I want to let everyone know that work from my Land Studies series has been included in a new book by the talented folks at Another Earth.

What Makes a Lake? Tracing Movement brings together the work of more than 80 artists to create a portrait of Earth’ lakes, rivers, and oceans. This collection of images and text offers an intimate experience of places that we hope create a new connection to and commitment for caring for our most vulnerable ecosystems. In exploring an expanded scope of lakes around many different communities, we see how all these bodies of water are not isolated but rather flowing in and out of one another, reminding us how much our impact ripples out. What changes can be made with new awareness?

What Makes a Lake? Tracing Movement is beautifully designed and printed and is now available for pre-sale, so you can order on the Another Earth website: https://another-earth.com/books.

Curated and Edited by Abbey Meaker, Estefania Puerta and Cristian Ordóñez.

Book design by Cristian Ordóñez and Abbey Meaker.

This publication was supported by the Burlington City Arts Community Fund Grant.

In the past, asbestos was often employed in the construction sector, but it is no longer present in any building supplies. Today, several nations, including Australia, have banned it because to its documented health dangers.

E.S.G. Good for Wall Street Bad for America

Do the Math - A lot of #ESG funds look like an index fund with higher fees. #economy Wall Street - great at coming up with funds that offer little innovation and getting you to pay more for it

By David Nelson, CFA E.S.G. What is it? Why is it important? And why did Congress just vote to block President Biden’s Department of Labor rule, a rule that encourages private retirement fiduciary is to use ESG in the decision-making process? The bill passed both the House and Senate with bipartisan support on a very slim majority. It now heads to the White House, where the President has promised…

Pinned whumpees! Whumper pinning them to a wall, holding them in place with strength alone. Or maybe Whumpee's pinned below something- like debris from a collapse. Just, pinned whumpees <3

random question, do you think it's possible for someone who has lost their creativity to regain it? ..asking for a friend..

im not sure what your situation is, but i believe everyone has creative potential just from being a human being and you cant just permanently lose your creativity. i struggle with losing creativity at times, usually its when I go into a depressive period. I usually just keep making art through it, ill look through old ideas I wrote down or work on commissions just stuff that doesnt require a ton of creativity but keeps me working on art. even if I dont feel good doing it just doing the work of making art helps me to eventually want to make art again

It Will Hurt Like Hell

@febuwhump Day 3: “Bite down on this.”

CW: cave in, begging, description of injuries, field surgery, implied amputation

Medic ran their hand through their hair as they took in the nightmare in front of them. The whole team had known there was a risk of cave ins in these old mines, but none of them ever expected it to actually happen. That sort of never actually happened. Right?

Medic let out a groan at their collective stupidity. The injuries were numerous. Even Medic was sporting a gash on their head that was leaving their ears fuzzy. But they didn’t have time for that now. Not to be injured. Not to be angry. Right now they had work to do.

Most of the injuries didn't seem life threatening. Lots of nasty cuts and bruises. One or two broken bones. Team Leader had also been hit on the head and it was already clear they were nursing a bad concussion. For the most part, all of the injuries were things the rest of the team could help each other muddle through. All except Whumpee that is.

Whumpee had been standing right under the support when it had given out. By some miracle, the broken beam had protected their head from any of the proceeding rockfall. Unfortunately however, most of the larger boulders had instead landed on their arm, leaving them pinned to the ground and screaming in pain.

"Doc! Help me! Please Doc. Oh my God, it hurts! It hurts so much!"

Medic knelt down next to Whumpee and shoo'd a team member away who was trying to move some of the rocks off. It only took a cursory glance to know Whumpee's arm couldn't be saved. It was completely crushed under massive rock debris all the way up passed the elbow. The bones would be pulp underneath it, and Whumpee was bleeding profusely.

Medic continued to tune out Whumpee's cries and began to pull off their backpack. They took out their medical kit and proceeded to tie a tourniquet around their arm.

"Okay Whumpee, I know it hurts. We're going to get it taken care of in a moment. I need you to take some deep breathes for me and drink this, as much as you can swallow."

Whumpee nodded and swallowed the last of their screams before taking some deep breathes and letting Medic tip the contents of their flask into their mouth. A few seconds later Whumpee was coughing, the agonizing pain of their arm seemingly forgotten for the moment.

