"LIVING IN TREES AT LAKE ATHABASKA," Sault Star (Sault Ste. Marie). May 8, 1934. Page 1. --- People Reported Living In Tents Above Ground During Floods ---- Fort Chipewyan, Alta., May 8. (CP) - Men, women and children in the trapping area around Lake Athabaska today were reported to be living in tents pitched on platforms built into the trees 10 to 15 feet above the ground as flood waters emptied into the lake from the Athabaska and Peace Rivers. No estimate could be made of the number of persons in the tents.

The high water has interfered greatly with the muskrat catch. At Hay River, 10 miles west of Fort Chipewyan, residents fear that Ice from Lake Mamaway and Lake Claire may come down and sweep away traders' stores and cabins. No loss of life has been reported, but Horace McKay was rescued as he neared exhaustion while he was clinging to his overturned canoe in a creek. He is a trapper.

Your journey is worthwhile

i really love how the first clip they gave us is the new years party

i know it’s to avoid spoilers and i’m also 99% sure what i’ll say here was not the actual intention but to me it serves as a reminder to those who’ve been fixating more on the angsty aspects of the season (of whom there are even more now after the stills have dropped)

like, yes, it’s going to be sad, but this is what it’s all leading to. no matter how dark it gets, they (and we) are going to get here:

and isn’t that just great

for the second year in a row we're having a rain season in Northen Italy. if it will repeat itself the next one it should get at least a cool name. it's the least that can happen to mitigate the fact that I'm doing laundry calculating how many sun hours we have before I have to collect it from the clothesline.

(and that I put the comforter away literally last week and I still have a heavy quilt on the bed... it's still only 21°C in my house ffs!)

the rain was heavy but the winds were low. i kept the windows open all night and fell so deep inside my dreams it felt like i lived whole other life

I NEED TO GO THROUGH PROS AND CONS

i feel like a lot of people ignore the fact that in a lot of places, bicycling just. cannot be done for half the year, & that's why public transport being good is important. i cannot bike in 5 feet of snow & ice or in 40c heat. i can't even walk in that, unless i have the energy to snowshoe or a bucket of ice water to chug.

"but I can do it!" good for you. unfortunately i live in Berk (snowing for 9 months of the year & hailing the other 3) & cannot unless i want to die. also disabled people exist. & children. & people who live in a place where everything is no closer than 30 minutes away, & 30 minutes in -30c can kill you if you can't afford a good pair of boots & a good coat. i may have bike paths but the river floods past them every year. what do i do then? bike on the highway?? just let me take the train

But have we given a thought to monsoon horrors? The continuous drip, drip, drip of rain against your windows that goes on for days and weeks without the hint of a single sun ray and and the churn of dark, filthy water thick with the city's refuse sloshing through the streets and insects crawling out of flooded ditches and creeping in through the pipes of your house and the water-level rising every hour every day and the river bank eroding and oh, oh it's gonna be a day or two before the entire village is taken down the river bottom forever and being stuck inside for days and the vegetation outside rapidly overgrowing and turning everything green and becoming a colossal entity that can never be tamed again be garden scissors or axes and hours and hours with only yourself for company and slowly going insane as electricity goes away after a particularly bad bout of rainstorm and never comes back and the food's running low and as you hold the knife and peer into your supplies you think of what you have to do to live on because this rain never ends
