The opening of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, 1957. The bridge was one of the large engineering projects that allowed Mao Zedong to claim that the country was modernizing. Much of the bridge’s design was done in concert with Soviet engineers.

Neophocaena asiaeorientalis better known as the jiangtun or the Yangtze finless porpoise is a species of of toothed whale in the porpoise family Phocoenidae, is endemic to the Yangtze River in China. They are one of the world’s only freshwater porpoises and tend to be found in shallow bay areas, swamps, lakes, and estuaries where the feed upon various species of fish and crustaceans. Like most cetaceans they are a highly social species which lives in pods as little as 3 to as many as 20 individuals. Rather than vocalizing via chirps and whistles, as most dolphin species do, these porpoises use echolocation and ultrasonic pulses to communicate with one another. They are also know to sleep in shift like cycles, with active porpoises occasionally supporting there lethargic compatriots with there backs. Tho this is particularly common with parents and there offspring. Reaching some 5 to 7.5ft (1.5 to 2.3m) in length and 100 to 160lbs (45 to 72kg) in weight, with males being larger than females, the Yangtze finless porpoise is one of the smaller cetaceans. They sport large curved flippers with pointed tips, a stocky grey to black body that slims towards the tail, and a unique very steep head lacking a beak. Instead of a dorsal fin, these porpoises have a dorsal ridge or "groove" that is covered in varying rows of tubercles. Breeding occurs in late spring and early summer, and after a ten to 11 month pregnancy a mother Yangtze finless porpoise will give birth to a single offspring called a calf. Under ideal conditions a Yangtze finless porpoise may live upwards of 30 years. The Yangtze finless porpoise is considered critically endangered and it is estimated that only about 1,000 remain.

Desperation Time: How the Media is Getting the Last “Drought” News from a Place that’s about to Flood

Aug. 25, 2022 - BBC

This article is not particularly important. What is important is what’s about to happen in this “drought plagued” region. From the article:

Residents in China's southwestern provinces are taking creative measures to deal with a record heat wave that has seen temperatures exceed 40C(104F)...

The prolonged heatwave has exacerbated a severe drought in China...

(Heat does not mean drought by the way. It’s very hot in the rain forest, for example.)

According to Wikipedia, summers in the region are hot and humid. The heat is not unusual, although the article plays it up as extraordinary. While there has been a little time without much rain, nature has a way of correcting itself, and there already has been orgonite gifting in China. From Wikipedia:

Typical of the Sichuan Basin, Dazhou has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa) and is largely mild and humid, with four distinct seasons. Winter is short, mild, and foggy, though actual precipitation is low. January averages 6.1 °C (43.0 °F) and, while frost may occur, snow is rare. Summers are long, hot and humid, with highs often exceeding 33 °C (91 °F). The monthly daily average in July, the warmest month, is 27.4 °C (81.3 °F). Rainfall is light in winter and can be heavy in summer, and over 70% of the annual total occurs from May to September. The annual frost-free period lasts around 300 days.

Finally, here is the weather forecast for Dazhou, Sichuan, China. The media is capitalizing on a few hot days before the heat breaks dramatically and heavy rain falls. This is a very typical pattern for the news these days, as the climate is being restored faster now as orgonite gifting reaches critical mass.

My prediction for next week’s headlines: First Drought, then Floods, What’s Going on with China’s Crazy Weather? Climate Change is the Culprit, says a Meteorologist.

End of 200 million years

The Chinese paddlefish was the world's largest freshwater fish, a species that has survived since the age of dinosaurs. However, no surviving individuals have been found since 2003, and it was declared extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2022.

The main reason for the extinction of the Chinese paddlefish is the impact of dam construction. The construction of huge dams in the Yangtze and Yellow River basins in China, which used to be their habitat, have created no upstream passage for the fish, and they can no longer go upstream to their spawning grounds. It is believed that the population of the Chinese paddlefish has continued to decline because they can no longer spawn safely.

Selfish development that only considers humans has destroyed a species that has existed for more than 200 million years. This is an irreparable loss to the Earth's life lineage.

Yellow

Hello #yellow :-)

Yellow, one of the primary colors, has a rich and fascinating history that spans many centuries and cultures. The word “yellow” is believed to have originated from the Old English word “geolu” which meant “bright” or “shining”. In ancient times, the color yellow was often associated with the sun, warmth, and brightness, and was used in art, literature, and religion to convey these concepts. In…

sometimes i feel grateful that popular culture hasn't picked up the Yangtze river as something to make stories about. the devaluation of the nile as a cultural and economic power says a lot about how cultural colonialism (wrong term but eh) damages societies that are othered by popular culture, the west especially
