Swear to God if I have to see/hear one more "here's how YOU, an individual, can conserve water!" announcement I am going to start biting. Tech companies are boiling whole ass rivers to generate AI slop, but it's "ooohhh take shorter and less frequent showers." JFC just let me wash my ass in peace.

I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without

a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted

So poetic for an infrastructure…
there will be heat.
there will be humidity.
there will be sun.
there will be darkness.
there will be rain.
there will be wind.
there will be storms.
there will be middle of the days.
there will be overnights.
there will be water flowing.
there will be work to do.
there will be.
there? we’ll be.

A stunning 2,000 year old Roman bowl made of translucent blue-green mosaic glass.
Looks like it contains the turquoise blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea! 🌊

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more
