Dance of the Silver Threads
It was just another day at work, and everything was just as it was the day prior. For the past few days my shifts have thankfully been quite short. A nice and breezy 4 hours each. At the start of this bout of work I found it going by awfully fast, but as the days came and went my focus would wane and those 4 hours seemed to elongate beyond my comprehension. The main reason as to this was due to where I was placed. For each of these shifts, due to the short nature of them, the managerial team placed me behind the till for the entirety of each, allowing those who had been working for longer to get on with other things. Now I would have no issue with this normally, but my patience was straining ever so slightly due to how I had five days of this cycle, the longest amount of consecutive shifts I’ve been on since starting here 2 months ago.

Fighting and Battling Climate Change
Why do politicians use such words as "fight" and "battle" when it comes to overturning the ravages of the decades of neglect of the earth's biosphere? Are they speaking without thinking as many politicians seem to do or do they really think they are fighting and battling? The words fighting and battling are nonsense phrases in the context of the climate. In other words, bullshit. Mean nothing talk. Empty rhetoric.

Climate Change And The Psychology Behind The World That Doesn’t Care Enough About It.
The response to climate change is always a mixed bag. We have people who are fervently supporting any initiatives to reduce pollution and support the environment… and on the other hand of the spectrum, we do have people who believe that climate change is a hoax.

Coyotes in the Wild
My fascination with coyotes began when my ex and I would drive out to Stinson beach, to have bonfires, smoke pot, and talk about life. We would always hear coyotes during our night walks. I found their calls thrilling, terrifying, and fascinating.

What is that smell?
“What is that vile, atrocious smell?” I hollered as I rushed past my companions into the dense growth of the tomato forest. The air around me felt heavy and pungent; that awful smell enveloping every pore of my being until I felt I could barely breathe. I was suffocating and starting to feel disoriented. I started to panic, my head felt fuzzy and I stumbled. I yelled frantically to my comrades but my words came out discombobulated and seemed to buzz around my head in the heat. I tried to move but I bumped into some others crowded around an especially juicy Cherokee Purple tomato. How could they be trying to eat right now with that stifling stench? Maybe I could avoid the smell or at least discover where it was originating, so I got very close to the ground near the roots and stems that thickly populated this fruit haven. I was dismally disappointed when I could only find more of the same all-encompassing smell. How could this be? Where was the tantalizing smell of the tomatoes that usually surrounded me?

Star Emerald
Darkness fell into a gaze that very few would get the opportunity to look upon rarely, the night sky brightened with the lights of the north as a mist of greenness danced upon the rays, twirling, and canoeing like bizarre tsunami waves erupted from emerald ocean so softly as though it gave a glimpse of heaven from above. The rays stretched, spread, and sprayed so astonishingly beautiful in such spectacular brightness of lush, quite like swarming, dimensional, Teale-coloured wave tubes of the heavens. Your eyes never wanting to take your eyes of from the dark greenish skies, as though all will be well, safe in your surroundings, a stream of relaxation through the mind and without a worry in the world. The Northern lights were what dreams could be if they were ever allowed to dance so free in the skies.

Earth
The earth can be a broken circle The world is not a good place. because the earth is rotating, gravity points to the center of our planet (in terms of why the earth can be a perfect globe), and gravity extends beyond it. However, since the force of gravity acts directly on the Earth's axis, so the Earth's axis is inclined, the equator is not at odds with gravity. This imbalance adds to the equator, when gravity pushes more water and earth into the mass, or the “spare wheel” around our planet.
