14-09-2020|| Went into quarantine four days ago with my housemates after two of them tested positive for Corona. We are with nine in total, so it’s challenging but we make the best of it. Worked on my notes for Biogeochemistry today, its very interesting to look at marine biology from a maths/chemistry perspective! It’s 30 degrees Celsius today (?!), so trying to get as much sunlight as possible from my room! My 34 plants are keeping me company, they look so happy in the sun :) 

07.25.20 - I’m gearing up for starting my 1L year in just a few weeks. I am super excited and a little nervous. I have started setting up my Notion organization system and so far, I am loving it! 

Regarding the Amazon Rainforest

I barely have followers here, but here we go:

The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:

The deforestation has increased 80% since last year

The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)

The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy

Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety

The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.

We are hostages or our own government

I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.

Please don't let this go unseen. Search for yourself, talk to people about it, make noise, be angry and be scared. Let the world know about it and demand action. This is not about Brazil, is about the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important biomes in the world, being responsible for the climate, rains, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and life itself.

AHHHHHHHHH!!

‘Boy With Luv’ feat. Halsey - Teaser 1

anyone else in the sf bay area dealing with this ridiculous heat?! on top of that, the other night there was this gnarly thunderstorm like nothing i’d ever seen. i think that if it weren’t so hot (and if it didn’t happen from freakin’ 4 to 8 a.m.), i would’ve enjoyed it more. i was actually pretty freaked out lmao. weather events like that are an anomaly in california, probably akin to earthquakes happening on the east coast, so everyone makes a big to-do about it. there’s also a lot of concern since it’s the beginning of wildfire season here, and the lightning already hasn’t made it any easier. :-(

in other news, it’s been so hot that i’ve been seriously unmotivated to sit and be productive… i’ve been mostly sitting in front of the AC and eating a ton of ice cream. :x but! i have been making incremental progress teaching myself japanese for the past few weeks. it’s slow-going and my handwriting and kanji definitely need work, but i’m having a lot of fun with it so far. any other japanese beginners out there?! :D

i’ve propagated a bunch of my plants and can’t wait to put them into larger pots◡̈⃝ my twin’s started translating another manhwa and it’s so good !! it’s a really cute shoujo school-life type and it’s making me so excited and fluttery inside

hey guys just uploaded a new video! hope you all check it out! enjoy your day!

slowly falling into a productive routine and making lots of progress in contracts. i try to get even the smallest amount of work done each day, even when i feel demotivated or sad. sometimes the process isnt always pretty, aesthetic, or particularly inspired, and often it feels futile. cups of coffee and slices of apple cake i baked help. the thought that small progress is still progress helps. i know im doing much better than i did when i first started law school, and thats what matters.
