Welp… Time to reread Silent Spring by Rachel Carson.
The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

Seeing my Oxalis triangularis, Purple Shamrock, flowering on this cold day brightened up my mood.

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

I genuinely can’t tell the difference between wanting to delete mainstream social media apps or being tired of seeing ads.

Every morning while tending to the garden I wonder if it’ll be my last day for the rest of the year. But who am I to tell the flowers to stop blooming? 🌱

As a northern living in the south, the weather has me spoiled. I now consider 50-60’s cold. Perhaps this is a sign to salvage what little cold tolerance I have left.

Running my fingers along the lineup of books, my eyes quickly scanning the titles. A thought pops into my mind.
I miss when library’s used book cards. I’m always curious when the last time a book adventured out into the world.

A part of adulthood I don’t like is when the local grocery store moves items around. Let alone the entire layout of the store.

Talking to my husband regarding the AWS server outage today. To which he mentions how a company called Cloudflare uses lava lamps to encrypt their data. I genuinely thought he was messing with me…

Part of reading comprehension is understanding when a post is not directed at you and doesn't actually need your input. This is a part a lot of people seem to struggle with.

If only there was a way to communicate with my Fitbit that I’m not overtraining. I just so happen to push myself out of a slump after seeing numbers on the scale that I haven’t seen in months.

Trickle-down economics has and never will work. Ethical millionaires/billionaires are a rarity
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
