Anon who asked a summary of Måneskin's recent interviews, under the cut there are a few :)

Che Tempo che Fa

It starts with compliments to the beauty and power of The Loneliest. Fabio Fazio is a big fan and comments that it is the first ballad in English, then they joke that it's the first time they have had sofas in their studio. Dami says hi to his mom and says something like, "Hey mum watch me!"

They start by talking about the fact that Måneskin are always around the world and that it must be difficult to realize what's going on. Dami says they actually have little time to realize what is happening but that they also manage to enjoy the moment, especially on big stages, like Rio and Coachella.

Fabio says Ethan has a philosophy, don't take things too seriously, Ethan confirms. Then they retrace the early days of the group's formation, how Thomas and Vic met in middle school, etc. and they also make a recap of all the nominations for future awards.

Speaking of The Loneliest Damiano clarifies, once again, that when he said that he risked dying while shooting the video he was joking, even if at the moment he'd been really afraid; then there is a dig at the headlines that are always too melodramatic.

After, Vic says that the reason for their success is mainly in their authenticity (she is almost voiceless, so she says she shouted too much on her sister's birthday the day before), Ethan adds that the music is cyclical and that's another reason why rock is coming back.

Fabio asks what they do in the evening when they are abroad. Damiano says Vic and Tom often party and Tom says they go around clubs and get to know the cities.

Later they also talk about the fact that they have had many experiences that have made them grow professionally but that they are still in their twenties. Speaking of the cliche 'sex drugs and rock and roll' Damiano jokes that he's always naked because it is hot on stage and that he's not the only one of the 4 to undress, but in the rest of the time he's just a normal guy (they show photos of him with Chili). He adds that the cliché about drugs is outdated and that out of respect for themselves and the public they have to put themselves in a position to always give 100%.

They also talk about how they chased after Shakira to take pictures with her, or that at the Cannes Film Festival, in a super chic evening Thomas took off his shirt and started dancing, so the security wanted to kick him out. Vic says that when they meet famous people they pretend to be calm, then as soon as they're alone they go wild and can't believe it really happened.

Fabio says that Måneskin are transgressive in a serious way, in the sense that they always say what they think and that they are not afraid to take sides, as in the case of the speech against Putin.

Always talking about the VIPs they met, Thomas says the craziest encounter for him was with Slash, Damiano says Keith Richards, for Vic it was Iggy Pop and Ethan tells about Dakota Johnson cooking eggs for them.

Then they remember all the tour dates and announce those in the stadiums in Rome and Milan. At the end there is a little joke with Luciana Littizzetto who is a comedian, Fabio asks the band to pretend to remember who Luciana is, but she's actually very famous in Italy (there is a person in the audience with a strange laugh, Damiano bursts out laughing and can't stop). When Luciana enters she jokes with Fabio and tells him to tattoo the line with which he usually launches the advst on his chest, instead of "Il Ballo della Vita". Vic instead asks him to take off his shirt.

RADIO 101

They start off by talking about the tour dates and how long they've been home over the last year. Vic says about one month in total. They are asked if they are anxious before an important concert, Dami Vic and Ethan make fun of Thomas who is the one who is sometimes nervous, like before Rock in Rio and Circo Massimo. Thomas says it depends on the situation, for example the first time they played The Loneliest in London it was very important to them so he was much more nervous.

Damiano says that of all the VIP meetings the most important was the one with Keith Richards who told them “I don't know who the fuck you are but they told me that you are good and that you actually play guitar, keep it up”.

They say they are always in such a hurry that since this summer they hardly even do the sound check before a concert, but still have no free time.

Speaking of the hardest audience to conquer, Thomas says it was very important to be able to conquer an audience made of rock fans, like at Rock 'em Ring or at the Stones concert. Vic jokes that sometimes when they ask the audience to crouch and then jump there are metalheads who just look at them in disgust and stand still with their arms crossed. Damiano also jokes about those people, because maybe to stay in the front row at Rock in Rio they have been there for three days, so he says in Roman 'pijatela bene', that means let yourself go, have fun. Then they add that conquering the smaller stages at festivals is really difficult.

Vic says that it's her fault if there's always pizza in the dressing rooms, because it's she who wants it and that they eat a little before the concerts and again after, while Damiano has a closed stomach and he doesn't eat, either before or after.

They ask him how they define success. They joke that the real success is to have a Lamborghini then more seriously that the most shocking thing is to have the crowd abroad singing songs in Italian, like in Chile, or to be recognized every three steps at Copa Cabana. Damiano says he felt like the Brazilian national team.

Thanks to Måneskin, many young people start playing an instrument while until a few years before they wanted to be DJs. Vic says that she started playing because she saw a Danish movie as a child and that therefore certain things can affect a whole life. Thomas says he really appreciates it when fans tell him they started playing guitar seeing him and remembers that when he started he was the 'weird' guy because playing an instrument was not common.

A parody with the music of Zitti e Buoni starts and instead of the original lyrics there are all the things the band has done in the last few months. They ask Måneskin when they realized they were really going to break through. Ethan says that it was when they saw Beggin climb to the top of all the charts. Also, Damiano says it was when they went to Jimmy Fallon for the second time.

They ask what they would do in an alternate universe if they weren't musicians. Damiano laughs, says he would be doing high school for the sixth time.

Talking about other musicians, Vic says they've wanted to see the Artic Monkeys for five years and they never manage.

They got asked if they have ever thought of switching roles. Ethan says it already happened when they did a cover of Seven Nations Army. Ethan played bass, Vic the guitar and Tom the drums. Damiano sang because he can't play anything and Thomas says they can't sing. Then they laugh because it was a disaster.

Someone else's songs they like to the point they'd have liked to be thier own are: Baby I'm Gonna Leave you for Tom, Ethan says Can't Stop by RHCP, Dami Dream On by Aerosmith and Vic's answer I cannot hear properly, sorry ^^'

Since Måneskin have won everything (and maybe they will sign up for Miss Italia), the radio awards them useless prizes. The band itself has to vote: the award for the stingiest goes to Tom. Everyone wants the prize for being the one who showers the most, but Vic says the other three always make fun of her saying she is the one who washes the least, but that's not true, and they enjoy embarrasing her with people just met (Dami and Tom high five behind her back). The prize for the one who wakes up later is a good match between Tom and Vic. The one who eats the most is still Thomas. The one who looks at the phone the most is Damiano. The one who always loses everything is Damiano again. The most messy is Thomas, but Dami says Vic's room is a safari. The one who gets the most bras on stage is Ethan. Strange things arrived on stage are mostly underwear and fetish stuff. Their best memory, for Dami is Sanremo: he still cannot explain how it was even possible.

