Oh viento, revienta el calor, destroza el calor, hazlo jirones. La fruta no puede caer con este aire espeso— ninguna fruta puede caer en este calor que sube para aplastar la punta de las peras y redondear las uvas Destroza el calor– áralo, súrcalo, déjalo a cada lado de tu camino.

Flying over Abu Dhabi, you see that the greenest part is the sea.

If you are interested in audio media, this podcast episode about sea gardens is absolutely amazing, and features a lot of indigenous people who still participate in managing those sites today.

What I was taught growing up: Wild edible plants and animals were just so naturally abundant that the indigenous people of my area, namely western Washington state, didn't have to develop agriculture and could just easily forage/hunt for all their needs.

The first pebble in what would become a landslide: Native peoples practiced intentional fire, which kept the trees from growing over the camas praire.

The next: PNW native peoples intentionally planted and cultivated forest gardens, and we can still see the increase in biodiversity where these gardens were today.

The next: We have an oak prairie savanna ecosystem that was intentionally maintained via intentional fire (which they were banned from doing for like, 100 years and we're just now starting to do again), and this ecosystem is disappearing as Douglas firs spread, invasive species take over, and land is turned into European-style agricultural systems.

The Land Slide: Actually, the native peoples had a complex agricultural and food processing system that allowed them to meet all their needs throughout the year, including storing food for the long, wet, dark winter. They collected a wide variety of plant foods (along with the salmon, deer, and other animals they hunted), from seaweeds to roots to berries, and they also managed these food systems via not only burning, but pruning, weeding, planting, digging/tilling, selectively harvesting root crops so that smaller ones were left behind to grow and the biggest were left to reseed, and careful harvesting at particular times for each species that both ensured their perennial (!) crops would continue thriving and that harvest occurred at the best time for the best quality food. American settlers were willfully ignorant of the complex agricultural system, because being thus allowed them to claim the land wasn't being used. Native peoples were actively managing the ecosystem to produce their food, in a sustainable manner that increased biodiversity, thus benefiting not only themselves but other species as well.

So that's cool. If you want to read more, I suggest "Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of Northwestern North America" by Nancy J. Turner

June has been designated Worldwide LAM Awareness Month (WWLAM) by the Worldwide LAM Patient Coalition. WWLAM brings together the global community in a collaborative effort to educate the world about the signs and symptoms of LAM, raise funds to support women living with LAM and share our global achievements to inspire researchers and clinicians to optimize therapies and find a cure for LAM. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (lim-FAN-je-o-LI-o-MI-o-ma-TO-sis), or LAM, is a rare and progressive lung disease that affects women almost exclusively and has no known cure. LAM is characterized by an abnormal growth of smooth muscle cells, especially in the lungs, lymphatic system, and kidneys. Abnormal growth of these cells can lead to loss of lung function, accumulation of lymph-rich fluid in the chest and abdomen, and growth of benign kidney tumours. When you breathe, oxygen passes through the airways to tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, where oxygen transfers into the blood through tiny blood vessels called capillaries. The LAM cells (abnormal smooth muscle cells) cause blockage of the small airways and damage the lung tissue, reducing airflow and oxygen absorption in the blood. Scientists are working to understand the mechanisms at work in the lung that cause the formation of cysts and lung destruction.

It is estimated that for every million women, three to seven will have LAM. However, a 2023 study of four European countries suggests the prevalence is at least 21 cases per million women– substantially higher than prior estimates. All races are affected, and women with LAM have been identified in more than sixty countries. The average age of women at the time of diagnosis is approximately 35 years old. Most women with LAM have had symptoms for several years before ultimately being diagnosed.

