Can I get a shoutout to the amazing Inuit whose hard work and ingenuity brought Franklin's ships back from the mists of history?

Louie Kamookak, who passed in 2018, was an Inuit historian who used Inuit oral histories and Franklin searchers' notes to relocate HMS Erebus in 2014.

Sammy Kogvik is an Inuk Canadian Ranger who rediscovered HMS Terror in Terror Bay in 2016 (he actually sighted it earlier, but it was formally announced in 2016!)

I haven't seen a lot on Tumblr about these gentlemen, so here they are!

I came to see that the little things were everything

But after a couple of weeks of listing things I was grateful for, I came to see that the little things were everything. The little things were what I held on to at the end of the day. Single jokes that gave me the giggles. A beautiful flower arrangement, viewed through the window of a café. The fact that my cat came to cuddle me when she saw I was sad. These things gave me hope, pleasure, solace. Together, they added up to a fulfilling life. If a simple flower arrangement could make this world just a little more bearable, then perhaps my own small actions meant more than I was giving them credit for. Maybe when I made dinner, or listened to a friend rant, or complimented a woman on her incredible garden, I was helping make this world survivable for others. Perhaps that evening, when tallying up their own wins and losses for the day, someone would think of something I’d done and smile.

Remember, everyone, we still have a system in place and the Constitution still exists. We are not in a full dictatorship, yet. We can not give in to despair at every single thing this new administration does, because those checks still exist.

And until they don't - and that's a big if - we must keep our heads about us. Do not panic. Do not fall into apathy. Do not do anything irreversible.

The system will not save us, but it can protect us from the worst possible outcome for now.

And we will continue to fight even once it can't or won't.

The 2022 US Olympic Team has shared this post.

According to Nathan Chen, in partnership with the team, an anonymous donor will be matching donations up to 22K. The US Figure Skating Family Support Fund is here.

Global Impact, an intermediary organization, is serving as the administrator of this fund.

GoFundMe also has a page linking all the verified GFM fundraisers for victims of the crash (not just the skaters, of course).
