In Churchill, Manitoba (Northern Canada), one of the few towns where polar bears roam freely, it is common (and strongly encouraged) for residents to leave their car doors unlocked. This practice is not due to negligence but is instead a crucial safety measure - in the event of an unexpected encounter with one of these massive predators, the person can quickly seek shelter in a nearby vehicle. Known as the "Polar Bear Capital of the World," Churchill faces unique challenges in coexisting with wildlife, prompting the community to adopt unusual strategies in effort to ensure the safety of people, as well as of wildlife.

I'm so glad your friends are both okay. That's so horrible.
Thanks, anon. It was about a decade ago (although the incidents happened in different years), so time's marched on. They're both doing well now.
#it was actually at the same festival#i volunteered there for a year and worked there for another two#and the assaults happened in that time#it's actually part of why i left the festival#it was a bunch of artists basically descending on a regional aus town every year to create art and learn and develop#and the nature of it was that the festival wanted diverse artists to attend#particularly lgbtqi+ artists#and then did nothing to protect them once they were there#i had huge issues with it especially as at the time i was working in marketing / publicity#and felt we were marketing to audiences we would be putting in danger#it didn't help that everyone who worked at the festival was extremely young#like god#i was about 21 or 22 i think at the time and i think the festival director was only 25#and i was not very good at advocating for my own opinions although tbh i also don't think i had the vocabulary for it that i do now either#but y'know#it's given me a deeply rooted passion for artist safety#which sounds extremely uncool lol but i've worked in and out of the field ever since#a large part of my current job at the theatre company is in safe and equitable workplaces#actually right now even i'm working on a safety strategy for working with deaf actors and artists#as we're developing a new show which has a lot of them#so i've been doing a lot of training and interviewing deaf people and advocates to develop it#work's even paying for me to learn auslan which has been amazing#and like the fact that my job even exists now i think is a sign of how far we've come over the last decade#but still#probably revealing too much about my real life here right now haha

As I was going through some of the images just now, I found this cool perspective shot of what seems to be an early version of the Wolffort town and the castle up top!

I’ve been learning Norwegian with books and Duolingo for the last (almost) year and every time I read “helgen” I instantly think of the exact opposite of what I’m supposed to think of. Practicing Norwegian? Think of Skyrim. Playing Skyrim? Why is this town named “the weekend”? I can’t win. The wrong one is always the first to come to mind
#emma posts#Skyrim#game developers: open up a Norwegian dictionary and point to a word at random#that’s a town now#it could also be a joke or something#I don’t remember if the start of the game takes place during an in-game weekend but if it does#the town only lasted a weekend (to you)#but a weekend implies two days#maybe it’s a Swedish word or something instead#I haven’t gotten that far into Swedish and Icelandic uses a lot of different letters#they seem to have gotten rid of a lot of them on the continental Nordic countries#but I don’t know ANY danish and I have no concept of Faroese (I am so sorry if I massacred the spelling)#I don’t have a Swedish dictionary so I’d have to use google translate or something to check#Icelandic seems to have more words for things than Norwegian but I’m not really learning that language yet#my grandparents decided to try learning Icelandic first and I am like. in awe but also a bit sorry#they don’t really have a reason to learn Norwegian and Swedish though. unlike me#and apparently Icelandic is the hardest to learn. which is why I developed my fantastic learning strategy#Norwegian seems slightly easier to learn as a native English speaker than Swedish does. and Icelandic is obviously the hardest. but it’s#also closest to their shared ancestor (remember I’m talking about language) so if I start with Norwegian it will be easiest and then#with each of the other languages the next should be easier than it would be without the other two#Norwegian and Icelandic have an interesting history as related languages but that’s not important to this discussion#but… Icelandic is all the same and Norwegian and Swedish have a whole bunch of regional stuff and oh boy idk#but all I need to know for the foreseeable future is how to read and listen#I don’t need writing and speaking yet#this would be so much easier if my grandparents had not just switched to English and forgot any of the other languages they grew up with#though the Icelandic ones didn’t speak much at all compared to my dad’s parents who spoke some of theirs as kids#I could know even more languages by now if everyone hadn’t just switched to English. though I keep forgetting how to write Spanish. that’s#only half related though. since it’s the second most popular language in my country we had some classes as kids and some media that was#bilingual but not enough for me to ever be fluent. plus I freeze up any time I try conversation because I get too nervous about making#mistakes. I’m so off track in the tags though

