the earth is having a bit of a microbial hemorrhoidal attack as of late at the McMurdo dry valley in antarctica. we have melted into the glacier enough that we have unearthed some “extremophile” microbes that have evolved the ability to eat iron and sulfur in the zillion years or so they have been chillin’ hardcore under ice…
so earth is having some gnar-gnar anal leakage of the fire and brimstone type. it is literally seeping out stuff that has previously in our existence been about 1300 ft up its ass. (doesn’t extremophile sound like someone who has to whack it while bungee jumping?)
since we are talking mcmurdo - i highly recommend werner herzog’s movie : encounters at the end of the world. he travels to the scientific encampents around mc murdo, and it’s not your average penguin movie. tho there are some penguins in it. mostly a study of the crazy place and the crazier people that choose to live there. (looks more like a strip mine than the tents and flags i expected)…
so for the record - i don’t like melting and/or bleeding glaciers - don’t wanna argue ’bout it. i like my glaciers fucking way glacial - like the kind that smash titanics - not ass bleed.
what, oh what have we done…..
