दूरी / Distance – Kaushal Kishore

 

मत जाओ इतनी दूर मुझसे 

कि मुझे आवाज देकर बुलाना पड़े…

मैं नहीं चाहता कोई तीसरा 

जाने हमारे प्यार की दूरी के बारे में…

🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️

Don’t stray so far away, 

don’t make me shout…

Let’s keep this gap a secret, 

let’s not let it out…

The Top 10 Most Polluted Beaches 🌊

“The community of Imperial Beach is bearing the brunt of this environmental disaster,” she wrote in a recent letter to the White House. “Pollution in the Tijuana River remains the most urgent environmental justice issue in San Diego County…. An entire generation of children is growing up in South San Diego County, having only experienced polluted beaches.”

Research from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, with funding from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), attributes 34,000 illnesses in calendar year 2017 to water quality pollution along the Imperial Beach coastline.

And this beach in San Diego is not alone.

For example, Park View Kayak Launch in Miami, Florida, Ballard Park in Melbourne, Florida, and Playa Crashboat in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, are all popular spots for families to enjoy a fun day at the beach or in the water, but they are also all affected by old, failing sewage infrastructure.

Three of the top 10 most polluted locations mentioned in the report are located in California. At Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica, more than half the samples had unsafe bacteria levels, as well as the mouth of the San Luis Obispo Creek in San Luis Obispo, where 35 percent of the samples had unsafe levels.

Step-by-Step Guide to Propagating Sage from Cuttings – Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.

  1. Get Sage Cuttings: Obtain healthy sage cuttings that are 4-6″ long. You can take these cuttings any time during the growing season.
  2. Prepare the Cuttings:
    • Remove leaves from the bottom of the sage stem leaving a few leaves at the top (with less leaves, the cutting will have more energy for root development). Roots will develop where the leaves have been taken off.
    • Dip the cut end, and bottom areas where leaves have been taken off, in rooting hormone powder (optional but increases chances for root development and helps speed up the process).
  3. Plant in Soil or Water:
    • For soil propagation:
      • Plant the cutting in well-draining soil.
      • Water thoroughly and keep watered through the rooting process.
    • For water propagation:
      • Submerge the stem (not the leaves) in a glass of water, changing the water if it gets dirty.
  4. Wait for Roots: Be patient! It takes time for roots to grow. Expect roots to develop in 3-4 weeks or more. As long as the cutting is still healthy, just keep it in the soil or water until roots develop.
  5. Pot Up or Transplant: Once roots are established, pot up your new sage plant or transplant it to the garden.

Enjoy your homegrown sage!

Controle sobre o feminino – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Julgamentos moralizantes e culpalizador, cooperam para ajudar atribuir importância a falas que vão de encontro ao direito da mulher. Eu diria que, sobretudo o direito de decidir. Falas que expressam brutalidade, inclusive, defendida por muitos, usando a religião para exteriorizar com certa sutileza tudo o que pode silenciado no feminino – são práticas muito comuns que mostra não só  resquicios da lógica patriarcal, como a intenção de grandes líderes da fé em estigmatizar fortemente essas mulheres, onde parte delas, são classificadas como, más, mentirosas entre outras justificativas ardilosas para não legitimar o direito da mulher em poder decidir sobre seu próprio corpo.

Selma’s Review of “Lunar Gazing Haiku” | Dawn Pisturino’s Blog

Selma’s Review of “Lunar Gazing Haiku”

 ON JUNE 19, 2024

I want to thank poet Selma Martin for reading and reviewing my new digital chapbook, Lunar Gazing Haiku on Amazon and Goodreads. Selma is a lovely woman who goes out of her way to support other authors. It’s critically important that small press and self-published authors support each other in this competitive industry. I’ve found that a lot of authors expect people to buy their books, give them positive reviews, and spread the word without ever returning the favor to other authors. The very purpose of a writing community is to mutually support one another. Nobody can afford to buy everybody’s book, including me. But if you read someone’s book, please do your part and write a review. Thank you.
