I like how the frost giants in Thor 1 are presented as these scar-riddled tough-skinned creatures with heavy voices that inspire fear in even the Asgardians and then the few times we see Loki transform he’s got smooth baby skin, well defined skin markings, softest shade of blue imaginable

Genuinely so disappointed with how little worldbuilding there is of Jotunheim in the mcu AND the comics. Like you mean to tell me theres a whole realm made of ice that can sustain a population of literal giants and huge terrible beasts, and youre not even a little bit interested in how it works??

COLD WEATHER TIPS AND RESOURCES (ALBERTA BASED)
all resources will be alberta based as that is where i am located, however i’d like to expand this list to the rest of my nation’s homelands which are saskatchewan and manitoba mainly.
i made this post the other day and i wanted to add more resources and information!
my basic tips for anyone in the cold
1. Layers will save your life wether you have actual winter gear or not. I exclusively wear baggy pants for comfort and style, but also so that i can wear at least 2 base layers, my go-to is a base layer of waffle weave long johns under tapered sweatpants (tapered is important to me personally, It makes it so i can tuck my pants into my boots easily!)
2. the rule with layering is that you still must have your entire range of motion so that you can keep blood flow to all your extremities, ESPECIALLY your fingers and toes. If two pairs of socks make it so you can’t move your toes around, ditch the second layer. Same with gloves. On that note- i prefer mittens to gloves with individual fingers. They might have more mobility but mittens are more comfortable for me personally.
3. Wind protection- staying out of the wind is the most important part of all of this. wind chill can make the air feel significantly colder, wind burn and frostbite can set in within 10 minutes of skin being exposed to extreme cold like the -40 C and below weather alberta has been experiencing. Wether you protect yourself from the wind.
4. if you absolutely have to sleep rough find a place that is a) safe and accessible for you and your needs b) out of the wind, and c) a place you can set up a tent or tarp. i can’t stress enough how much colder the wind makes things.
5. FOR HOUSED FOLKS. ESPECIALLY SETTLERS. if you see someone sleeping rough, use the resources provided. ask them if they need help. hell, if you have a spare room, heated garage, empty basement, fucking let your neighbours in!!! do what you can within your means and with the privilege you have. if you can’t provide a warm space you can provide other necessities.
necessities for unhoused folks braving this weather:
-MONEY (i can’t stress this enough. i don’t care if they buy drugs or alcohol, harm reduction saves lives)
- hand warmers
-easy to eat snacks (nothing crunchy, lots of folks have dental issues)
-gloves
-toques
-scarves
-socks
-long johns and leggings (waffle knit is everything in this weather)
-wind breakers/wind pants
-winter jackets and snow pants
-sturdy warm shoes
-water bottles
-cigarettes
-gift cards for food (i know a lot of you got tim’s cards for christmas)

REMEMBER THE LAND NEEDS THE COLD. THIS COLD IS NATURAL, WHAT IS NOT NATURAL IS THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE WEATHER AND THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE DYING ON THE STREETS.