RAI Radio 1

Thomas says that there is an alchemy between them and that their success has been a natural process even if it always takes a lot of effort and discipline, also because they are always in the spotlight and everything they do gets judged.

Damiano, however, comments that even knowing absolutely nothing about an artist contributes to idolizing people too much and it is not a healthy thing because in the end everyone is human and everyone has flaws.

The interviewer reminds them that a few days earlier Manuel Agnelli was there: he said that the great merit of Måneskin is that they manage the success they are getting, and above all that Måneskin have brought the attention of the public and record companies back to rock music played live, with real instruments, especially among young people. The band says it's a big responsibility but also a very nice thing.

Still citing Manuel Agnelli, who spoke of the "dictatorship of numbers", the guys say that they don't pay much attention to numbers, they don't really read the statistics and they don't even know how many gold records they have won. Thomas says fixating on numbers drives people crazy. Damiano adds that it's a fake feedback, that numbers matter, but they aren't the only important thing.

Speaking of seeing other people's concerts, Vic says they do it out of passion, because music is not just a job but a passion as well. Tom adds that their inspiration also comes from everyday life and normal things.

They ask a question each, they start with Ethan talking about the role of the drummer, who is often the wise man of the group because he has to dictate the timing. Ethan says that's the way it is and that since he started playing with others he has had to become more empathetic and understand how others interpreted time and music, because there has to be a dialogue between them, especially with the bass.

They ask Damiano how he manages his role as frontman, if he manages to calibrate what little narcissism it takes to be on the front line. Damiano says he never really asked himself this question. That since he's the one who can move without instruments it has always come naturally to him to accentuate the music with the movements of the body. They also ask him why he has clearly exposed himself against Putin when many artists prefer to remain silent. Damiano says that he's not only a singer but also a person free to express an opinion and that there are arguments that leave little room for interpretation, such as war.

With Vic they talk about the tradition of women playing bass, because there are many of them and therefore they ask how her passion for the instrument was born. Vic says she startedat school with classical guitar but she wasn't happy with it, so she started experimenting. The transition to bass came naturally the first time she played with an amp.

With Thomas they talk about the guitar in The Loneliest which recalls that of Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machines. Thomas says that he usually writes music instinctively, so while working on The Loneliest he used the pedal (that Morello is the pioneer of) and the music came out on its own, without voluntarily mentioning anyone.

Finally, quoting Vasco Rossi they speak of the feeling of loneliness that a musician can feel immediately after a concert. Vic says they don't have the time lately, but that when they were less famous it was often the case that they felt lost after a concert, not knowing what to do next.

A magical forest teeming with wildlife and magical beings, a pristine lake, drama and intrigue, and a bustling small town main street, what else could you need to bring these characters to life in a magical town?

James P. Sullivan (Sully, Monster’s Inc.) - Not every big scary guy wants to be scary, you know. Maybe he’s actually a nice person. Have you ever considered that the monster under your bed has feelings, too?

Mulan Fa (Mulan, Mulan) - As a Dragon, you know you’ve got a lot to prove, but Fa Mulan is up to the challenge! You’ve come to Swynlake to make your parents proud of you, though you’re still working out the specifics on how. No matter! Dragons never back down from an adventure and you’re not about to start now.

Roland Doyle (Rolly, 101 Dalmatians) - Lucky owes you an apology…for something you did! Yeah! That’s right, that’s totally how that works. Whatever! It’s Lucky’s fault, ultimately, that the band split up and the family secret was revealed. Nevermind what you did to provoke it…so where’s your apology, eh? You’re in town to get it!

Meilin Lee (Mei, Turning Red) - Despite what your mom thinks, you know your panda isn’t a problem! It’s just a big fluffy side of you — something you totally have under control … who has time to worry about red panda transformations when you have tickets to buy and exams to study for? If only your mom trusted you!

Raine Whispers (Raine, The Owl House) - Violin strings, faded sheet music, the sound of applause in a concert hall… for so long you’ve played the perfect part, performing the role that everyone expected of you. But behind the curtain, you’re planning something – something big, something that will change the world for the better!

Antonio Madrigal (Antonio, Encanto) - It’s not that you don’t like people! No, no, it’s only that you flip between between being too shy and being much, much too invested. Kind of hard to live up to the family if expectation of helping your community when you don’t always feel like you fit in your community…but at least you have your animal friends! Are they how you’ll find your helping hand niche?

No, niente Wozniak o Steve Jobs, qui si parla dei VERI inventori del Personal Computer, qui si parla di una storia Italiana che cambiò il mondo.

Ivrea 1962, Il genio visionario Adriano OLIVETTI è già morto e la successione dell'azienda è affidata a suo figlio Roberto.

C'è però un ingegnere di nome Pier Giorgio Perotto, che ha un’idea geniale, degna del grande Adriano: costruire una macchina per elaborare dati che offra autonomia funzionale e che quindi abbia dimensioni ridotte per stare in ogni ufficio, programmabile, dotata di memoria, flessibile e semplice da usare.

Perotto crea un team di giovani Ingegneri: Giovanni De Sandre, Gastone Garziera, Giancarlo Toppiche, che lavora su questo progetto "IMPOSSIBILE" per l'epoca, considerando che sino ad allora i Computer erano grandi come stanze ed utilizzabili solo da esperti programmatori.

Dopo un anno dal lancio del progetto, il TEAM riesce a sviluppare un primo rudimentale prototipo rinominato "Perottina" ma purtroppo Olivetti, sprofonda in una crisi finanziaria profondissima, entrano nuovi soci e non capendo le potenzialità enormi che aveva il reparto Elettronico dell'azienda lo svendono all'americana General Electric con tutti i brevetti, al motto:

"Nessuna azienda Europea può entrare nel mercato dell'elettronica, non fa per noi, non siamo in grando, per quello ci sono gli americani"

Perotto però riesce a sottrarsi e sottrarre il suo TEAM al trasferimento, e prosegue, dimenticato dal resto dell'azienda che oramai si occupava d'altro, nel suo progetto visionario facendo progettare il Design della Macchina a Mario Bellini (designer famoso dell'epoca)

1965 New York. Il prototipo definitivo della Programma 101 è finalmente pronto ed in occasione del BEMA (salone delle macchine per l’automazione dell’ufficio), la fiera piu' importante dell'epoca, viene presentata al grande pubblico.

