day 1 and i have already failed my productivity challenge. but thats okay. it's all about the baby steps .

everyone please read this and share if you can.

Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.

i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.

and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.

three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.

this is not natural.

unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.

when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.

✨✨ Language progress really doesn’t come in big leaps, it comes in tiny tiny little steps. It’s really hard to notice that you’re making progress, but I promise you are. You do notice sometimes though, maybe how far you’ve come over a year when you revisit a text you can now totally understand it, whereas before you could just pick out words here and there. You’re doing so well and every little thing you learn is getting you closer and closer to knowing the language. Don’t give up, keep going!! ✨✨

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything

I feel like public libraries don’t get enough hype. Like, you’re telling me all I have to do is give you my name and address and promise to bring the books back and I’m allowed to take as many as i want??? And I can check them out over and over again if I need to??? And I only pay if I damage or lose the book???? If this is where my tax money is going then please keep on taxing.

do you ever pick up a book, read the first page and realise that you are about to fall in love with it, and you know that it will stick with you yet haunt you for many years ?? like no matter how hard you try it will be a piece of you now, dictating your perspectives and views ? apart of you feels so much anticipation, joy and excitement, but apart of you is like what the fuck have you done you silly sausage
