#Weather vs #Climate vs #Habit vs #Inertia. Might as well go full Monty in the unpopular #Viewpoints Dept : Very much chafing at Super Duper Mega #ElNino : This goes beyond semantics. #ELNino is a a pattern fundamentally linked to seasonality.If seasonality is itself breaking down is it accurate to keep referring to an old pattern that has now fundamentally changed…and will likely not return to what was previously familiar, as if everything is going to be okay as just an extremal excursion .

One of the tricks to #writing #poetry with #confidence when stuck (or as a #habit) is to write out before every poem, in some way or another, THIS IS NOT A #POEM, which frees you up to write one by dissolving the pressure to write a poem. This is NOT REAL LIFE, either. Oh fuck, it is real life. Hold my hand, and also my #albatross, matey, fellow #reader. I have some non-rhyming to do! https://rant.li/atmercurialatrant-li/jobs-i-dont-mind

🦷🍭 While #sugar is often blamed for cavities, it's actually the lactic acid produced by #bacteria as they digest #carbohydrates that weakens enamel.
Human saliva typically neutralizes these #acids within 30 mins. but frequent snacking can keep mouth pH levels low enough to cause permanent damage. Experts recommend waiting at least 20 mins. after eating before brushing to allow enamel to re-harden.

A quotation from Wendell Berry
If I solve my dispute with my neighbor by killing him, I have certainly solved the immediate dispute. If my neighbor was a scoundrel, then the world is no doubt better for his absence. But in killing my neighbor, though he may have been a terrible man who did not deserve to live, I have made myself a killer — and the life of my next neighbor is in greater peril than the life of the last.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Speech (1968-02-10), “A Statement Against the War in Vietnam,” Kentucky Conference on the War and the Draft, University of KentuckyMore info about this quote: wist.info/berry-wendell/80015/
