In Focus: Chicago’s Freezing Fire

On Tuesday night, a huge vacant warehouse on Chicago’s South Side went up in flames. Fire department officials said it was the biggest blaze the department has had to battle in years and one-third of all Chicago firefighters were on the scene at one point or another trying to put out the flames. Complicating the scene was the weather — temperatures were well below freezing and the spray from the fire hoses encased everything below in ice, including buildings, vehicles, and some firefighting gear. The warehouse was gutted, but the fire was contained. Fire crews remain on the scene as some smaller flare-ups continue to need attention.

The Most Accurate Synopsis Ever

docfilms:

In honor of our upcoming Studio Ghibli series, we decided to make a gifset that would also serve as an allegory for your upcoming journey.

This is from the part in Kiki’s Delivery Service where Kiki goes off to train as a witch for a year.

Just like our plucky heroine, you’ve probably just left everything you’ve ever known and everyone you’ve ever loved to start a whole new life in a big (sometimes scary, sometimes lonely) city.

When you get here you might bounce off the ground or run into some trees or temporarily spin out of control (metaphorically, of course).

And that’s okay.

I cut out the ending bit of the message about Doc, not because I do not love Doc (totally do) but because as a fourth year this is my future.
