time off was a rarity, and you didnt take it lightly.
both yourself and jake had been racking up some vacation days and had booked a week off 4 months in advance.
and you had been looking forward to the week off since you started talking about it.
a week away from everything, just you and jake.
the two of you had chosen to go to mexico for your vacation. somewhere warm and interesting. you could lounge around all day or go out and do something and that was just perfect for the two of you.
so far, in 2 and a half days, you had just been lounging around in your hotel, enjoying not having to get up every morning and not having any agenda for the day.
day three didnt look like it was going to be any different.
you were woken up by the sun creeping through the blinds you could've sworn you shut before you went to bed last night, but apparently not.
you turned over to avoid the seemly blinding light, and you were met with the sight of your boyfriend in his rumpled morning state.
his curls were a mess onto of his head, his face free of worry, the sunlight dusting over his features to make him look truly angelic.
a smile settled on your lips.
you decided to put aside your thoughts of going back to sleep and instead rested your head onto of your arm as you watched the movement of jake's chest rising and falling.
you couldn't pinpoint how long you had been watching him, but the sun had shifted to brighten his closed eyes by the time he woke up.
he turned towards your body to hide from the light, and instead was met with the stretch of mattress between you.
the cold cotton caused his eyes to squint open in search of the woman he was certain he had fallen asleep beside.
he seemed to relax when he caught sight of you just another two inches over.
" were you watching me sleep ?"
you let a soft laugh huff past your lips.
" no ." you insisted, though you were sure it wasn't convincing.
jake said nothing in retaliation and instead just stretched his arm out to pull you across the gap in the mattress and into his chest.
you didnt resist, instead wrapped your arms around his torso as his lips pressed into your forehead, both of your eyes shielded from the lines of light bleeding through the blinds.

As horas passadas no SPA tinham se provado bastante eficientes na tarefa de melhorar o humor ranzinza de Darcy. Depois de meses no Acampamento Meio-Sangue, os produtos de skincare e cabelo que tinha trazido consigo da Inglaterra estavam chegando ao fim então ter acesso a tratamentos de qualidade realmente fazia uma diferença.
Com as unhas recém pintadas em um tom de roxo bem escuro, se dirigiu ao salão de refeições. Havia passado o dia beliscando petiscos e agora sentia necessidade de uma refeição completa. No caminho de volta ao resort, seus olhos não desgrudavam do céu, receosa que os pássaros que a atacaram em sua ultima estádia na ilha aparecessem novamente. Com o prato em mãos, hesitou perante o local de oferendas. Circe havia dito que todos precisariam oferecer algo no último dia mas será que seria falta de educação não oferecer algo todos os dias? "Você acha que ela vai ficar chateada se não fizermos oferendas?" perguntou a Santi. "Eu dificilmente faço oferendas para o meu próprio... pai." A última palavra foi dita com um certo desconforto, Darcy nunca se acostumaria a chamar Thanatos de pai.

Concluding Cape Verde
We’re so pleased that we’ve taken the option to walk to the taxi rank rather than arrange a pick up. Carrying our backpacks makes it obvious we’re leaving town, and as we make our way down Avenida Pescadora the walk becomes a succession of farewells which almost makes us feel like we’re leaving behind a lifetime’s friendships. Boa Vista “I take this”, says one of the crew who is always pushing…

Hi! Just wanna raise some awareness here because South America is on fucking fire and I need to see more people talking about this.
Tumblr media
Source: RSOE EDIS x
Im just going to talk about the ones i'm closest to, but if you know about these fires, feel free to add in the reblogs!
Chile
In Chile there's (up to Feb 5) 160 wild fires, of which 40 are still trying to be controlled by authorities. The president, Gabriel Boric, has declared State of Emergency in the whole country, and theres a Red Alert Code in most part of the country.
Isla de Chiloé, Southern Chile (900 km away from Santiago de Chile)
This is a (recently controlled) fire that lasted a week, but many neighborhoods were burnt to the ground.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The whole South is in red alert for constant sudden fires that spread quickly due to the lack of rain and the elevated temperatues in the zone. Just today, two fires had to be controlled in the main land next to this island, and more are being reported in the Los Lagos region. This is added to the "controlled" intentional fires that farmers make to clean their fields of old crops along the Central-South parts of the country, mostly surrunding the main route, Ruta 5, that connects the whole country, thus making it hard to see and breathe because of the smoke. (flashnews, most of them get out of control quickly.)
Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Central Chile (100 km away from Santiago de Chile)
Tumblr media
A fire that started on Friday 2nd and grew exponentially because of the wind and the dry, hot climate. More than 100 people are dead, with 70 unrecognized bodies and other 400 that have dissapeared. At least 30000 people that have lost everything to the fire.
There's massive evacuations from this and the neighboring city, Viña Del Mar.
This is said to be the second most deadly fire in the century, surpased by Australia in 2009.
45000+ hectares that include land and neighborhoods have been burnt down.
I could go on about this one, so more info here and here
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Argentina
Parque Los Alerces (Esquel), Chubut
The fire strarted on the 25th January, and the climate has made it hard to contain. 3000 hectares of native forest have been burnt to teh ground. It is now growing in the direction of the nearest city, Esquel. Theres been evacuations between yesterday and today (4 and 5th Febuary)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Parque Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche), Río Negro
The reason why im writing this. The city woke up today covered in smoke after a wildfire developed yesterday during the night. The reason? A fireplace that was not turned off in a place where people cannot disembark and can only be reached via boats.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As of now, there's not much information about the fire but hopefully the firefighters will be able to contain it before it reaches Tronador Mountain, where an ancient glaciar is.
...which leads me to the other point i wanted to talk about.
Firefighters
They volunteer to do this job.
In Argentina and Chile, firefighting is not rewarded with a salary, and most of the times they dont even have full firehouses to stay in. These people are at their houses, ready to jump into action and run to the station the second the alarm goes off.
They are neighbors, people that risk their lives and run into danger willingly, just because they want to help the community.
I felt the need to give a shout-out to these people and say:
Don't be a fucking dick, don't start fires in the woods unless it's an approved place, and if you do, TURN IT OFF.
Pour abundant water on it, and do not stop when you don't see any more flames.
Keep pouring water until the ashes don't burn/feel like room temperature in your hand if you put it 10 cm away from it, and even then, pour some more just to be sure.
No heat and no smoke mean a safely extinguished fire.
Save lives and forests.

