Starting off September with a little reading and a coffee. Oh, and a reusable straw. Save the turtles.

“Where were you when the earth burned?”

they will ask, and we will explain to them

about Brexit and Trump and Fake News

and billionaires and corporate taxes and big oil

and how it wasn’t just the earth burning,

but also Afghanistan and Syria and Yemen

and Kashmir and Sudan were bleeding too

and the ice caps were melting

and the coral reef was dying

and the tigers and leopards

and elephants were going extinct

and of course, so many of us were fighting

but the well of truth was poisoned

and how no one believed their eyes

or pictures or scientists anymore,

How does one fight monsters

when there are an eternity of them

to fight, we promise, we promise, we tried.

“Where were you when the earth burned?”

they will ask, and we will hold our hands out,

hold theirs and say, “we too, like you,

were hoping, praying, wishing...

and just trying to survive.”

When The Earth Burned, Nikita Gill

Shengsi, an archipelago of almost 400 islands at the mouth of China’s Yangtze river, holds a secret shrouded in time – an abandoned fishing village being reclaimed by nature. These photos by Tang Yuhong, a creative photographer based in Nanning, take us into this lost village on the beautiful archipelago.

Two types of procrastination:

1. Eh, I’ll have time later. *deliberately watches cat videos.*

2. I’d like to do it now, but there’s just something else I really have to do right now instead, I can’t remember what that thing is but I have to do it immediately, as soon as I figure out what it is, and then I can do the other thing maybe once I’ve done whatever so important that I’ve forgotten, oh look a cat, I love cats, cats are the best!