Listen, sometimes it's not enough to write the to-do list. Sometimes you gotta put on 1930s jazz or 1950s big band music and put on a dress and a whole face of vintage inspired makeup and pretend that you must clean your apartment because the bridge club is coming over later and Lucille will be whispering behind her cards about you if things are out of place and that's valid.

It’s election season again which means I’m surrounded by leftists telling me they don’t vote because it doesn’t “do enough”, and they’d prefer to just do praxis like okay? Do both?? This is not a dichotomy. We live in a vote-by-mail state, there is nothing stopping you from taking the ten minutes to register for your new address, get a ballot, vote for the props to raise minimum wage and protect tenants from unfair rent increases and eviction, and drop it at one of the easily-locatable ballot boxes in the city. It’s an hour out of your day. Do you also not wipe your ass because it doesn’t get it “clean enough”

Round 3 has concluded!
Here are the results and next matchups for Round 4 (Quarterfinals). Round 4 should start in the next few days as soon as I make the polls. I'm kind of thinking I might go down to 2 a day vs. the 4 I've been doing so far since the pool is getting smaller.
Also, I decided to just throw Benedict and Orlaea together as a pair since that seems to be what the past two polls have tended towards. I'll just make that the general rule from now on.
Results:
Frederica vs. Trish
Dragan vs. Corentin
Cats vs. Julio and Jens (as a pair)
Benedict vs. Orlaea
Quahaug vs. Decimal
Anna vs. Milo
Gustadolph vs. Roland
Cordelia vs. Avlora
New matchups for Round 4:
Frederica vs. Dragan
Cats vs. Benedict and Orlaea (as a pair)
Decimal vs. Anna
Roland vs. Cordelia

wild how addicted i am to nuzlocking now lol i expect this period will abruptly end at some point in the future but i was like "lemme just finish inclement emerald so I can drop this fixation and do other things" ... then promptly started renegade platinum instead of doin anything else.
sidenote after radical red (and to a lesser extent, inclement emerald), all other games feel like torture for nuzlocking. it's absurd how much time proper level grinding takes without infinite rare candies/auto cap function. like there are tons of other great QOL features i got spoiled by in those roms (especially radred) and I know renegade platinum is a good bit older so it makes sense that it's different. but i'm like i surely hope everyone who makes romhacks now just makes at least an optional setting for infinite candies and infinite repels at the bare minimum. those features alone make the game feel so much better.
#personally i also realllly really liked the ability to turn off EVS#as well as a toggle to automatically get supplied with farmable items#as well as infinite move relearns/nature changes#however I can recognize that some hacks are purposefully designed around stuff like nature changes and iv changes being a limited resource#so i don't mind those being left out purposefully#but RR minimal grinding mode just made me go like#'oh yeah i could see myself nuzlocking hard games if it's like THIS'#it lets you get down to the actual DIFFICULTY of strategy#and not just lose to things like not being leveled enough or taking the time to meticulously EV train#which takes AGES for you to do but all the enemy trainers have perfect spreads#anyways it's funny that renplat still has good QOL over base games#like 'infinite' TMS#but i'm also aghast at the amount of level grinding i've had to do even just around the first 2 gyms#i'm like ok if you don't give me access to fast training methods until a little bit into the game alright#but there's not even that many TRAINERS to fight yet#i've had to do so much wild battling just to keep a decent number of pokemon on pace with the boss/miniboss trainers#it's an absurd waste of time#i know i could use a cheat to get candies in but#i've always had issues getting action replay cheats to work with my emulator#like sometimes they do but sometimes not and i hate the tedium of trying it till it works#so thats why i was trying this first run without candies#bc i see that there's apparently a training 'solution' in solaceon town#but now i'm like my god. how much more grinding do i need to do before i get there#pokemon sp#d