Il PRIMO PC ebbe un successo pazzesco, stavolta a giudicarlo non erano capi d'azienda (che poco capivano di elettronica) ma persone comuni, tutti si chiedevano dove fosse il cavo che collegasse quella bellissima macchina ad un "vero computer", nessuno poteva credere che era quello il computer stesso.

Il costo passò da 100000 dollari dell'epoca di un computer tradizionale a poco più di 3200 dollari, tutti ne volevano uno, anche la NASA ne acquistò diversi esemplari.

Purtroppo però In Olivetti, a parte il gruppetto di Perotto, non ci sono più i tecnici e ingegneri elettronici indispensabili sia per progettare ulteriori sviluppi del prodotto, sia per organizzare una rete commerciale in grado di vendere un prodotto ben diverso dalle macchine per scrivere o da calcolo.

L’Olivetti cerca di richiamare tecnici e ingegneri che sono finiti alla OGE (General Electric), dove lavorano per gli americani; ma i tempi non sono brevi, mentre l’industria americana, colta l’importanza delle novità introdotte dalla P101, non perde tempo per imboccare la stessa strada.

Il resto è storia.

How & Why Celibacy Works

Ussy Costs Funds, Ick is Free

Level Up Lecture: Xesual Economics 101

Disclaimer: I am an adult cisgender woman targeting a teen audience. I encourage all teens to share and/or include their parents in the conversation of our posts for the sake of transparency on my adult end. Thank you for your engagement.

The Walmarts keep the Targets in business. The Family Dollars / Dollar Generals fill in the gaps where the Walmarts fall flat

Target: Celibate

Walmart: Xesually Active Singles

Family Dollar / DG: Xes Workers or Misc.

I’m not saying if you’re a xesually active single, you’re cheap as a person. I am highlighting how celibacy is the premium product that’s preferred by customers in the market.

There are people who would drive to another Target if their local one is out of something versus heading to the Walmart or Family Dollar within their location.

POV: You’re selling ussy (p or b in front ;)

Everybody sells ussy even if they are poor businessmen. I’m gonna teach you how to market and leverage your coochie correctly.

Men (masculines) marry for the main incentive: in-house ussy.

Pick Up This Gem: This is why you do not move in with them until you’ve at least received an engagement ring.

You are aware of the fact that all masculines want access to your ussy…eventually. Now that you know this, you are going to dangle it over their heads until they give you the things (or lifestyle) you want.

Marriage

Gifts

Business or personal investments, etc.

Choose which ussy you have:

Target Ussy - higher prices, Starbucks, target customer is not on a tight budget seeking steals, strong brand loyalty (driving to another Target versus visiting competitors)

Walmart Ussy - mid range prices, hit or miss with consumers and their affordability thus the wide range of products

Family Dollar / DG -lowest prices, accessible for low income buyers (girls with cheap bfs or baby daddy’s, not SWers) accessible for buyers seeking instant gratification which is affordability.

Answer Now!: Who is your target customer?

MY TARGET CUSTOMER

Disposable income

Regular shopper

Money management, but generous spending

Most likely you listed something that aligns with Target’s target audience, right? It’s ok if you feel like it’s a Target / Walmart (hit or miss remember?).

This is how the Walmarts (xesually active singles) keep the Targets (abstinence and celibates) in business; Target has a competitor to leverage their premium product against.

If you don’t like it, go to our competitors (Walmart / DG). Why?

Because the fact that you can’t afford / don’t prefer Target (no xes until marriage) is the reason why our regular customers shop here, and many of them spend a lot each Target trip.

Customers= Masculines

There are plenty of high spending, high quality, high earning people who shop exclusively at Walmart or rotate stores for the best prices. This is how Walmart balances the market, allowing Target to market as the premium place to shop.

If you chose NO:

Quick Breakdown

This is the best time to remain abstinent or practice celibacy because the market is saturated with free / easy access opportunities for xes. It’s a marketing strategy to reserve your body for exclusive access, especially if you’ve never had xes b4.

Exclusive access has the leverage to insist on getting what they want before entry is allowed.

This leverage is lacked or lessened when you allow xesual access prior to securing your goal(s) at hand-marriage, gifts, investment, etc.

You’re not reserved, which means access to you is not exclusive even if you are rarely used. This is where the leverage of abstinence and celibacy comes in.

Bluntly: the (high quality) masculines who can offer the most fun and funds usually prefer exclusive access. Most people prefer exclusivity to feel special. Dare to tell me I’m wrong

This leverage allows you to make a luxury sale, similar to fashion houses or upscale lounges.

POV: You are a nightclub

You require patrons to book a table and a bottle of champagne before being allowed into the club.

Your “table” and “champagne” is equivalent to requiring a masculine to marry you before gaining entry into your body.

If they don’t like it, point the person to the BYOB or the club that’s more of their style.

Exclusive Access = The premium, preferred product by a higher class/ quality / spending group of consumers.

Now, I hope that made sense.

TIP 2 TEEN SELF: Learn about proper hypergamy early on. Not the SB/ SW stuff even amongst hypergamy content. Take the time out to learn how to date up and build yourself into becoming the woman who thrives in high quality environments instead of shying away or fumbling.

Homework: Listen to this Science of Birds podcast. Take notes on how the “choosy” female bird chooses which male to make babies with

BuyMeACoffee, but I prefer wine ;)

Hazbin Group Chat Fic, pt 3

(Part 1) (Part 2)

CharChar: You guys, you guys! I just thought of an a-maz-ing~ idea for an activity that we can all do!

PurpleFemale: Sure, babe. Lay it on us.

CharChar: We should have a talent show!

PurpleFemale: Ummm.

SssirP: Charlie, not to rain on your parade, of course, but that sounds like it might end the same way show and tell did….

SeXXXySpider: Not my fault that my talents tend to run in a certain direction, baby.

WhiskeyWhiskers: I do seem to recall you saying that wasn’t the only thing you’re good at.

SeXXXySpider: Yeah, but I doubt dollface wants me offing a guy on stage any more than she wants me getting one off.

Alastor: Oh, good, entirely as expected, Charlie’s idea is quickly going down the drain.

CharChar: This. Is. Fine.

