Today’s Tribute to the Rain
Rain, rain, come my way, do not wait another day. It’s been a very dry summer and fall until now. Finally, the rain has started to fall in the last few days, and I am very grateful for all the plants, that now finally they receive the water they needed to thrive.

Is It Only A Matter Of Time Until We're On A Dry Desolate Rock
2023 is promising to be no better than 2022. How will we know? It will require us to become more aware, not letting ourselves become so bogged down we miss what’s occurring in front of us, and we will need to play a part at times. That last one is going to be the hardest. That’s because a lot of our species struggle with change.

Human Population and Conservation
If one thinks about what broad themes unite conservationists of all stripes a few main ideas emerge. Preserve biodiversity, maintain and expand wild habitat, decrease pollution and waste. Ultimately most of these boil down to a fairly simple formula. The more we can reduce man’s footprint on the planet the better it will be for every other living thing. The easiest and most straightforward method to achieve this end would be to significantly reduce the human population of the planet. I think most people understand this at some base level and I believe it explains a lot of the negative attitudes many people instinctually express when asked their feelings on the matter. Essentially the conservationist is asking us to admit that we are the problem, we are a net negative for the health of the planet, all living things would be better off if we ceased to exist. I know that few environmentalist/conservationists would put it exactly this way though many probably believe it. In point of fact until very recently I did too.

Survival
Hustle this hustle that...I truly believe once you are in your power hustling is off the table. It is the reason why there are some on this planet that has to worry about their next meal and others don't. One group has learned to use their circumstances to create a life of ease and different problems that have nothing to do with survival while others fight to scrounge for the last scraps society decides to leave them if they have the "money" for it. As a human as soon as we are born we are looked at as valueless by the world. We have to create our value and someone who is in a significantly worse position has a harder time of creating their wealth and abundance better yet even surviving. It is nothing compared to the movie star that entertains millions with their meat at the end of the day. We are all constantly on the go for our value,. we wake up and hope we can be used by the world and rewarded for it greatly. Although nothing changes we can all say we tried right? Well no. As soon as you spend your life trying to create value boom just like that in the blink of an eye it is gone because now you have new problems to focus on and now you can't even focus on surviving because of these new problems you are expected to solve. How many people right now this moment are probably eating something? A lot. Now I say this because it is something so simple but so real. We all need to eat. Why should this be overlooked? We do not live in a world where excess is cherished by the next person or where we are all "here" for each other. Being "there" for someone requires you to be present for them. This system has never been present and never will be present for us. The system is only created for the future and the future only. It is built for control, not survival. If it was built for survival we would have ideas in place so people cannot starve in a country where excess is discarded and what is already here is sold for more profit at the expense of many people's time and energy. It is sick. Each person on this planet can live here and maintain a decent life if we were to all work together to create a new system for the future. It is time we prioritize feeding the world. J Cole explained it best. We are all wired for profit. No one is thinking outside the box to create something new. Each person is creating objects, software, and ideas to feed the beast that is the system. If we changed the system to eradicate the desire for comfort to create more and more profit and prioritize helping others survive imagine how simple life could be. Imagine a world where you are "paid" (I put it in parentheses because I believe money in the way it is used should not be a thing because it is so subjectively evaluated) to save lives and provide the NEEDS of the people near you. I know what your business gurus are thinking. Why don't work to solve this problem? That is a tremendous amount of effort to solve a problem that can be solved by a shift of perception of the issues. My job is to bring my thoughts to others and create awareness about the topic until I have the means to manifest my vision. I have a very specific way I know things can work and if those in power could listen to me it could work but only with the shift of people's mindsets can this all take place. It requires patience. It requires care. It requires a complete re-shift in the way we understand the world. We need to prioritize LIFE in and of itself. I think it is obvious what we need to do. We have raped and pillaged the world for so long to reach a place of comfort and safety from each other. It is time now that we come together and solve the bigger problems those before have created. Our oceans are polluted. Our food sources are ravaged. We are living in a modern-day apocalypse but we are so hyper-focused on our own gain we have lost the importance of the status of the world. It is time we all become more conscious of the societies we are working hard for and take a step back to slow down and unpack the traumas and issues we ALL have and figure out the root cause. Poverty should exist in a world where there is more than enough to go around.

What Humanity Accomplished
it all started with inspiration from another. right at the end of 2016, I was scrolling through Tumblr. by the end of 2017, I had gathered as many facts as I could, and despite the pure unadulterated horror of the Emoji Movie, Charlottesville Nazi, Manchester bombing, the public embarrassment from the worldwide broadcast of politics, and worse.

A giant sea turtle swallowed 6 pounds of marine garbage and died, how bad is the impact of marine garbage on animals?
A giant sea turtle died after swallowing 6 pounds of marine garbage Recently, a sea turtle weighing more than 200 pounds in Sanya was rescued because of an abnormal reaction. However, shortly after being brought back to the rescue center, the turtle unfortunately died. The veterinarian wanted to determine the cause of the disease through autopsy but found a large number of foreign objects in the turtle's body, such as masks, plastic bags, fishing nets, and other marine garbage. The garbage clogged the turtle's intestines and consequently left them necrotic.

Go Green? Enough Already
Drive a puny, fuel efficient car or hybrid; use an ugly little light bulb that emits a dull light and is hazardous when broken; wear a sweater in your own home in the winter and don’t be afraid to sweat in the summer; all in the name of "going green". I’m tired of being lectured to on how to live my life by elitists who don’t even follow their own rules. It’s time to say enough is enough. I would have no problem if conservation and recycling were spoken of in the context of energy efficiency and cost effectiveness, but the green movement has become an out of control religion based on what many experts now believe is a myth, man-made global warming. Americans are constantly bombarded by the media with this message of "going green" that is designed to give people a false sense of "doing good". In the process, they are willing to give up their individual rights one by one and without question. That is why "going green", which was once a cute little message, is now becoming an oppressive slogan.
