ran across an interview with the mcguffins where they discuss Painted Land: In Search of the Group of Seven, a documentary project led by themselves, and art historian michael burtch. and before i go embarking on a quest to get hold of it, i'm wondering has @moreorloess.bsky.social seen it?

a big ol paddler's salute to author and explorer adam shoalts and his incredible solo foot and canoe traverse of arctic canada from old crow near the alaska border to baker lake adjacent hudson (see map). HOWEVER,

map of shoalts' 2017 journey, from canadian geographic

from the author/explorer adam shoalts, quoted in canadian geographic,

"The long upriver journeys were among the most extreme aspects of the expedition. I made four major ascents: on the Mackenzie River, from the little Indigenous community of Tsiigehtchic to Fort Good Hope, N.W.T.; on the Hare Indian River to its headwaters northwest of Great Bear Lake; on the Dease River, N.W.T., to Sandy Creek, near the Nunavut border; and then soon after that on the Coppermine River, which crosses from the Northwest Territories into Nunavut and then back again."

me adding: from coppermine to chain of lakes, to the hanbury river, then the thelon river, to baker lake

This is less exciting because it's about Blockbuster, but I had a map on the kitchen wall of all the Blockbusters in the area and I'd put red Xs through the ones where I owed late fees because their systems weren't connected and if I avoided those I could still rent movies from the others.

there's a lot in AM's essay to like. off the mark i like the term "thickness" where one might be inclined to use "literariness" b/c it's got that anthropological valence, and its utility for thinking about the topic is manifold (appropriate and convenient!)