PurpleFemale: Tired of saying that yet?

CharChar: Nope!

CharChar: But seriously, wouldn’t it be fun? We can all show off something that we can do that’s, like, a special talent that we don’t normally get to display!

SssirP: I suppose that could be interesting.

PurpleFemale: No inventing death machines for your talent, Pentious.

SssirP: I wasn’t going to!

SssirP: … possibly

Alastor: Oh-ho, special talents, eh? This could be interesting, I suppose.

NaNaNaNiff: Bossss, Miss Charlie said no killing people on stage.

Alastor: My dear Niffty, I would never! Blood would be impossible to get out of the carpets, and that’s not the image we want people who come to the hotel to have.

CharChar: And also because killing people is a bad thing to do!

CharChar: … It’s been way too many seconds and no one has agreed with me.

CharChar: This is “getting redeemed” 101, you guys.

SssirP: Sorry, Princess.

SeXXXySpider: I recall someone just saying they’d help kill Val, soooooo

CharChar: He’d regenerate.

WhiskeyWhiskers: Savage. I kind of like it.

PurpleFemale: Ugh. Anyway. Talent show. Yes? No? Maybe?

SeXXXySpider: Why not? I’m in.

SssirP: Me too! It actually sounds fun.

NaNaNaNiff: Hehe, what’s everyone’s talent going to be~~~

CharChar: My first thought was to sing. But I guess you guys do hear me sing all the time.

SeXXXySpider: You’re like a real-life fairytale princess, doll.

NaNaNiff: Do re me fa so la ti do!

Alastor: Your singing is quite fine, but surely there’s something else that you can do?

CharChar: Hmm. Oh! So this is going to sound kind of silly, but I can juggle.

WhiskeyWhiskers: Wait, what?

CharChar: Yeah! I mean, not a ton of things, like having 20 things flying through the air. But I can juggle a reasonable amount of things.

SeXXXySpider: Both shocked and not shocked? At the same time?

PurpleFemale: Wait. I didn’t know that?

CharChar: It’s been a long time. I’d have to practice before we did an actual talent show. I wouldn’t want to mess up in front of you guys!

SssirP: What will you plan to be juggling?

CharChar: I’ll have to think about it. Maybe nothing breakable, just in case.

SeXXXySpider: That’s half the fun!

SeXXXySpider: LOL, juggle the bar glasses!

WhiskeyWhisker: Not a chance.

CharChar: I’ll pick something. What about everyone else? Vaggie! What are you going to do?

PurpleFemale: I can’t really think of any talents I especially have.

SssirP: There must be something you’re good at

PurpleFemale: Um. I can do some gymnastics things? I had to learn how to maneuver around when I was in training. So I could show off some of those tricks, maybe?

SeXXXySpider: Actually, that would be kinda cool

SeXXXySpider: ┬──┬ ¯\_¯\_ (ツ)

SeXXXySpider: Vault the table, V

PurpleFemale: Again with the things….

PurpleFemale: But, I mean, I can.

NaNaNaNiff: Vaggie hanging from the chandelier!

PurpleFemale: I don’t trust that chandelier not to fall if I’m hanging from it, honestly.

Alastor: Offended.

WhiskeyWhiskers: I guess I can step in and volunteer to show you guys some card tricks that I know.

NaNaNaNiff: Oooh! I like Husk’s card tricks! He’s really really good!

WhiskeyWhiskers: Thanks, Niff

SeXXXySpider: Wait, like… is this your card kind of stuff? Is the kitty psychic?

SeXXXySpider: Quick, what am I thinking?

WhiskeyWhiskers: I’m getting nothing but static from between your ears, brat.

SeXXXySpider: *Gasp!*

NaNaNaNiff: Not just that! Husk can do all kinds of tricks with shuffling cards and making certain cards come up!

SssirP: Really???

WhiskeyWhiskers: Yeah.

CharChar: That sounds amazing, Husk! I can’t wait to see.

SeXXXySpider: For my part

SeXXXySpider: Iiiii am happy to show off some dance moves.

PurpleFemale: No.

SeXXXySpider: Wow, rude. First of all, yes, I know how to dance with my clothes still on. And pole dancing is a lot harder than you’d think!

SeXXXySpider: It requires a lot of strength and balance and coordination, you know. One missed grip and I could go splat on the stage.

SeXXXySpider: Both embarrassing and potentially painful!

SeXXXySpider: But if you’re good at it, it can be really cool.

SssirP: I really don’t want to see Angel naked.

PurpleFemale: The first piece of clothing that comes off, I’m yanking you off that stage.

SeXXXySpider: Eh, I’m used to being grabbed at while I’m on stage.

PurpleFemale: … Still not okay, Angel.

SeXXXySpider: ¯\_¯\_(ツ)_/¯_/¯

CharChar: I think we should let Angel do it. I believe in him!

Alastor: You certainly continue to be an optimist, don’t you, dear?

CharChar: Well, what are you going to do, Alastor?

Alastor: I think I shall excuse myself from this little display of yours.

PurpleFemale: Everyone has to participate.

Alastor: Mmmmm, no.

SssirP: I wonder, can showing something off that I made be a talent?

SeXXXySpider: Vaggie already said no weapons.

SssirP: I wasn’t! I actually… well.

SeXXXySpider: Ye-e-e-e-es?

SssirP: I happen to be quite skilled at the creation of outfits.

WhiskeyWhiskers: Wait, like… sewing?

SssirP: Why yes.

NaNaNaNiff: Ehehe, really????

SssirP: I am. I have created outfits for the Egg Boiz. I could arrange them in a fashion show to display some of their costumes.

CharChar: That’s adorable, Pentious!

SssirP: Aww, thank you.

NaNaNaNiff: Hehehe, and I shall put on a roach puppet show!

CharChar: Oh.

PurpleFemale: We asked for this….

SeXXXySpider: Yeeeeeeeeep

CharChar: I guess that’s okay. Sure, Niffty. Puppet show it is.

NaNaNaNiff: Yay!

NaNaNaNiff: I had this idea for a Romeo and Juliet story except instead of poison and daggers they blew up the whole town!

WhiskeyWhiskers: Off course you did, Niff.

CharChar: Alastor, come on. Everyone else is going to participate. You can’t be the only one not showing off some kind of talent.

Alastor: My talents are rather targeted use, my dear.

SeXXXySpider: Actually.

