it is so so so so terrible when something I like becomes popular.
they're not natural but those underground tunnels full of pipes and wires beneath cities are a type of biome to me
like these are literally some kind of environment. some kind of habitat even.
so i just learned that people fucking dove inside a god damn iceberg and good to know that even for cave divers, who in my opinion are already a special kind of unhinged, and i say that with all affection, there are people even more unhinged than that
I was going to post some Choice Horrifying Quotes from the article, but turns out the whole thing is a horror story and i’m just.
the fact that they got trapped and pulled in and thought they might die three times and were still like “hey what if we do one more” and only didn’t die because they decided to have a meal first??
yeah you wouldn’t need to change anything for this to be a TMA episode i absolutely agree, the damn thing already tried to kill them three times
okay guys u gotta read it. I was making highlights but it turned into a summary. still. read it. so worth it.
Ok so two people sink down to look around. Jill and her partner. First glimpse of horror (lots and lots of sea creatures) happens. But everything is pretty and they continue on
That’s the sound of their way in collapsing btw.
They find a way out. And then proceed to dive in again
they get out again.
The photos are sublime. So next day, Wes decided, hey, i want to go with you. Remember the camera i tested? We’re going to take even better pictures with it.
so they dive
and the current picks up again
Dude.
They got sucked in, obv. Water pouring down, the three try to get out. Fail. There’s no way up.
And then Jill decides to show human determination and ingenuity. Holy shit.
They get out. They see the boat with the science team, reaching for them. They’re late for two hours, but alive.
i did not manage to find the iceberg photos, but her other stuff is breathtaking
these photos are from some of her other cave dives
Can you elaborate?
Ahem…
Have fun.
Gettin REAL annoyed at all these posts about black techno not posting any examples OF black techno.
The content itself is arguably more important than the discourse surrounding it. Black music is stolen and reappropriated time and time again throughout history, and I’m sick of the music being used as culture war fodder and discared rather than their legacy being experienced and celebrated.
Like, Acid Tracks spawned an entire GENRE. This one track made by a couple of black men fucking around with a cheap synth most regarded as tacky and useless created a musical INSTITUTION, and the black roots of acid house and acid techno are borderline forgotten nowadays. How many people associate ska with white late 90s skate culture rather than the Carribean blacks that created it?
Don’t just talk about it, listen to it!