i do not pity israel. never have, and never will.
each night that gaza experiences is deadlier than the last, as idf soldiers record propaganda tiktoks, make rave parties and grwms and fit checks, gloat over having food and water, and film themselves deriving sadistic pleasure from torturing their hostages and victims and desecrating the dead.
Palestinians have to display their martyred before the camera for you to believe the atrocities that the zionist entity has subjected them to. they cannot even mourn in private. the apartheid entity murders them in cold blood, and you deliver the killing blow by doubting them.
babies whose families have been killed will never get to know their own name.
i can't reshare a tenth of the videos and photos that cross my timeline. i have seen more dead children in the past month than i have known death my entire life.
israeli settlers burn olive trees, bomb bakeries and fishing boats, shower white phosphorus and earthquake bombs on the captive civilians of gaza. you already know about the disastrous effects of white phosphorus, but earthquake bombs were last used during ww2 to wipe out entire cities.
how holy is the land that seeks to be built over the mass graves of thousands of children? is it holier than the miracle of a child being born in this hypocritical world?
all 11 universities in gaza have been bombed. academics should be agitating right now, especially those who call themselves "decolonial thinkers." destruction of universities is a sinisterly deliberate act to sabotage the Palestinians who will survive this great catastrophe.
the act of cleansing your hands before prayer is extremely important to muslims. no part of us can remotely comprehend the grief of the mother who refused to wash her hands from the blood of her children after losing them in a zionist airstrike over gaza. "I swear I won't wash them, I won't wash my hands, how else am I supposed to sleep near my kids."
it is only both moral and right when one side defends itself. the other side are the price of war, no better than insects and cattle and sheep left to die within the four walls of the slaughterhouse.
this situation should not be up for debate, but let me finish with one final thing : do your research about Palestine. HOWEVER. you do not need a degree in middle east studies to object to an ongoing genocide. if someone outwits you in a debate about historical details and every nuance of a subject, you were and will remain entirely correct in objecting to a genocide.
may those martyred rest in peace and be reunited again with their loved ones in heaven's eternal vastness.
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE.
glory to Palestinian resistance. from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Rabbit au Olivia has been slowly taking over the entire oni playlist and I've tried slowing it by cutting songs that I don't care for much but it's not helping much at this rate she's going to make up a third of the playlist while canon Olivia is still stuck with like 4 songs
#rat rambles#oni posting#take that canon in that late statement extremely lightly ofc lol#but yeah its not my fault that its ridiculously easy to find rabbit au olivia songs#jackie has also been building up a decent chunk of songs but thats because she's also easy to find stuff for#anyways ty rabbit au olivia for giving me an excuse to put the common cold by the paper chace onto a playlist#its my favorite part of her playlist because its the point in the timeline where she just rly lets go and leans into ot#but then we go back to her not having fun with it with hello my destroyer by p.h.f. :/#rly the first half is the rougher bit to listen through for me but thats mostly because fine by lemon demon is there#I dont care much for the song but it fits her WAY too well for me to not include it#hey at least rabbit au olivia has the decency to make her section easy to sort based on approximate timeline#cough cough jackie#also raccoon au olivia but thats mostly because most of her songs are vaguely similar story sections#I mean hell she has two nastyona songs out of her 4 total#at least canon olivia has no repeat artists to make my life a bit easier#although its not actually sorted by timeline rn cause then Ill have to adjust to finding a different thumbnail when finding the playlist#congrats to bmbmbm by black midi for surviving all the playlists purges despite being the first song on the playlist#anyways Ive been doing some song hunting to destress and Ive actually found some good songs#putting me in a creative mood. hopefully itll stick around long enough for me to use it lol

Man, even if they cured covid tomorrow I would still bring a mask with me in winter. That and a hat is like wearing a balaclava that it easy to take off once inside. Even though I wear n-95s now I’m still going to be wearing a cloth one on top this winter because when it’s -18 degrees Fahrenheit (around -27 for you Celsius people) and you have a cloth mask on my skin feels so much less burning and my throat stings less. I don’t know why we didn’t think of this combination sooner but man, I’m not stopping it this winter
#emma posts#i would wear an actual balaclava when doing outdoor activities and snowmobiling. obviously.#but just walking somewhere close by? amazing#global warming might be giving us more days that peel your skin off but I’m winning this one#I mean. we’ve always had cold af winters but school used to be dismissed when it was like-25 or -30 and windy#now schools are like ‘hmm. idk. how many of these days are we going to have?’#we used to get really fucking cold sometimes but it was mostly just fucking cold#I hate global warming summers more though#my ass has no heat resistance and will melt on the spot and die#you can only take off so many layers. you can put on significantly more#I joke about melting and dying but I’ve actually gotten pretty close a few times 😅#makes a person like summ a little less :/#there is a reason I prefer to either be air conditioned or in water#luckily we have a lot of water here#those 110+ days will kill you faster than you realize#we rarely had those in the past but now we often get at least a few each year#and when you are on pavement in that weather? die#make sure you get electrolytes too! I wasn’t as familiar with heat as I was with cold and I really fucked my self up by only drinking#a bunch of water! we get winter survival training as kids but no one went over extreme heat when I was younger#normal heat. sure. but now it is frequently worse#it is hell but at least where I live is famous for lakes#drought is worse though. sometimes rivers dry up so much you can walk through them without getting your thighs wet
