Prairie

sometimes you accidentally show up two hours early to a family reunion, but the local bookstore is open, so you buy a cozy mystery, and the local coffee shop is very cute and has homemade pop tarts and leather couches, and it’s a fine morning

fuck i need a Pacific Rim watch. i am overdue

need two more kills on biggest game zaddy to progress storyline and getting to them takes a good hour-ish…. though if i die early more chores for me

today is a 2 hades runs then hour of chores day

shit i even journaled and ate kimchi rice and fried chicken. hell of a friday. love you all.

it was a long fucking week but a great night. texted with friends, talked with my sister, watched the awful new Jurassic Park with my partner who let me tell him for the millionth time why Camp Cretaceous is so good, walked the dogs with my mom in lovely weather and now for my next act, sleeping in

hello, for the first time since watching highlander 2 with @moax.bsky.social i have drank a whole bottle of wine. ask me nothing im going to sleeeeeeep

still blue and purple

this week has been a thousand years but I just washed my hair so things already seem better

a red borealis with lime green streaks

a shimmering red borealis above houses

pink, green, and red borealis fading into the night sky with stars shining through

i saw my first borealis tonight. stunning. we drove out to a field with less light pollution and i could hear all the coyotes behind us, it was so deeply magical

I’m doing rewatches of movies from ‘90s to ‘00s and I really miss some of the film design.

Voices are audible.

Scenes feel fluid. Location anchor shots.

Night scenes are VISIBLE.

Practical effects are so nice to see.

Plots interesting but linear (can’t feel the last minute edits)

Girls don't want boys they want to be buried in the coffin from Del Toro's Frankenstein.

today at the store i bought heart burn meds, wine, and flaming hot pickle cheetos bc I want what i want and (sort of) damn the consequences

but first! Hades 2 and WoW under fuzzy blankets

date day today!!! it’s rainy and cold but I have a cute new warm dress and we are having food adventures!!!

My latest project at the day-job is up for preorders!

spent the afternoon listening to mbira music from Zimbabwe because i am so in love with TL Huchu’s Edinburgh Nights series which blends Scottish and Zimbabwean magic and myth.

the last book had me sitting silently staring out windows for days and omg the new book that snot release yet is so good.

oh that is true, that’s why some areas are protected by law. it’s makes it a felony when they take pictures or loot the site. it’s no different than land really.

the bodies are on the fitzgerald too, and preserved, posting photos of them is illegal due to the designation.

like i said, not all places are designated grave sites. and then people go and be all macabre l

Into the Raging Sea: Thirty-Three Mariners, One Megastorm, and the Sinking of El Faro by Rachel Slade. the words are cut out to show an angry sea behind a yellow block cover

AND if you want to read about our fucking old shipping fleet and how it’s a huge problem as we force more cargo on to old ships past safety levels (ahem see the fitzgerald) i cannot recommend enough Into the Raging Sea: Thirty-Three Mariners, One Megastorm, and the Sinking of El Faro by Rachel Slade

it’s literal don’t follow the lights in the forest, don’t follow the song on the ocean floor. we only know it’s a common hallucination bc some
people rally and others get pulled up by dive partners.

looming shadow monsters in the deep are another common hallucination

my dude when you are in deeeeep water and your oxygen mix is off you start hallucinating and LOTS of people think the crabs are talking and singing to them and they swim after them into the dark waters and light doesn’t travel far. it’s so easy to just get lost and disappear it’s scary shit

and if you want more information on the preservation of deep water gravesites read -

The Gales of November by John U. Bacon (specifically about the Fitzgerald)

Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson about the divers that id’d an unknown german sub

and

The Shipwreck Hunter by THEEEE David L Mearns

WE DONT DIVE TO GRAVE SITES

not all shipwrecks are labeled as preserved grave sites, but many many are. it affords them deep levels of protection so creeps and the morbidly curious can’t got steal relics or disturb the souls.

there is a book just recently out on it and i love that the song and the work lightfoot went on to do for the families such a part of it