Walking St. Cuthbert's Way
Photos, video and reflections from a beautiful 100 kilometer pilgrimage walk along the Scottish-English border.
St. Cuthbert, by local sculptor Tom Fiddes (2017), blesses the wayworn traveler. The saint stands opposite a country house offering shade and water to weary pilgrims. They confessed their sins, confided in him about their temptations, and laid open to him the common troubles of humanity they were laboring under … Spirits that were chilled with sadness he could warm back to hope again … Those…

Hype on Lai's US Transit 'Untenable'; Stopover Expected To Be 'Low-Key' Amid De-escalating China-US Tensions
— Global Times Staff Reporters | July 18, 2023
Tumblr media
Taiwan Question Illustration: Chen Xia/Global Times
Before the planned stopover in the US by deputy leader of Taiwan Island Lai Ching-te in August, politicians from the island and the US tried to pre-empt responses and reactions from the Chinese mainland. Their argument of "following customary," however, is completely untenable, said Chinese experts on Tuesday, noting that a possible low-key transit will not change its nature.
China has lodged serious representations with the US side over the matter and will closely follow the situation and take resolute and strong measures, according to Chinese Foreign Ministry.
Lai, a front-runner in the Island's election for regional leader who currently serves as deputy regional leader, has been appointed to lead a delegation to attend the inauguration ceremony of Paraguayan president-elect Santiago Pena in August. He will stop over in the US on the way to Paraguay, according to a local official, who on Monday described the stopover as "customary."
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also said the transit was "routine" on Monday, citing that 10 deputy regional leaders of Taiwan island have done so. He even warned that the Chinese mainland should not "use it as a pretext for provocative actions."
However, Chinese experts pointed out that the argument of "custom" or "routine" is totally untenable.
"It is easy to refute," Lü Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Tuesday. "If a criminal committed a crime but was not punished, it does not mean the criminal is free to commit that crime again."
"Low key, private and unofficial" is Lai's transit expected to be, US media outlet Bloomberg reported, citing a senior Biden administration official. The US' planned approach is in line with its recent easing of diplomatic ties with the Chinese mainland, analyst said.
Tumblr media
Blind To Reality! By Liu Rui, July 18, 2023
The Chinese mainland has sent very strong and clear signals in the events of Pelosi's provocative visit to Taiwan island and regional leader Tsai Ing-wen's transit stop in the US, making it crystal clear to the US that the Taiwan question is the most sensitive and significant question in China-US relations, said Lü.
He noted that in the recent high-level exchanges between China and the US, there have been fewer antagonistic expressions on the part of the US. "Now that the US sees de-escalating tensions, they are expected to deal with this matter in a low-key manner."I’m
Nonetheless, a low-key manner will not change the nature of the event which is an official interaction firmly being opposed, experts noted. The Chinese mainland will continue to closely follow relevant developments.
While Blinken referred to the "status quo" in the Taiwan Straits that the US "has no desire to change," Chinese observers pointed out that the so-called status quo has not existed since then-US house speaker Nancy Pelosi's reckless visit to the island in August 2022.
"Cross-Straits relations have entered a new normal, which is that the mainland has increased its ability to control air and sea space across the Straits in order to deter interference," said Lü. "What the US is realizing is that its ability to intervene in the Straits' situation has become weaker and weaker."
Politicians on Taiwan island who still fantasize that the US has the ability to support their secessionist moves will keep exaggerating the support they receive from Washington, saying that they have been treated with courtesy, which is their usual rhetoric to win votes, he noted. "There is nothing else for them to rely on."
China has lodged serious representations with the US side over the matter, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning at Monday's regular news conference.
China firmly opposes any form of official interaction between the US and the Taiwan region, firmly opposes any visit by "Taiwan independence" separatists to the US in any name or under whatever pretext, and firmly opposes the US's conniving with and supporting the "Taiwan independence" separatists and their separatist activities in any form, she said.
"The Taiwan question is the very core of China's core interests and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations," said Mao. "We urge the US to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués, act on its leaders' commitment including not supporting 'Taiwan independence,' stop official interaction with Taiwan, stop upgrading its substantive exchanges with the region, and stop sending any wrong signal to the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces."

