i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
If these heatwaves teach us anything, it’s that we need to make our cities greener. Plant more trees. Build more parks. Protect the forests we already have. We need more green spaces.
Florida tried to create "Alligator Alcatraz."
The Miccosukee Tribe stood up and sued. As a result, Alligator Alcatraz was officially shut down today.
We need to thank the Miccosukee Nation for their courage and attention to this fight; this victory wouldn't have happened without their commitment to protecting our environment.
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
Marlon Wayans remembers Darren Aronofsky telling him not to have sex during "Requiem for a Dream" filming:
“Darren is crazy. He asked, ‘What are the three things you love most?’ I said, ‘I love chocolate, sex and drinking.’ He said, ‘Great. So then here’s what I want you to do: I don’t want you to have sex or masturbate, I don’t want you to eat sugar and you cannot drink.’ It was for the three weeks before filming that he called ‘three weeks of wrath,’ and he said, ‘I want you to do without so you know what it feels like when you’re fiending for something, because you guys are junkies.’ And I said, ‘Bet.’”

Acts of service men are dangerously attractive.
Fixing problems, making sure you’ve eaten, charging your phone, carrying your things… that’s romance to me.
"We must, then, avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."
