Save Water Save Life

The essay tells us the importance of water as one of the natural resources of our planet and also its vitality for our life. Here it mentions the need to conserve water since without it living beings would be technically impossible to survive.

Governments and citizens should establish systems for water conservation since its scarcity is due to pollution, excessive use, climate changes and industrial expansions.

There are some methods that can help conserve water, such as: collecting rainwater, using it for only things that are really necessary, having responsible water management, and future generations will face serious water shortages.

Some advices :

Fix any leaks: Leaky faucets, pipes, and toilets can waste a lot of water. Have a home inspection by a licensed plumber to locate and fix any leaks in your plumbing system.

Turn off the water: Remember to turn off the water when you are not using it, whether it's brushing your teeth or washing dishes.

Install eco-friendly fixtures: Installing low-flow fixtures like showerheads, toilets, and faucets can help you save water.

That girl will astonish us all. Do not let the fact that she is so quiet fool you: she has powerful passions within her.

Ivan Turgenev, Rudin (1856)

#i love this man as much as hemingway did when he had no money for food but still bought all of turgenev's works from sylvia beach #'at first there were the russians; then there were all the others. but for a long time there were the russians.' - a moveable feast #ivan turgenev #rudin #literature

does anyone else find people working -- poring over texts, focused, eyes locked, brains turning, passionate, dedicated -- incredibly attractive?

Hot damn. Great question, I'd love to tell you.

High Fantasy

Look, this rainfrog is called Breviceps bagginsi, so I don't have a lot of choice, now do I?

[src]

Also, I would go with them to the end. Into the very fires of Mordor.

Low Fantasy

Phyllomedusine hylids have a certain weird clown marionette vibe to them. Just look at these Pithecopus rohdei.

[src]

Lovecraftian

The male Rhinoderma darwinii raises his tadpoles in his vocal sac.

Sci-Fi

Gephyromantis pseudoasper sometimes wear handsome stripes—very Space Age™

But more importantly, their calls evoke a battle with laser-blasters.

I filmed this calling male in 2017 at an obscene hour of the morning.

Horror

Trichobatrachus robustus, aka the Hairy Frog, has flanks and thighs covered in weird, hair-like outgrowths that increase oxygen exchange over its skin, and BREAKS ITS FINGERS TO STAB YOU WITH CLAWS MADE OF BONE

[src]

Romance

Breviceps males physically glue themselves to the back-ends of females, and if that's not romance, I don't know what is.

[src]

Comedy

Nyctimantis arapapa are probably amongst the funniest-looking frogs out there.

[src]

Adult

The 'poly' in Polypedates may be a double entendre

[src]

Crime and Mystery

Calyptocephalella gayi is a Galaxy Brain frog.

[src]

Speculative

Myobatrachus gouldii is basically what would happen if you decided to try to build a turtle, but you only had frog pieces in the kit.

[src]

Sooo I wrote a…weird little thing, a certain comic by @mayhemchicken-artblog got my creative juices percolating and under the press of staying up far too late for several days this came to fruition, enjoy!

The Eye of the Beholder

Link to the Comic

updated radical feminist library

the radical feminist library, by aggrolesbo/ladielabrys, is great. but it has a lot of repeated and illegible files, and without the proper authors so it gets difficult to search for things. I cleaned it put and then added a lot more books recommended across the internet. Plus very good releases by suny press and routledge.

i separated the trans folder from the rest of the library so you can send it to people who would otherwise be turned off.

If you have any recommendations i would be glad to add it!

spread it far and wide please

#i have been working on this since november when i should have been reading dissertations for my internship #feminist literature #books #research find download convert to pdf write author and name check if repeated find the best folder now do that 1100 times #radblr #radical feminists do interact #radical feminist safe

Literature for English

The Ripple Effect

In this poem the author captures the essence of water conservation, using symbolism and a nice message. The author emphasizes the impact of even small actions, highlighting the ripple effect they can create in promoting water conservation.

The poem starts with the imagery of a drop of water creating a ripple, symbolizing the initial change needed to inspire others. It signifies how a single action can lead to a call for action, encouraging a collective effort to conserve water.

The author promotes positive choices and calls for raising awareness. By educating and inspiring others, the poem intends to create a movement towards water conservation. It emphasizes the importance of spreading the message far and wide until it is widely heard, emphasizing the collective responsibility we all have to save water.

The poem suggests that every action, regardless of its size, can make a difference in saving water. It showcases the significance of individual efforts in achieving this goal, highlighting the collective power of small changes to create a lasting impact, the poem extends the call for water conservation beyond individual homes to the wider environment, specifically mentioning rivers. It asks us to protect water with love and pride, signifying the emotional connection and responsibility we should feel towards preserving water resources. Through its use of "love and pride," the poem taps into human emotions, encouraging a sense of ownership and care for our water sources.

Some advices could be:

Plant drought-resistant native plants: Planting native plants that are adapted to the local climate can decrease the amount of water needed to keep your gardens healthy.

Use drip irrigation: Instead of using traditional sprinklers, install a drip irrigation system to deliver water directly to the roots of your plants, reducing waste.

Avoid watering during the hottest time of the day: Watering during the hottest part of the day can increase evaporation. Instead, water your plants early in the morning or late in the evening.

I will entrench myself in literature this year no matter what the fuck it takes

#forgot how euphoric it felt to just be seen by a piece of writing #I’m excusing myself for last year bc I was having the busiest semester of my life & then traveled shortly after #so I didn’t make reading a priority #but no more. i have to consume more this year. it makes me feel so good whenever I’m down in the dumps #it’ll be hard in tandem w all the other shit I’m juggling but I’ll make it work #I’ll make it a priority for my mental health lol #just like I have to pop my vitamin pills every day I have to READ MORE to STAY SANE #teen me consumed so many books & i wanna go back to that. full on literature girl for 2024 #p

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot- #-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd) #damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid. #Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph? #I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!) #and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls! #she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty
