A rare natural phenomenon turns one of Austria’s most beautiful hiking trails into a 10 meter-deep lake, for half the year.
Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water.
Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Fish swimming over wooden benches, a grass-covered bottom, trees, roads, roads and even bridges create a surreal setting that feels like it belongs on dry ground. That’s because for half of the year, that’s exactly where it’s at.

“Advice for young feminists? Do something else besides feminism. I’m serious. The feminist blogosphere is oversaturated in my opinion. Please, find something else you love and take feminist theory there. It gets lonely over here in tech and video games – I have a great crew of other feminists but we are a little island in a vast sea. We need more feminist minded business bloggers, feminist theory wielding finance bloggers. Labor organizers with a feminist lens blogging. Can you imagine what Deadspin (the sports blog) would look like with a feminist on staff? Restructure writes about science, tech and feminism – join her! Publish a blog doing literary criticism with a feminist lens! Take on the NYT! Talk about class issues and feminism. Whatever it is, apply your feminism in a different space.”

love this idea. but how do we infiltrate, I wonder, especially with anti-feminist/feminist-unfriendly people running the media.

study, practice what you love, go to college, intern, volunteer, get a job, contact people who do what you love, start a group, etc. find others with common interests. start a band, make a music video, organize an exhibition, take a public speaking course, study whatever field it is you want to get into. don’t worry about whether it’s going to be ‘good’ just do it. when anyone starts an endeavor no one knows how it’s going to end up, it’s always a risk. take it.
it’s great to see so many young feminists quoting and reblogging quotes from feminists about feminism, however that becomes a self feeding internal loop. you don’t have to read every feminist theory book to be one. we all recognize the flaws in our world. the most feminist thing you can do is to be brave enough to take the risk and work on turning your dreams into actualizations. don’t think about your gender. dont think of it as an obstacle. if you reach a point where it does become an obstacle, find a way to work around it. don’t let anyone get in your way or bring you down.
