Plastic is terrible for us 😨
Please like and Rating my content Plastic has significant negative impacts on the environment, human health, and wildlife. It takes hundreds of years to decompose, accumulating in landfills and oceans. Over time, plastic breaks down into microplastics, contaminating soil, water, and air. Millions of tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year, creating "garbage patches" and harming marine life. Animals often mistake plastic for food, leading to ingestion that can cause choking, starvation, or poisoning. Entanglement in plastic waste can injure or kill wildlife.

Catching Up on the Phone
I was sitting in my living room on a Saturday morning (a few days after the birthday party) trying to enjoy the a/c pumping the cold air. Florida is a very hot place to live. I was born here, but the older I get, the hotter it feels and even though Fig's uncle Georgio tells me that the cold weather way up north is no better on the old bones, sometimes I just go into hybernation mode. Yeah, I'd say that I hybernate from the beginning of April to the end of September. I go out a little more in October and March, and I only really enjoy the outdoors in Florida in the months of December, January, and February. That's the only winter we get. During those three months of our Florida winter, I'm the happiest. Besides that I just stay indoors and thank the lord that I have air conditioning. According to Georgio, it's the opposite up north. There they hybernate for the winter months starting in November and they don't come out of their caves until around April. Still, it seems a bit more balanced. Six months in, six months out, seems a lot better than 9 months in and 3 months out.

Hugh's Bris. Content Warning.
Forty-seven-year-old upper middle class lousy lover and excellent writer Hugh sits on a skinny white chair and grits his teeth and grins and bears it, pretending his skull beneath all that flesh and muscle and blood is just a skull. Can Death die? I am not dying, I am death, Hugh doesn't say out loud, so she can't kill me, skinny little hardened piece of brie that she is, Loretta, forty-six, not a day over thirty-six, babbling incessantly, as usual, ad nauseum, Hugh's personal mausoleum, his penance for half a life of selfishness, he tells himself. He knows he needs to be around people more, needs people, needs to be seen with them if he's to be accepted for who he is, forty-seven, lousy lover, excellent writer. So he sits on the skinny white chair and listens to the skinny pale Loretta and pretends not to notice that all mastication is delayed micturition. The Chablis at Chateaux Cher is awful, simply awful.

Fig's 33rd Birthday Party
Before I tell you all about the birthday party, I think I should start filling in the blanks about me and Fig. I'll start by telling you the basics about myself. My name is Danielle Marie Lyons. I was born on March 15th, 1983 in Bartow, Florida. I moved to Tampa in 2003 when I was 20 years old. I got married to Kenan Rosenbaum in 2005 at the age of 22. At the age of 24, in 2007 we had a son, named Seth. Kenan and I divorced in 2011, and agreed that I would keep custody of Seth so long as I didn't request child support. I didn't want to fight about money because the year before our divorce my father had passed away and left me a trust fund to live off for the rest of my life. I guess my father knew that my little waitressing jobs were not going to be enough to raise my son with. I don't get much every month, but at least I have a stable income.

From Human to Beast: The Descent Fueled by Greed and Power
In the pursuit of power, wealth, and dominance, humanity often teeters on the edge of losing its essence, transforming into something primal, something animalistic. While humans are distinguished by their ability to reason, empathize, and build societies based on cooperation, history is filled with moments where these traits are eclipsed by greed, violence, and the ruthless hunger for control. What happens when humans, endowed with the capacity for empathy, become consumed by their darker instincts?
