shadows

Okay, and the morning shadows are running behind them, I think.

So I can say with some certainty that the visitor center is probably oriented with its entrance facing the east.

Could be north!

But...I think it's east?

#which means the kids reached it early afternoon #can also compare to Jurassic World but I think the lighting's not going to be much to go by in that one #mapping isla nublar #here we go #it's time #jurassic park

Okay, so, when they walk up the steps, the lighting is behind Hammond and co, pointing up toward the visitor center.

Assuming this is the morning (which is a fair assumption), that means the camera is NOT angled toward the east from here. They are not approaching from the west.

I believe they also cannot be heading north.

The kids' shadows are facing a different direction, meaning that this would be in the afternoon. Especially because both events take place in June, afaik.

Oh, hey, the shadows line up!

Not with the extra, though. Extras don't get shadows.

Maybe there was a cloud.

It's hard discussing women/wives in older literature because frequently someone will absolve a woman of all responsibility or say she had no power at all in the relationship because "she had no rights." And it's like, well yes, she had less rights than some women today, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have any responsibility or power ever. And you also need to look at the circumstances.

Mrs. Bennet in Pride & Prejudice for example, she is clearly not a beaten-down, controlled wife. Other than keeping her from spending them into debt, Mr. Bennet doesn't seem to restrain her in any way. She hosts parties frequently, gives quite a bit of money to her favourite child, serves fancy food; she clearly has a lot of freedom over the household budget. And yet, people will say that she couldn't have saved money. She clearly could have. Mr. Bennet wouldn't have stopped her and he wouldn't have squandered it himself. She's not some poor little oppressed housewife who lived in abject misery.

Catherine Earnshaw is described in Wuthering Heights as a thorn embraced by roses who bend themselves (her husband and his sister) to her will and comfort. Her husband is mostly a spineless coward. Yet, people argue to me that she had no power in this relationship because she was a woman. Yes she did! What book did you read? Edgar probably would have given in to her immediately if Nelly hadn't encouraged him otherwise.

The wives in Austen's novels who have very little power are Lady Bertram (Mansfield Park), who acts like a child, wants her husband to make decisions for her, and is coaxed like a child the only time they disagree; and probably Mrs. Tilney (Northanger Abbey), if we judge by how controlling General Tilney is of the household under Eleanor's tacit management. And yes, in the past a husband could totally run roughshod over his wife with very few consequences. He could limit her money, control her spending, and bully her out of her legally required pin money (allowance). But that doesn't mean every single one of them did! Most didn't. Colonel Brandon is disgusted by his brother's financial abuse of his wife in Sense & Sensibility. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë is describing a very financially abusive marriage, not a typical one. John Dashwood either defers to his wife or treats her as an equal. Lady Elliot in Persuasion kept her husband out of debt for years, meaning he listened to her about finances or she used soft power very capably. Like Mr. Bennet, lots of men were probably happy to have household management off their plate and a good dinner in front of them.

The amount of power a wife had on paper could vary massively in practice.

Addendum: this doesn't mean the system that granted husbands/men this much power was good or we should go back to it, because it sucked and could result in a ton of abuse and oppression and we are going back over my dead body.

Since Italy did not qualify for the World Cup, what team would Gia and Nonna throw their support behind?

Switzerland (neighbors to the northwest)

Austria (neighbors to the northeast)

Japan (they love Kenji)

Other (point out the obvious answer I missed)

Remaining time: 2 days 3 hours

#and yes yes FIFA is still problematic in their world but also I like to think that Jurassic World is a LITTLE better #what with them having avoided an apocalypse in 2022 #there's no point in hoping that things can't be a little better you know?#gia paradiso #nonna paradiso #jurassic world: chaos theory #jwct #chaos theory #the big cup #I'm shellshocked that Italy not only didn't qualify but apparently this is the THIRD TIME IN A ROW?#i went to Italy when they WON #THEY WERE ON TOP OF THE WORLD #they're the best!!!#and they DID NOT QUALIFY???

I SHOULD be detailing all sorts of adventures between Sammy and Gia in their heated rivalry over the World Cup, but.

You know.

swan2swan

Actually, upon further evidence, I don't think they have a choice in the matter. Like werewolves under the full moon, Sammy and Gia look at the rising ball, their pupils dilate, and then they begin tearing off their clothes to reveal FOOTBALL JERSEYS and slash their own faces with THE PAINTED FLAGS OF THEIR NATIONS before rushing out to Infect everyone else with the contagion of International Harmony.