Alastor: Be SiLeNt, SpIdEr

SeXXXySpider: Charlie?

CharChar: Now now, Alastor. Let Angel say what he wants to say.

Alastor: Mm, nO

SeXXXySpider: Didn’t that mess Mimsy say Alastor was a good dancer

Alastor: I WiLl EnD YoU

CharChar: Alastor, no!

CharChar: We don’t hurt other members of the hotel.

Alastor: It’S QuItE EaSy

CharChar: Angel, do you want to come hide in our room for a bit?

SeXXXySpider: Already at your door.

Hi <3 for the fakeboy academy game, my deadname is ✨Emilia✨ and some of my kinks r r4pe/cnc, spanking and any kind of punishment rlly, object insertion, misgendering and degradation! Love ur content btw 💖

"Student Profile: Emilia

Class Year: Sophomore Intended Focus: Obedience Advisor: Prof. Williams

Transition Notes:

Student displayed typical resistance to sexual advances in freshman year. Student is particularly humiliated by public impact play, so was assigned a regular spot in the plaza's pillories. Pillory sentence yielded positive results, with student arousal being very noticeable despite verbal protests. From Prof. Bender: "Emilia bruises easily, creating a delightful canvas for punishment."

Student is visibly uncomfortable with feminine terms related to her genitals. For the duration of her Obedience 101 term, she was referred to exclusively as "cunt/pussy." More positive results were seen from this, as she occasionally slips up and refers to herself by those names, even though she has been given permission to refer to herself with her real name.

Fall 2023 Semester Schedule

Obedience 250 - A Life of Servitude: This course is intended for those anticipating a focus in obedience. Students can prime themselves for their commitment, and their sponsor can ensure the selected focus fits their needs. Higher standards are enforced, such as only speaking when spoken to, no eye contact with men, and spending long hours on hands and knees.

Athletics 305 - Inner Strength: An upper-class athletics elective, students in this class are given kegel and anal training plans to maximize their sexual ability. Final exams are judged by width and weight of objects that can be carried in the vagina and rectum.

Home Economics 234 - Staff Coordination: Many sponsors retain large households consisting of non-FA women. It's then essential for fakeboys to lean to behave in a group. This class ensures graduates will fit effortlessly into any household, being able to work in any home sector, or serve as a communal sex slave if the head of the house wishes.

Obedience/Femininity Studies 208 - As You Should Be: A cross-listed course that details female hierarchy. Students are taught to know their own limitations as women and their acceptable responsibilities.

THE PROGRESSION OF OSWALD’S FEELINGS TOWARDS FELIX

So during my first reading of The Inky Mystery, I found it a little rushed for Oswald to have agreed to something romantic with Felix in the far future, especially since I felt at the time that there weren’t many indicators of Oswald potentially having romantic feelings.

OH BUT DURING MY RE-READ….

It’s hard to tell AT FIRST if you aren’t paying attention especially with EVERYTHING ELSE going on in the story.

Here is how Oswald’s feelings toward Felix changes overtime before the confession, along with most of their interactions(warning-I am not counting the times where Felix is genuinely compared to Ortensia cause that isn’t fair)(please let me know if I miss anything)

Was the cat trying to watch out for Oswald’s son? How kind of him. “Hello.” Oswald greeted the cat with a smile. Felix blushed from the tip of his pointed ears to the end of his tail.(69)

Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that you treat my children so kindly.” His smile grew, and Felix felt himself heat up. “I really do hope we meet again very soon.”(69)

Ozzy, this is Boris, Cuphead, and Mugman.” Mickey indicated the three behind him. “And that over there is Alice and Holly, and you remember--”

“Felix! Nice to see you again!” Ozzy walked over to the cat with a bright smile. Felix ducked and flushed.

“Hello, Oswald,” Felix murmured. “Glad to see you’re doing well.”(85)

The rabbit sighed and scratched his ear. “I want to believe you, Felix. Sorry, I’m worried, and I can get hot headed,” he apologized, his sharp eyes turning gentle again.(88)

He had to admit after reading one of Felix' books as a bedtime story, he was colored impressed. He wondered how much was true and how much was embellished. It was hard to imagine the soft spoken man as this grand adventurer.(101)

“Mr. Oswald, hi.” The wolf kid waved with an uncertain smile. Oswald crossed his arms.

He was still getting used to talking again and didn’t really enjoy it, but he couldn’t stay quiet anymore either. It would devastate Mick and the kids if he went silent again.

That didn’t mean he had to be courteous to these people, though.

“We came by to look at the hole and see if we could do anything to help.” Felix stepped up. “We may have an idea of where Mickey’s at too.” Oswald raised a brow but pushed the door open.(101)

“Mr. Oswald,” Felix called from outside his door. “W-we aren’t leaving immediately. If you want to come, we can discuss it. But there are somethings that have be taken care of in town first.”

He threw the door open to see the cat author jump in surprise.

“What’s so important that my brother has to wait!”

“We-well, you see, one of the hostage requests is a girl. We still haven’t talked to her yet, and she isn’t in the best health to travel either.” Felix shrugged helplessly. “We have to plan carefully if we want to save Mickey.” That...was true. He had a bad habit of jumping in without a plan.(101)

Oswald swallowed and nodded. “Fine. But I am coming. You leave me behind, and I will call the police and report all of you.”

Felix’ ears dropped and a strange sorrow entered his eyes. “Of course.” Oswald ignored the pang of guilt he felt for threatening the cat. They had all lied to him. He had nothing to feel bad about, but Felix had been a wonderful visitor and a friend. The kids adored him.

“I’m trusting you Felix,” Oswald found himself saying. He watched the cat’s ears perk and eyes light up.(101)

He felt a bit guilty since he had to admit he didn’t completely trust Felix, and the cat had been nothing but kind and understanding. (103)

Boris is right.” Felix smiled at Oswald gently. “Mickey is a very capable person. I’m sure we will be able to get him back right as rain.”

Oswald tried his best to smile for the kind cat. “Thanks.” (103)

Oswald raised a brow. “Oh really?” He glanced at Felix. “Then hopefully Felix will get me chance to prove myself soon.” Felix looked up from his paper, eyes wide.

“Uh? M-me?” He blinked.

