Da dentro a fuori: l'intestino usato nell'Artico come barriera contro il gelo e l'acqua di mare - Il blog di Jacopo Ranieri

Foto fuori dal contesto possono evocare circostanze straordinarie, causa l’interpretazione di scenari sulla base di concetti anacronistici o impressioni generate sulla base del progresso intercorso. Vecchie immagini di popoli diversi, che in qualche maniera sono stati in grado d’inspirare la globalizzata percezione di efficienza tecnologica concentrata verso un fine comune. Così talune inquadrature dei pescatori ... Leggi tutto

🚨 Permafrost holds ~2× the carbon in Earth’s atmosphere. Thaw lets microbes wake up, releasing CO₂ and methane—especially from abrupt thaw beneath lakes—adding a self-reinforcing climate feedback. The IPCC finds carbon loss from thaw is effectively irreversible on centuries-long timescales.

The #indigenous people 'breathing last breath' in #Putin's war 4,000 miles from home

by Josh Leyton, February 28, 2025

"One of the world’s oldest continuous communities is ‘breathing its last breath’ as some of its few remaining men die fighting for #Russia more than 4,000 miles away in #Ukraine.

"The #Yupik are among the threatened #IndigenousPeoples in the remote far north-east of the federation whose numbers are being further depleted by Vladimir Putin’s war.

[...]

"Recruits from a #ReindeerHerding community around 2,000 miles from the frontline are among those who have been conscripted or promised large payments to join the Kremlin’s war machine.

"The fate of those being mobilised, who are mainly drawn from the north, Siberia and far east, was revealed last week by the testimony of a 19-year-old soldier taken prisoner by Ukraine."

This owl sculpture has been giving me feels since I saw it & read its description [transcription errors mine]

It's on exhibit in the HearD Museum in Phoenix.

Private collection

These small figures share a posture referred to as kingyaq in Yup'ik that Chuna McIntire has described: "Kingyaq is to look back, like when the sun sets…Brother Sun looks back to remind us he will return in the morning. It is like the parents looking back at the children to check on them, walking behind." Kingyaq is a gesture of concern and reassurance, that we are safe within our place in the world, and in the family.
