🎩🤡 Ah yes, because clearly the paramount concern of 19th century French-Canadian #lumberjacks was perfecting their Cirque du Soleil auditions in the #Maine #woods. Nothing says neuropsychiatric condition like an unexpected game of Simon Says with a touch of acrobatics! 🪓🌲🙃

My misfortunes have been brought upon me chiefly by an incorrigible, though perhaps useful, race of mortals called #lumberjacks, whom, however, I would name the #Cossacks of #UpperCanada, who, having been reared among the oaks and pines of the wild forest, have never been subjected to the salutary restraint of laws.

🚀🪵 "Wood that's stronger than steel," they say, as if #trees have been hitting the gym. 🏋️‍♂️💪 Meanwhile, #TechCrunch excitedly repeats itself like a malfunctioning parrot. 🦜🔁 Can someone tell the #lumberjacks to stop sharpening their chainsaws? 🌲🔪

Contrary to Bunyan’s current folk hero status, Hammitt Brown recalled that in the earliest tale written about him — 1906’s “Round River Drive” — Bunyan was “a jerk.” The story depicted Bunyan as a dishonest logger who tricked his men into taking logs around and around the same river so that he would never have to pay them.

That’s where it gets weird, though. Old French _matiere_ is derived from Latin _mater_ “mother”. The connection in meaning is supposed to be from wood, which is material to work with, the source or mother of which is the tree trunk.

Maybe Roman lumberjacks, instead of shouting “TIMBER!” when they cut down a tree, would shout, “MOM!”. It’s possible. Barely possible. Maybe not possible.

Berenice Abbott was perhaps best known for her urban photogaphy and portraits of artist and literary figures, but Abbott took two series of lumberjack photographs, the first in the High Sierra Mountains of California in 1943 and the second in Maine, 1967.
