Exploring the intersection between person and place.

Extinction

There is this insatiable appetite human beings have and it’s literally and figuratively starving the rest of the world. And I know in my own way, I contribute to this, and I need to change if I want to see a nourishing environment for these beautiful creatures to flourish in. Because watching any life exist in this way is just not an option. Learn more about the plight of the Polar here. #Extinction #Politics #Imbalance #TheTide #SeaLegacy

And then my instructor shared how to make snow and initially I was so worried I was going to ruin the piece but then I got the technique down and I just couldn’t stop myself. A big thank you to Ann for adopting my trees. 🙂

“Social media is not just personally unhealthy, it has become a threat to democracy. The tech companies that give us access to an infinity of information have become all-powerful and morally corrupt. And the lack of diversity in Silicon Valley fosters the development of products that idolize efficiency and greed, points us towards a dystopic future global monoculture. We don’t just hear all this, but we feel it, too. Something is profoundly wrong.”

And in other news…

1. Hear a loud beep every 15 minutes, but only during daylight hours. I need to sleep.
2. Oh dear. This is tough. Hahaha! I’ll take dating a woman who is seven-feet tall because then she can reach all the top shelf food items at the grocery store. During basketball, I can assist and she can slam dunk. Volleyball, I’ll set and she spikes. And tall people get served far faster at restaurants than short people. Yep. Height wins.
3. Know how long the human race will continue to survive on earth. I suspect our current political climate is shortening the span.
4. I’ll take the fries found in the garbage can. I like mustard but I’d vomit downing a glass of the spicy stuff.

Your turn!