“You’re the most famous adventurer here, after all.” Oswald pointed to the book Holly had. “So, you’re the one that hands out the adventure cards.” He shrugged. “Makes sense to me.”( 104)

Oswald shrugged Felix off and walked away without a word. He looked at Felix and turned. “Mr. Oswald!” Felix called after him. “Mr. Oswald!” The cat went to follow.(105) (it’s unclear what happened between them after this but Oswald is less antagonistic toward cup for the rest of the trip and Felix ended up going to save Mickey instead of the brush despite it being at first a desperate attempt to get ozzy to calm down so in my eyes it counts)

Okay! Let’s go!” Felix said as he pulled Mugs and Boris away by their neck-wear. Oswald watched in entertained and perplexed amazement. Bendy felt like he missed something(106)

Oswald!” Felix stood too. “Wait, there has to be a mistake! We--”

“It’s okay Felix. I can handle this. You fellas just rest and relax,” Oswald said(106)

We’re all in danger as long as this thing is ticking,” Felix said pityingly. Oswald grimaced and looked from the door to Felix and back again. He clenched a fist and banged it against the car wall.

“Fine!” he growled and turned on Bendy and Boris. “But you make sure you get him out safe!”(109)

Holy stars. We’re alive.” Oswald slumped against the wall. Felix stepped up and patted him on the shoulder.

“Nice job Oswald.” Felix smiled.

The rabbit snorted. “You can call me Ozzy after this. Hell, call me anything you want. That was absolutely insane.”( 110)

Felix. He had a new respect for the cat. Soft spoken and kind. He had a tough side too. The toon had been steely yesterday. He was definitely the adventurer from his books. Oswald could see it now.(112)

“If he’s a demon, what is stopping him from going on a rampage with them? Maybe attack the angel’s city or something. I mean, that would make a lot of sense.”

“And you think Felix would actually help with that?” Mickey raised his brows.

“Maybe he’s lying to all of them,” Oswald suggested.(112)

Oswald stayed still, eyes wide as he absorbed what had just happened. How Felix had reacted. Until he felt heat in his ears and face. No way.(112)

“Ozzy?” Felix asked and followed his glance to the other side of the long table. “Is everything okay?”

The rabbit sighed. It wasn’t his business. It really wasn’t. He was having a good night with his friends and brother.(125)

The inky crew seemed curious, especially cupface, but Oswald could ignore them. Almost. All but Felix.(125)

Oswald sighed. “Let me guess. You said or did something and you’re wondering if this is all your fault.”

Felix’ eyes widened. “How do you know?”

Oswald laughed. “Because that’s how a parent thinks.” He grinned. “And I knew you were close to them, Felix.” (149)

Felix scowled. “It’s nothing,” he grumbled and stomped to the sidewalk, the others on his tail.

“Don’t give me that!” Oswald said. “Now show me.”

Felix rolled his eyes and lifted his shirt. A couple pieces of glass and a long shallow cut above his scars. Oswald paled. “I’m fine,” Felix said again and sat on the sidewalk(150)

Hey Felix, seems like we’re in the same boat.” Oswald smiled. (156)

You just be the nice fella you’ve been and listen when someone wants to finally talk about it,” Oswald said and shut his eyes.

“You sound so wise,” Felix said and smiled(156)

Oswald shrugged. “I’ll be fine. Worry about the others.”

Felix nodded. “Thanks Ozzy. You’re a great help.”

The bunny blushed and lowered his chin. “It’s nothing.” (156)

“Don’t worry Felix. I’ll save anything good for you.” Oswald winked. The cat ducked and pulled his hat down.(162)

Oswald blinked. “Okay. Weird. Felix? What’s going o- Why do you have antlers ?” The adventurer had two perfectly mirrored deer antlers right between his ears.(248)

Just the entirety of them in 251 but here are some personal favorites:

“Doubts? You?” Oswald tilted his head, looking surprised.(251)

Oswald flushed and scratched the back of his head embarrassed. “It makes sense that I instantly felt a connection with you. I mean, I understand not getting along with your family and being burned in the past too.”(251)

Oswald winked. “After all, you’re a cussing charming fella. How could they not love that smile!”

Felix flushed. Oswald blinked and blushed himself. Felix coughed. “Thanks!” the cat said quickly to save both of them from an awkward silence. “I appreciate that. More than you know.”

Oswald’s face got even darker, his ears fell. “Don’t mention it.”(251)

Oswald’s cheeks flushed before he raised his nose. “Brillant, huh?”

“You’re everything you listed and then some. I hope I can shape up to be half the father you are,” Felix said.

Oswald grinned. “Go on.”

Felix paused a raised a critical brow.

Oswald smirked teasingly. “I never said anything about being humble.”

The two burst with laughter. (251)

Okay, okay,” Oswald wheezed. “We better go before anyone bangs the door down.”

“Well, you’d have to get off me first,” Felix pointed out. Oswald looked down and seemed to realize that he was straddling Felix.

“Ah! S-sorry! Oops, sorry! Haha!” The rabbit's face darkened (251)

Oswald's eyes widened. Felix attempted to escape to the door, but a hand closed around his wrist. “Hey,” Oswald said, his tone had dropped. Felix glanced back to see the handsome bunny watching him intensely. “H-how about lunch tomorrow? I’ll buy.”

What was with that look? “Okay,” Felix agreed, feeling both excited and a little nervous. “What’s the occasion?”

Oswald smiled, but his eyes didn’t soften. “Does there need to be one?”(251)

The hand on his shoulder squeezed before pulling back. “Bendy and Boris need me. In a lot of ways, now more than ever.” He looked up to see Oswald's smile soften into something warmer(256)

Felix raised a brow. “You’d go into Hell for me?”

Oswald folded his arms behind his head. “Well yeah, Feels. You’d do that for me. I know you would. You’re amazing so I’m just trying to keep up.”

Felix felt his face heat up, and he laughed. “You keep up with me? Hahaha! Ozzy, I thought I needed to try to keep up with you!”

“M-me!” Oswald chuckled. “Well, I’ll be.” (262)

“He’s actually quite the fella. Super smart, fast, funny, bashful, and you’d think he’s all quiet but no. He is full of surprises! Right when I think I have him figured out, there’s a new twist. He can really keep me on my toes. But he’s a good fella. No, a great one. He’s trying to adopt those boys and it’s not easy. I’ve been trying to help and I swear they make those documents as dry as possible in hopes you’d give up! But Felix is smart. Smarter than me. And you should see the look in his eyes when he gets mischievous. You aren’t ready for it since he seems like such a nice strait-laced fella but he can be a real schmuck if he wants to!”(268).

