South african city water https://time.com/cape-town-south-africa-water-crisis/ https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/sabinet/ispaper/2014/00002014/00000011/art00001 Oh look people that did not go into hysteria when shit got real. What a neat story. How about we don’t find out if our neighbors can not go into hysteria when there is the literal possibility of running out of life sustaining fluid. I dunno about you, but I have a neighbor that goes around at night talking to cats and the darkness, I dunno if she’d be able to conserve enough water to count on, let’s just avoid going into this scenario.

Cultural Eautrophication: https://www.britannica.com/science/cultural-eutrophication https://www.britannica.com/science/eutrophication#ref235287 Honestly I just like this term. Even if I can’t spell it. Look at it. How strange. How exotic. What does this weird and bizarre combination of syllables mean? If we say it correctly will we sound smart? Yes. Use often, and mispronounce it if you can.

How long Can people survive without water: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/how-long-a-person-can-survive-without-water-a6873341.html Need non-newspaper reference. Just factoid. Not a writing matter. Just a condition of living in a human body. More or less we all die without water.  Anyone disagree with that?  More or less none of us want mutant kids with dangling extra bits of skin to happen, like the cat I like, right? More or less, no one wants to drink chemical crap when they get a cup of water, right?  Oh good we all agree, every one put their foot down about water. Protect, it’s our life, not some dramatic hippie bullshit. 

<3. ------ On  why I don't think protecting water should be considered political : I seen it first hand, so I feel like it stops being political when it’s real and a problem that kills people or poisons them and you know it is in existence. It should be this simple:  ‘Hey raise your hand if you need water to survive.’  “Ok then, we’re all in for clean water and not wasting it and planning stuff to take care of it without complaining. Fixing the infrastructures that wastes or handle it poorly. Systemic problem, not a people problem. There should not be or need to be any emotions, blameshifting, questioning, or anything. It should just be ‘Let’s ensure all of our people have clean water to drink. “

Which one is better? This one? Or this one? ----------- Actual motherfucking World building.  Why have an ugly or inpersonal item, ever: If you are conscious about the items you spend money on, you influence the world.  Cheap is good, and important for those of us with nothing or almost nothing, and the first thing to think about in personal survival. Personal survival is probably everyone’s first consideration.  Once nice cheap (goodwill, yardsale, traded, found by the side of the road, whatever) serviceable items are acquired--- choosing to replace them with intentional quality with an artists personal touch is better.   Each item you accrue can serve multiple purposes Can be a reminder of who you are, to you,  can support the existence of creators, or be symbols worn of your love or allegiance to them,  can be picked to last longer than the average shirt that wears out in 3 months or a year.  (Er. ...

  Random thoughts  Notifications : 17 posts from this person. Self: Nah I am not looking at 17 posts I barely know this person. Also Self: Looks anyway.  Suddenly exhausted. Why. So much energy lost right here. Maybe we should take a nap. Maybe we should take ten naps. Maybe it’s the end of today. I can’t go on. Introverts : Look at social media, post progressively less Extroverts : Look at social media, post progressively more. Introverts: jesus fucking christ though Introverts: Why do you say 17 things no one is gonna respond back anyway Extroverts: Bubbles, joy, excitement, someone talked to me! HELLO! HOW ARE YOU! Introvert: Oh god. stop. Exhausted. I’m actually sorry. I can’t. Extrovert: What did I do wrong?  Introvert’s next interaction with anyone:  i hate people. Not you specifically.. hi. How are you. Can this end. Ambivert:  My life is a fucking mess. Oh you're an introvert? HERE LET ME TALK AT YOU NONSTOP. Oh ...

Schedules and Platforms: End notes Sooo...Still more buttons to press but, in the interest of time and moving on to a different project for a while, this is our consolidated working plan: 1. Attempting to schedule 3 months out in advance for Deviantart Tumblr Pinterest Twitter Blogspot Before leaving for a while and trying to only come around every couple of days to notification return and so on. Less often: Artstation Dribble Imagur Youtube Wordpress Reddit Toyhouse With all of them, attempting to stay in niche and follow art day plan for growth with time limited to 10-15 hours a week. Will probably keep drawing daily on paper instead of online, where it takes longer with the interference of whoever draws in the things we're using to draw, well meaning or otherwise. Wrap up of Thoughts on this: Focusing on new platforms for scheduling and analytics and in the future having a niche or plan picked that we can somehow...
