with his free hand, on which he’s wearing one of those big hands made out of foam. both pioneer 9 and 10 are wearing jumpsuits, while juice is wearing a scraft, t-shirts and shorts. the background is black and the characters are only lined in their corresponding colors-9 using pink/red, 10 using green and juice using yellow. end id

Are you thinking of visiting a national park like Mount Rainier this winter?
 Perhaps take a scenic drive and partake in some recreation like snowshoeing?
Tumblr media
 While planning for time in the park, you’ll pack your 10 Essentials; navigation (map and compass, GPS), sun protection, insulation, illumination, first aid supplies, fire (emergencies only), repair tool, food, water (and water purification) and emergency shelter.
Winter has firmly gripped the upper elevations of Mount Rainier. If you’re planning on recreating in the park and away from the roads, there are some seasonal essentials to bring along for winter. A few items to help you handle the extra challenges of winter weather.
Winter 10 Essentials
Snow Shovel (compact) – for digging snow caves, etc.
Full Length Insulated Sleeping Pad -even when sitting down for a break, it’s good to be insulated from the cold snow.
Stove and Fuel – to melt snow or ice into water.
Heat Packs
Goggles and Wool/Pile Hat – for staying warm and protecting exposed skin and eyes is important.
Gloves (base/mid/shell layers) – for staying warm and protecting your skin from frostbite and low temperatures.
Avalanche Transceiver – wear one with fully charged batteries and train to use it.
Avalanche Probe – keeping one on you and training to use it are key.
Ability to assess mountain weather and avalanche hazards – educating yourself about winter weather and hazards can help you keep your adventure fun.
Map, compass & GPS (with extra batteries) – knowing how to navigate even with low visibility is a good skill to build and keep sharp. Bringing extra batteries can help when winter cold saps your battery power.
Tumblr media
Carrying these winter 10 essentials when you snowshoe, ski or hike in the national park in winter can go a long ways towards having a positive experience. Making memories of your time in the wilderness that you can treasure for days and years to come.
Are there any other things you consider essential for winter recreation?
What is your favorite item to bring on your winter Mount Rainier adventure?

The most frustrating thing is that, despite my best efforts, I cannot get this photo to capture the expansive feeling of being by this mountain in person. It is just soooo awesome and amazing to run by with the mountain at your side. I love it and just wish I could find a photo that really conveys that sense of power and wonder.

