Phosphate forms the “backbone” of RNA and DNA and is also a key component of cell membranes. The concentrations of phosphate required to form these biomolecules in the lab are hundreds to 1 million times higher than the levels normally found in rivers, lakes or in the ocean. This has been called the “phosphate problem” for the emergence of life — a problem that soda lakes may have solved.

Lake won't stop eating things that are clearly not meant to be food
Today I opened a bottle of soda and they popped the cap in their mouth like it was candy

there's a restlessness that grows and grows in me whenever i spend too long without making artwork, and that is really hard to manage with disability because i need rest to recover but i cannot properly rest because i'm not making !!
im just gathering words and ideas and images in research and mind, hoping that i get to make very very soon (but is that enough??? never!)

Doing some cleaning up, I found THIS. Forgot that I bought it. I feel like everyone has a self-help phase in their life where they invest too much time in this shit. (Ask me about the Eckhardt Tolle and Tim Ferriss books I own. Wait, no, don't.)
I dunno. I need some positivity in my life because of this foot thing. I'm genuinely worried that this damage to my foot is permanent, and by the time I get a diagnosis it'll be irreversible. Nerve damage? Blood clots? POSSIBLE SURGERY?
Resisting pain is exhausting, friends. But I've only ever been hopeful. <3

Flat Top Tab Can and Bobber by James Marvin Phelps
Via Flickr:
Flat Top Tab Can and Bobber Government Wash Lake Mead NRA Clark County, Nevada December 2022 Friday afternoon hike with fellow photographer Tony Donofrio in Government Wash in Lake Mead National Recreation Area. My fourth hike out to this area and the first since late summer. Some good news is that the lake water level is a few feet higher than in August.

California Braces for Historic Blizzard: Sierra Nevada Under Threat
A powerful winter storm is set to unleash its fury on the Sierra Nevada from Thursday to Sunday, bringing record-breaking snowfall and blizzard conditions. ️
Here's what you need to know:
Up to 13 feet of snow is expected at the highest peaks.
Mountain travel will be impossible due to blizzard conditions with near-zero visibility.
This storm is different from previous ones:
Colder and originating from Alaska, not Hawaii.
Stronger jet stream will push the storm system inland.
Potential for record-breaking snowfall at UC Berkeley's Central Sierra Snow Lab.
Impacts:
Heavy snow expected at lower elevations, including foothills and parts of the Bay Area. ❄️
Strong winds exceeding 110 mph on the Sierra crest.
Possible power outages and disruptions. ⚡
Stay safe! ⚠️
Avoid travel to the Sierra Nevada unless absolutely necessary.
Prepare for potential power outages.
Stay informed of the latest weather updates.