I've seen theories saying that Amane was possessive of Tsukasa, but in my opinion I don't think he was. In chapter 101 he is trying to get Tsukasa to go to his friends and leave him alone. I think what Amane wanted was for Tsukasa to be happy without him, and I got the impression that Tsukasa was the possessive one. What is your opinion on the matter?

Welcome to the blog of someone who wholeheartedly understands Amane as dangerously possessive. I don't think it is a "theory", he's canonically chronically jealous and insecure with Nene-chan! That's Amane's nature!

A constant gag.

[if you didn't get it, 'horseradish to heaven' was Hanako punishing/bullying Nene-chan for being concerned with Kou instead of himself, after Hell of Mirrors. He doesn't like that she's worried about Kou instead of himself.]

Even from the earliest point.... [do you think this is a chill thing for a guy to repeatedly do to a girl who tells him "you're not my type", and who has a kind of position of power over her? What right does Amane have to constantly insist Nene-chan stop thinking about other guys???? He isn't her boyfriend!! He does all of this shmoozing noncommittally within the first month of meeting her, again and again! Nene-chan calls it sexual harassment, because that's what it is ... and on top of it all, she'll get squeezed or climbed on or have water dropped onto her, or publically humiliated, or guilted by him sulking openly .... ]

and then, in serious story beats, Hanako is repeatedly grasping for control of any thread of her fate.

[^^ its not just important Nene-chan be saved. it is important he be the one to do it. A sentiment he has more than once, when Kou is trying to save Nene-chan. NENE-CHAN understands this is possessive!!!!]

The Amane we see right now, is the Amane after the shinjuu, the murder-sucide with his brother. An Amane who is ashamed of something he did, or, a nature inside of him... an Amane who is holding something back.

I wonder what that nature is like?

I think Amane is trying to behave. He's trying to be selfless, and not repeat his past. His emotions towards Nene-chan clearly scare him. He's digging his heels in.

Early on, Amane thinks, "I'll make this girl's final year fun and entertaining. I can do that for her..." [<- he will do this by taking over all of her free time, leaving her no room for her own hobbies or clubs. Even that's a little crazy to me. He's certain he'll be the best use of her time, and other things are a waste, for her final year of life. He'll have it be with him. I don't even think this stage is very chill, given he threatens her if she wants to run off and do anything else ...]

[^^ much like the sexual harassment, possessiveness, Nene-chan will tell you precisely what her own experience is (:]

Amane is briefly OK with the thought of Kou trying to help. He's trying to be chill [can you believe this all ^ is trying to be chill?]

Tsukasa, through Picture Perfect, offers Amane another solution: trap Nene-chan eternally. An interesting solution to propose, given what Tsukasa has been through, as Amane's Yorishiro:

He's clearly bewitched by the idea. Only when Nene-chan lays it out, does Amane seem to suddenly realize what he's doing-- repeating the past, maybe? I imagine the shinjuu was a manner of eternally binding himself and Tsukasa.... making sure the two of them, together, have no future ...

by the way, Tsukasa has faith in Nene-chan, and provides her the necessary information and tools to escape (: he never interrupts their romances, even if he's clearly observing them, either... that would be so weird to do to someone you are jealous of ... !

In the Far Shore arc, Amane has accepted that he cannot trap Nene-chan; that it isn't fair to do to her. He went from "well, she'll die, but I'll just give her a fun last year myself..." to "I'll keep her soul eternally safe and happy..." to "I need to let her go. But, I also need something ... so, I'll be the one to fix everything, always having touched her life."

He's finally forcing himself, there, to let her go, to make her live her own life without him. But do you think that is really what Amane wants?

For me, you thinking "Amane wanted Tsukasa to leave him alone" in ch.101, is akin to thinking Amane really wants Nene-chan to go and marry someone else. Of course not. But he doesn't want to talk about what he wants! And what he wants, is scary, perhaps. That's Amane's whole thing!!! That's what the whole manga is about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amane knows what is "the proper thing to do". He knows it would be "bad" to force Tsukasa to have no life, just because he has no life. It would also be wrong to force Nene-chan to have no life, just because he has no life.

That's only "what he knows is right/wrong" though. The problem Nene-chan and Tsukasa are constantly running into, is

AMANE WON'T TELL THEM WHAT HE WANTS TO HAPPEN!!!!!

and then he does crazy things to them.

lol

Tsukasa seemingly now is trying very hard to make Amane come to terms with his sense of love and attachment. He's doing an amazing job of it, and Nene-chan is obviously central to that point being made; interestingly, he's not making it with himself.

I think Amane is a bit frustrating, for Tsukasa and Nene-chan. He won't give them a straight answer, he is always cryptic, and contradictingly attached. So, you see why Tsukasa is orchestrating a lot of nonsense, and Nene-chan is running around behind his back acquiring information.

For Nene-chan, he is both constantly acting jealous and possessive, needy and clingy and attached, while also refusing to say 'I love you', call her beautiful, or let her know what he really thinks or feels about her. He doesn't want her to have a boyfriend, but he won't ask her out, either.

[by the way, in the character quiz, Amane does say he won't confess first....]

For Tsukasa, Amane has literally made him his possession, as well as made the dramatic choice to alter his own fate, and die with Tsukasa ................. and perhaps he still "won't say it".

What did Amane die with Tsukasa for, if his fate was meant to live on? And why would Amane kill Tsukasa himself .... well, he saved Nene-chan in order to make her "live a life bestowed by my hand [...] and no one else's." I wonder why he would want his own hands to kill Tsukasa?

A very personal gesture, wouldn't it be?

Frankly, I'm just sure Tsukasa dealt with the same thing as Nene-chan this whole time-- Amane doesn't like to be honest about his feelings.... AidaIro rag on him for his lack of communication skills ...

TL: BACK LUCK: talk to the people around you.

Do you think you know what Amane really wants? Do you know what Amane is holding back? Do you know what he doesn't want to say, or do? Why is he so cryptic? Why doesn't he want Nene-chan to know any details about his past, the murder?

hmmm....

Amane talks all about a lunar rock he found when he was age 4 [interesting, that's the age Tsukasa returned to him!], which nobody would believe is a real rock [interesting, their mom denies Tsukasa is real!] but he believes is real [interesting], and he then calls the rock his prize possession [interesting, when yorishiro are possessions owned by the mystery keeping them! What kind of mindset is this, lol?] [by the way, if you didn't know, Tsukasa is regularly symbolized with the moon, and his very name evokes the word for moon (:]

As for Tsukasa being possessive, I'll just link my husband's great post on that.