The pushback to the term "cultural Christianity" from atheists is real odd to me because, as someone who has been an atheist since 13, only ever went to church a handful of times never with my own family (made a note never to sleep over at that friends house on a Saturday again bc I HATED church it smelled like shit, was boring, pews are uncomfortable as fuck, and the religious people I knew were all wildly misogynistic and I've never been here for being told I was less of a person for being Born Like This), and generally had no actual connection to Christianity in a meaningful way but still only knows Christian mythology, has been steeped in Christian values I had to untangle, and my religious understandings are still deeply Christian.
Like Ive never paid attention to the bible, church, Jesus, Christian teachings, or whatever but if you asked me about any religion the one I'll reliably know the most about is Christianity. I don't know why atheists are offended by being called culturally Christian because they have bad blood with the religion because like sorry bruh that doesn't mean you're less indoctrinated by Christian values if the culture you grew up in is predominantly Christian. In fact I'd say that religion being this ubiquitous in the culture regardless of anyone's consent to exactly ONE religion being shoved down our throats is reason to team up with other religious folks who ALSO don't like being constantly evangelized to by the culture at large, not a reason to throw a fit because you don't like being tied to a religion that is so ingrained into the culture that shit like "oh my god" and "Jesus Christ" are common expressions of surprise regardless of how atheist you are. Like surely I'm not the only atheist to notice the shocking amount of cultural religious shit that works it's way into my life and speech despite having not set foot in a church since I was like 10, and I can't remember the last time I was in one before that.
Idk man cultural Christianity seems like a pretty damn useful term to describe my relationship with a religion I never fully bought into and then actively rejected as a child yet still hold weird connections to and knowledge of just because Christianity is so baked into the culture I grew up in like it or not. If you want to be mad, be mad at the Christians who stole your freedom from religion from you, not usually religious minorities who discuss cultural Christianity and how it damages them too.
#winters ramblings#like breh i HATE how much christian bullshit ive had to detangle from my life. like the idea of sin and punishment for example#id say a LOOOOOT of discussion regardless of religion leans towards a Christian understanding of the pridon system#prison is basically a recreation of hell on earth where youre supposed to go to burn off your sins in your 10x10 cell#now i gotta say not all Christians buy inti the styke of punishment and sin i know normal well adjusted Christians#but for the most part a HUGE portion of shit comes with a helping of cultural Christianity. but prison is probably the best example#hell any discussion of punishment relies on a distinctly christian flavor of 'atone for your sin or be doomed forever"#repubs bitch about so called cancel culture but thats just how Christians act towards sin lmao they do it too#except they choose shit you didnt ACTIVITY make a choice about like being gay to condem you to hell.#cant be mad that twitter cancels people for small shit like a crap joke if you actively subscribe to the same belief system#and are only mad bc that logic is applied to YOU now. anyway i could do without this logic in activist spaces#or ANY spaces being doomed forever over sin is only one way to do Christianity. like damn can the ones who like#rehabilitation and justice and helping the poor at least be the ones in charge??#regardless ive never been a Christian and barely have a meaningful connection to the religion. whuch is why i find it rather salient#that i still have this deep connection and knowledge of something i ACTIVELY REJECTED at 13#do you know HOW MUCH i had to have been indoctrinated into this shit with as LITTLE of a connection to organized religion as i do??#the fact i have ANY connection at all is kind if fucked honestly it shows you really REALLY do not get to choose#your religious leanings unless youre actively ANOTHER RELIGION BESIDES CHRISTIAN otherwise tough tiddy#you get to be Christian By Default and i don't like it either. but when i see jewish people talking about it#i know EXACTLY what they mean because i dont like my connection to a religion i never believed in and rejected at 13 either#i don't like that my choice to reject Christianity was stolen from me by such a ubiquitously christian culture#im not mad at jews for pointing this out im mad at christians for stealing my freedom of choice

“Then it was Lleu and I, alone, locked together in silent, furious intensity. The old bitter resentment raged through me. I was stronger and taller and more experienced than Lleu, and I knew I could not win. […] When Lleu at last twisted in underneath my guard and pressed the wooden blade against my throat, I could not bear to prolong this competition. I knelt before him in formal surrender, as before a judge or an executioner, with head bowed and neck bared. […] Such a performance, both of us so calm and polite! But his hands trembled, the black hair he pushed back from his forehead was damp, and his face was wan. It had been something more than a game” (62-63)
what was it, Medraut? What was it!

As the higher elevations of the park get covered in more and more feet of snow, the forests and meadows begin to look like they’re covered in a deep, thick quilt. But this is deceiving. Under that deep blanket of snow are holes. Covered by a thin shell of snow and ice, these holes hide from our sight but are around trees and over creeks.
Holes? Yes, holes in the snow. We call them snow bridges when they go over creeks and tree wells when they’re around tree trunks.
As our blanket of snow grows with the winter storms, it doesn’t fall and linger evenly. Tree branches deflect snow away from their trunks, building the wells around the trunk that can sometimes be lightly covered by a thin shell.
Tumblr media
Creeks likewise don’t get easily covered in snow. The running water can melt and whisk away many snowflakes. As the surrounding snow piles higher, bridges can grow across the water. It can be very deceptive. Bridges can completely cover a creek so that you don’t see a drop of the running water hidden beneath.
Tumblr media
Both tree wells and snow bridges can be hidden until an unsuspecting skier or snowshoer takes one wrong step, falls through the thin crust and into the hole below. Good map reading can let you know where the creeks are hidden under snow while paying attention to the forest and trees around you can help you steer clear of tree wells.
One more thing about tree wells. As one of our own park rangers can tell you, looking out for trees you can see above the snow is one things to do to stay safe. But here the snow can get so deep that little trees are completely covered by snow. Not only is the tree well hidden, but so is the tree. Try to recreate with a friend so you can watch out for each other in case someone drops into a hidden hole under the snow.

How do you stay safe while skiing or snowshoeing?
