Excellent reporting from Hiroko Tabuchi on the widespread presence of PFAS in sewage sludge spread as fertilizer on a fifth of American farm fields www.nytimes.com/2024/12/27/c...
EPA Promotes Fertilizer Carrying PFAS, Long After 3M Shared Risks
The agency obtained research from 3M in 2003 revealing that sewage sludge, the raw material for the fertilizer, carried toxic “forever chemicals.”

I mean, this should go without saying.
Alas, it needs to be said.

Last I looked plastic outweighed plankton in the oceans by about 17:1, according to this ↓ livestock outweighs wildlife by 13:1.

This can't go on.

Let's stop prioritizing the subsidized destruction of the West and start prioritizing wildlife safe public lands.

OK. The bones are in for the next feature script. 10 hours and 37 minutes yielded 5 pages of structure/page milestone blab. Now, onward to stub scenes. Not today, of course. Hell no. Gotta let this thing marinate for a few days. See if any sneaky big picture ideas jump at me in the night. [pounce]

Picking apart the bones of story structure. Oh, what fun it is to drill into your own skull and shine a light on all the creepy crawlies lurking around in there. C’mon, you multi-legged conflict monster… GOTCHA. [Wriggle Wriggle Hiss Snap] Let’s dance, beasties!

Finished the “diarrhea” outline of my next feature film script. There. Now I can go cook so there will be dinner. I don’t believe in the starving artist lifestyle. More like home cooking artist. Also keeps me from committing terrible violence to fellow humans. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Split end hunting: a meditative practice of long haired people that involves thoughtfully considering individual stands of hair for damage and pruning only that damage. If hair represents history, the practice is akin to recapitulating the past and mending only what is misremembered or not needed.

Always prune your hydroponics by nibbling. Boy are they delicious. Not sure how they feel about me stealing their leaves. There’s a lot of “sorry kids” and “oh yum” on my end though. I suppose I’m the rain, sun and pest all in one 🧐