lowkey wanna do a part 2 to this, maybe a series. lmk if y'all would be into that
𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ✦ 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 !
Tumblr media
everyone had told you that he was bad news.
but you were too blinded by what you thought was love to listen.
but now as you stood outside his apartment building, tears and rain mingling on your cheeks, you could see they were right.
he had taken you apart, piece by piece until you didnt know who you were anymore.
stood on his front step you couldnt find it in yourself to head back to your apartment where your roommate would be waiting with open arms and an 'i told you' ready to drop.
your legs seemed to carry you in the opposite direction before you could think too much about where you were headed.
it felt like seconds before you were stood infront of the door of one of your friends.
the only person you were sure wouldn't judge you right now.
your knock echoes through the hallway and you hoped more than anything that he would still be awake.
the sight that greeted you when he opened the door made you think you had arrived just in time.
jake.
his hair was mussed slightly and he had ditched his usual jeans and a hoodie for pyjama pants and a t-shirt.
" hey, what're you doing here?" he questioned, his voice more curious than judging.
but you couldnt seem to get any words out.
" woah, hey, are you okay ?"
that broke the damn. tears cascaded down your cheeks and if it weren't for jake's strong arms wrapping around your torso you would've collapsed on the floor.
he didnt try to move you, letting you cry freely into his shoulder in the hallway.
it was only when your shoulders had stopped shaking that he lead you into his apartment, sitting down on the couch beside you.
he didnt pressure you to speak, he didnt push you to do anything, he just sat with you for a while before you felt okay enough to talk.
" i- i got into a fight with dylan..." you started, your voice wobbly and uneven.
you could feel jakes posture stiffen beside you, but you carried on anyway.
" i got into the hallway before he could do anything but i heard glass breaking on the other side " tears began to pour again at the memory of that horrible sound.
he had tried to throw something at you.
jake still sat quietly at your side, his gaze on you never wavering.
" i didnt know where else to go. i knew my roommate would throw it in my face and i didnt want to be there incase he showed up.."
that was what finally snapped it and he lifted his hand, sliding it into yours and squeezing lightly.
" you can stay here, as long as you need. "
his voice was like a comforting blanket over your shoulders that could solve anything. just giving you a place to stay meant the world. it meant you didnt have to go back to your flat and hear your roommate go on about how right she was.
it meant you had a safe place to rest your head.
" thank you, jake " you replied your arms winding around his torso as his did the same , pulling you against his chest.
you felt a kiss pressed to the top of your head and it felt as though it was thawing your heart.
" c'mon, i've got some clothes you can borrow for tonight and we can get some of your stuff tomorrow "
after a confirming nod of your head, jake lead you to his bedroom, offering out a t-shirt, a hoodie and some boxers.
when you emerged from the bathroom in his clothes, you found him pulling blankets and a pillow from under his bed.
" ok, so, you know where everything is, i'll wake you in the morning before i go to work. and i'll tell holt that you're taking a day because there is no way i am-"
" can you stay with me tonight ?" you cut him off. amongst all of this, you didnt want to be alone.
you would take tomorrow off and sort yourself out if he wanted, though you would prefer to go on as though nothing had happened.
but right now, you didnt want him to go. you didnt care if that meant you sleeping on the floor in his bedroom, though you knew jake well enough to know he wouldn't allow that.
it took him a minute where he froze on the spot before he answered
" yeah "
he pushed the blanket and pillow back under the bed and climbed under his comforter, pulling back the other side for you to climb under.
and you did so, lowering yourself down onto the bed and pulling the blankets back over you.
jake didnt move, not wanting to push you too far, but he was on the other side of the mattress, what felt like miles away.
so even in your vulnerable state, you made the journey across the cotton sheets and rested your head down on his shoulder.
when his arm wrapped around you, you knew you were secure.
jake always gave you a safe place to rest your head.

Getting To and From Easter Island
New post!
You’ve booked your trip from Santiago, Chile to Easter Island, now what? Two weeks before my trip, I went online and filled out the FUI form that is required for Easter Island. Well, that did me no good because I had no proof to show the airline attendant when I was checking in to my flight in Santiago, Chile. I had to go to the website again and fill out the form again. This time, though, I…