"God Doc! Tequila?"

"Gin. And it's all I've got for painkillers right now. Do you want more?"

After a pause Whumpee nodded and Medic gave them another large swallow. While Whumpee was coughing again Medic sat up and and removed their belt.

"At least buy me dinner first."

"Glad to know the gin is working. Now, bite down on this."

Medic folded their belt in half twice and held it in front of Whumpee, who's eyes grew wide.

"W-why?"

"Whumpee I need you to do it quickly. You're loosing blood fast and I'd rather not wait until you go into shock."

Whumpee's face drained of what was left of it's color as they realized what was about to happen.

"Doc... Medic, please. Please don't do this. Please don't cut off my arm. You can save it. I know you can. You're a good doctor. Please don't take my arm."

Medic sighed and leaned close to Whumpee.

“Whumpee. I understand this is hard for you, and I won’t expect you to take this well. But you are loosing a lot of blood, and you’re going into shock. I’m a good doctor, but not a miracle worker. I can’t save your arm. We’re going to have to take it off eventually. And I’d rather it be when you’re properly sedated too, but there is no way we are going to be do that. Some of these boulders are too big to move even with all of us trying. Now, I'm about to do surgery on you with only alcohol as an anesthetic. It's going to hurt like hell, and you're going to bite something, unless you want it to be your tongue, bite down on this."

Whumpee looked at Medic with large eyes that were slowly glazing over. They appeared to falter a bit as though their conscious was wavering, but after a few seconds they leaned their head forward and bit down on the belt.

"Thank you." Medic whispered. "I promise I'll make this as quick as possible."

i watched 47 meters down last night bec i wanted an easy watch and i didnt really like it altogether. sharks do not scare me and shark movies themselves do not rly do anything for me bec like all man vs. wild animal stories if you willingly go into the habitat of a creature that is dangerous to humans and get attacked i consider that a YOU problem & its nearly impossible to suspend disbelief but also. the most anxiety-inducing part of the movie was not the shark but the fact that the characters are trapped underwater like i think THAT is genuinely terrifying. stranded on the ocean floor, running out of air, unable to surface quickly (like you would want to bec you are a human being) bec of the bends... there was a point where a character swam past a drop off point (genuinely scary to look down and not see the bottom) to a midpoint and then couldnt figure out which direction she came from... being trapped underwater and not being able to tell up from down? THAT is scary n i wish more underwater horror/suspense did that instead of. yknow. sharks.

as a certified European, may I chime in on the travel distance issue: I think the idea is not that Europeans don't travel long distances, we just don't casually travel long distances

so some peeps totally do visit family for the holidays even if they live up to 6 hours away, but it's a big thing

or if you visit a friend that lives 2,5h hours away, then that was months in planning

travel over 1 hour for a concert and you must be a really really big fan of the artist

commuting is kind of a liminal space, but at least in my circles it's like.. if you commute over an hour, you might be insane (this one is actually kinda valid, cause your commute time should be calculated into your work time plus travel can be expensive, which both dilutes your hourly wage)

so of course, each and every one of the 700 whatever million Europeans will have a different opinion on this, but I feel like the 'big event' vs 'casual weekend' difference in travelling attitude matters

absolutely that makes sense!!!

Whumpril day 22

22: (sponge bath, infection, “let’s get you cleaned up.”)

About a week ago, Whumpee had finally managed to escape. Whumpee wasn’t sure when they’d done it, but apparently Whumpee had broken the hinges of their cell door, snuck upstairs, and escaped through a window. Whumper wasn’t worried though. 

Whumper wasn’t surprised by the pitiful knocking at their door. They were in no rush, taking a few minutes to finish one last chapter in their book. When they were done, they made their way to the door.

Opening the door, they found exactly who’d they’d expected. It was Whumpee. Their body was littered with bruises and dirt, their clothing a mess. They looked small, both from weight loss and from the way they curled around themselves to keep the cold at bay. With the thin clothing they wore and the blue tinge to their skin, Whumper didn’t think they were particularly successful.

Whumper smirked. There’d been a reason they’d taken Whumpee somewhere so isolated from civilization. They stepped aside, giving Whumpee room to enter. “Let’s get you cleaned up.”