No, I don't think Tsukasa is possessive of Amane. He IS obsessed with him and loves him dearly, but not in a possessive manner, at all. I think he's the exact opposite of possessive. I even think that's HIS problem... ! I even think that problem caused Amane grief and anguish, as a guy who refuses to be the first to confess anything!!! Tsukasa never seemed to have a dream or wish for the future, but to watch Amane make his decisions and do as he pleases.

I think Amane is incredibly possessive, but trying very hard to not fall into his past patterns and actions. He keeps the truth close to his chest.

and ah, he is failing.

Anyone can disagree, but I won't argue any of it back-and-forth. I feel AidaIro's other works perfectly confer this 'problem' in characters Iro-sensei likes to write and explore, and Aida-sensei likes to make expressive art about.

Il massacro dei 250 ragazzi al rave party nel deserto e il rapimento di decine di altri ha chiuso definitivamente la polemica sinistra ma anche destra sulla natura di Hamas. È un partito di ispirazione nazista che ha distrutto ogni speranza di evoluzione politica, civile ed economica del popolo palestinese. È terrorismo ideologico che nutre fanatismo e corruzione. È la realizzazione in altra dimensione del progetto politico indipendentista della mafia terrorista di Totò Riina. La partita va chiusa definitivamente. E l’Iran va disarmato.

via https://twitter.com/mrctrdsh/status/1711268919787372961

Lo spieghi ai suoi alleati sinistri eredi di Chamberlain, l'appeaser con Hitler, quelli che "solo il dialogo" (con le bestie!) o addirittura "tutta colpa delle politiche israeliane"

(beh, in fondo han ragione: é tutta colpa di chi, giusto 50 anni fa, per avere la pace c'è cascato, ha regalato Gaza ad Hamas e tutto il Sinai agli egiziani, pur avendo stravinto, coi carri a 101 km da IlCairo senza più nessuno a fermarli, dopo essere stati aggrediti di sorpresa anche quella volta).

LA PARTITA VA CHIUSA. DEFINITIVAMENTE.

How Clearcuts Cause Soil Erosion

Originally posted on my website at https://rebeccalexa.com/how-clearcuts-cause-soil-erosion/

I live within sight of the Willapa Hills. This mountain range, a contemporary of the Oregon Coast Range, stretches from the north bank of the Columbia River to the Olympic Mountains. As these are very old mountains–they began forming about 60 million years ago–they aren’t as tall and impressive as the Cascades. But they’re still a gorgeous sight, especially when snow falls at a low enough elevation to dust the gentle peaks.

They’re also one of the most heavily denuded mountain ranges on the west coast. All but a few small patches are in private hands and have been clearcut at least once. Old logging towns dot the area; as logging companies like Weyerhauser have sent timber overseas to be processed, most sawmills in the U.S. have closed down in recent decades. While the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) became the scapegoat in the 1990s, more jobs have been lost due to corporate decisions like these than to the protection of the last scraps of old-growth forest.

Driving across the Astoria-Megler bridge from Oregon, the beauty of the Columbia River Estuary is marred by bare, scarred hillsides everywhere you look on the Washington side. And the damage just continues as you head north up 101, which offers close-up views of land torn apart once again by recent clearcuts.

The main concern most people have with regards to clearcuts is the loss of the trees; after all, those are the most obvious component of the forest. But the damage goes much deeper. Entire ecosystems are bulldozed to bare dirt to make it easier for heavy machinery to gather the trees; killing numerous living beings and severely compacting the soil.

That soil is then left defenseless, shorn of its rich, protective layers of vegetation and duff. The Willapa Hills can get upwards of 100 inches of precipitation a year, almost all of it as rain. Climate change has led to more severe weather that dumps larger amounts of rain in short periods of time.

A healthy, mature forest can mitigate some of the effects of these downpours as vegetation slows the velocity of raindrops, and the complex, layered soil with its cover of duff absorbs the water. A clearcut lacks these protections, which means every time it rains, tons of topsoil wash off the bare hills. It takes decades for trees and other vegetation to return to a point where they can effectively protect the soil, but by that point an incredible amount of valuable soil has been lost permanently, and will take many centuries to build back up–assuming the land isn’t just clearcut again when the trees are a few decades old.

This, of course, is terrible for the local ecosystem. Any plants and fungi that return to that area are going to be dealing with badly depleted soil with fewer nutrients and a diminished soil microbiome. On a much wider scale, soil is an incredibly important carbon sink, and clearcuts severely reduce the soil’s ability to hold carbon. This is in addition to all the carbon released and produced through the act of clearcutting in the first place.

But it’s not just the land affected by soil erosion. All that soil flows into streams and other waterways. Normally the streams that cascade down the Willapa Hills have rocky beds, full of gravel deposits used by salmon to lay their eggs, and offering shelter to a variety of other aquatic life. When soil washes down into the stream, some of it settles into the gravel, smothering it and anything living in it, to include salmon eggs. This directly leads to a significant decline in salmon and other aquatic wildlife populations. Some streams have been so badly damaged that their longtime salmon runs have gone extinct.

Clearcut forests are the most obvious source of soil erosion, but the same problems happen anywhere the soil is laid bare. Millions of acres of prairie have been destroyed in the past couple of centuries to create farmland in the Midwest; grassland soils are even better carbon sinks than those in forests. And while lawns may have a rudimentary covering of one species of grass (and perhaps a few weeds in the absence of spraying), the soil underneath is usually quite unhealthy and not sequestering carbon the way a natural grassland would. (Lawns, by the way, cover over 63,000 square miles of the United States and are the country’s largest cultivated crop.)

So what can we do about all this? We can start by putting public pressure on logging companies and other entities involved in destroying intact native ecosystems like forests and grasslands. While we do still need timber, there are more sustainable alternatives to clearcutting that are also more carbon-friendly.

It’s also important to protect what native ecosystems remain, especially those that are relatively undamaged by development, invasive species, and other deleterious factors. And habitat restoration, even on a small scale, can make a big difference both locally and as part of a wider network of restoration projects in backyards and on balconies.

Finally, keep sharing news stories and other information about soil erosion and solutions. The more people know about this important ecological topic, the better decisions we can all make both as individuals and as part of a society.