#it's in their blood #kenji and yaz are the first to go #kenji gets torn apart like a wishbone with one half learning Japanese cheers for the first time while he hollers in Italian to support Nonn #yaz starts arguing about qualifiers and roots on Lebanon with her family #Ben knows to root for Italy because the doctors deserve to be happy #not sure who darius roots for...possibly senegal or jamaica #if it is senegal than he and zayna are BONDING and if it's anyone else she is gonna be spamming his phone every time things go in her favor #brooklynn gets arrested while covering deportations and intervening and gets bailed out by someone working for international intelligence #but even she bonds with people and slaps her allegiance to some non-USA country #one which is NOT Australia (her ex) except that Australia is in the same group as USA so...maybe she does root for them a little #she's very fond of Scotland and Ireland but IRELAND DID NOT QUALIFY THIS YEAR AND SHE'S VERY UPSET but Scotland is cool #which brings us back to Darius because Morocco and Haiti are in the division and I can see him rooting for one of them #we do not know darius's heritage or his mom or dad so #meanwhile Sammy is all about BRAZIL but also has some fondness for Mexico but BRASILLLLL HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE #brasil es numero uno #actually this year she's able to have fun rubbing brazil in her families' faces #her sisters are old enough to move out and her parents are cooler now #last time was No Fun #world cup #it's not about the evil corporations or the evil host it's about EVERYONE BEING ABLE TO MEET EACH OTHER #GIA GETS TO SPEND TIME IN THE USA #during PRIDE MONTH #*taps earpiece*#oh no #wait #ITALY DIDN'T QUALIFY???#....OKAY WHO IS SHE SUPPORTING?#WHO IS EVERYONE SUPPORTING???#maybe they qualified with the dinosaur boost but also #not how it worrrrrrks

Cutting it a little close here, but I want to make 100% sure...

Sun is behind the girls. Despite Yaz's words to Kenji about which direction "north" is, this logistically only works if they're on the northeast side of the island. Meaning this is fairly early-morning. 9-10 AM on what should be June 19th.

48 hours to set means it should be sealed on the morning of June 21st, but Kenji says they have "twelve hours" in the next episode while there's still daylight...I assume he's just being simple (or he is, as we have established, Bad At Math, and it's really seventeen or eighteen hours).

Considering the alternative of "they patched the boat on June 18th in the late afternoon" (bumping everything prior up a day), but that would mean...no, no, that doesn't work, because they're freaking out because they have to Leave Early and it's getting dark. If the boat was ready in the afternoon, casting off the night of the 20th wouldn't be a problem, because they'd have waited the required 24 hours.

This is the morning of the 19th, and they only had about 30 hours before Scorpios came knocking. Odds are they were going to head to the boat within 12 hours, sleep on it that night, and then cast off.

Great look at the Private Dock set here, too.

#this HAS to be the morning of the 19th there's just no alternative #.....buuuuut this then leads to another issue with the schedule which is that Sammy had to walk out on Brooklynn the next day #I had considered that maybe they argued on Day 1 #and then first thing on Day 2 they went to the construction site #which is near the raptor lab and close to camp #but then it would still be about 24 hours until it's ready #and they didn't spend all afternoon heading over there #so yeah brooklynn spent a whole day driving sammy crazy #following the vents and tunnels #...yeah I think every cloudy brooklynn-and-sammy scene takes place a full day after #it feels right #and it's really funny that way #they just Disappeared #...gonna hurt the format of my next set though #hm #we'll work it out #camp cretaceous timeline musings

The weather clouds over, but the kids take heart in seeing that their raft survived. There are still zero Compsognathuses to be found near camp, which makes assembling the last parts of the supplies easy. Everyone is buzzing with excitement, but no one really wants to talk about leaving or getting home, all too nervous for what's about to happen...Ben, especially, for some reason.

The raft launches tomorrow.

I need more stories where a hero walks into a zone after five hundred chapters and the local squad leader yells "THAT'S HEROPROTAG! GET HIM!" and all the henchmen just go "...no. We're not doing this. This guy defeated Warlord Mensch and the Horde Riders. We just graduated Henchman Academy two years ago and took up security duty. We are NOT doing this."

Watching Baze Malbus go out to the One Piece "Yes! We Can!" theme song was an Experience.

So...

How do you even run against Zohran Mamdani in the next decade?