Junio ​​ha sido designado Mes Mundial de Concientización sobre LAM (WWLAM) por la Coalición Mundial de Pacientes de LAM. WWLAM reúne a la comunidad global en un esfuerzo colaborativo para educar al mundo sobre los signos y síntomas de LAM, recaudar fondos para apoyar a las mujeres que viven con LAM y compartir nuestros logros globales para inspirar a investigadores y médicos a optimizar las terapias y encontrar una cura para LAM. La linfangioleiomiomatosis, o LAM, es una enfermedad pulmonar rara y progresiva que afecta casi exclusivamente a las mujeres y no tiene cura conocida. LAM se caracteriza por un crecimiento anormal de células del músculo liso, especialmente en los pulmones, el sistema linfático y los riñones. El crecimiento anormal de estas células puede provocar la pérdida de la función pulmonar, la acumulación de líquido rico en linfa en el pecho y el abdomen y el crecimiento de tumores renales benignos. Cuando respiras, el oxígeno pasa a través de las vías respiratorias hasta pequeños sacos de aire (alvéolos) en los pulmones, donde el oxígeno se transfiere a la sangre a través de pequeños vasos sanguíneos llamados capilares. Las células LAM (células anormales de músculo liso) bloquean las vías respiratorias pequeñas y dañan el tejido pulmonar, lo que reduce el flujo de aire y la absorción de oxígeno en la sangre. Los científicos están trabajando para comprender los mecanismos que actúan en el pulmón y que causan la formación de quistes y la destrucción pulmonar.

Se estima que por cada millón de mujeres, entre tres y siete tendrán LAM. Sin embargo, un estudio de 2023 en cuatro países europeos sugiere que la prevalencia es de al menos 21 casos por millón de mujeres, sustancialmente más alta que las estimaciones anteriores. Todas las razas se ven afectadas y se han identificado mujeres con LAM en más de sesenta países. La edad promedio de las mujeres en el momento del diagnóstico es de aproximadamente 35 años. La mayoría de las mujeres con LAM han tenido síntomas durante varios años antes de ser diagnosticadas.

💫witch tips I've gathered for the past 8 years that have worked for me💫

some you may have seen before, some you may have not 💜

☆ . ＋.。 . 。, ☆ ﾟ. ＋ ☆ * 。ﾟ. o, 。 . ＋ ﾟ ☆

- blow cinnamon into your front door in the beginning of each month to welcome in abundance.

- speaking of abundance, mix basil in your mop water before you clean your floors.

- the upside down broom trick works. if you don't know what i mean, turn your broom upside down (bristle side up) and have it near your door to ward off unwanted guests

- if you can, avoid welcome mats. it's literally inviting unwanted energy into your home. if you already have one, just turn it to face the door. OR draw sigils and intent under the mat to specify which energies or being are welcome and which aren't.

- got those cute polaroids of you and your friends? put up a photo wall if it's to your taste, and pay attention to the ones that keep falling. they either may not be doing well, or they may not be wishing you well.

- for the art witches, especially the ones that sell their art, put that intention into your moon water and use it as paint water.

- another tip for the art witches, use sigils when staining your board

- and another for art witches, treat your brush like your wand

- for the 🍃💨 ouid witches, write intentions or sigils on your wrappers, and even pens!

- you used rice and crystal CHIPS for your money bowl, and now that you're refreshing it, it's kinda tedious to pick out the chips? use a selenite stick to stir the bowl. bam. refreshed and no hassle.

I wanna share some of my favorite art styles from cartoons and animated movies. (This doesn't depict ALL the animation styles I like and please feel free to share your favorites as well)

types of kisses ; 875 words of caleb fluff (again), but suggestive-ish (implications of sex), so mdni nonetheless !! mostly though i've been in a fluffy mood and he makes me write like this 😭 HAPPY NYE!!!!

morning kisses with caleb were soft.

sleepy, still.

he tended to be more of a morning person than you, yourself, but he didn't always get up immediately, especially if he didn't need to. he was perfectly happy to hold you in his arms, cozy under the blankets—his hand would go up to make soft strokes into your hair, leaning in to place a gentle kiss on your forehead.

and then your eyes would flutter open.

and it was your most favorite thing in the world to wake up to him. sleepy smiles and sighs as you snuggle into him, the steady hum of his heartbeat... he'd chuckle a little, and then he'd be back to placing kisses all over, enjoying the soft little hum of approval that escaped your lips.

"lemme guess," he mumbled, nuzzling the crown of your head. "five more minutes, right, pipsqueak?"

"mhm. lil'more... wanna stay with you."

and then when dusk fell, and you'd be back at home to be with him, and he with you—

sometimes, afternoon kisses with him got a little more intense.

there were days like this that you were reminded of this side of him not particularly soft; the side of him a little more demanding, a little more relinquished in control. a long day for the both of you had you pressed up against the wall, knee between your legs, hands pinning yours up by the sides of your head. you barely had time to breathe; any sounds of surprise or even pleasure barely had a moment to make themselves audible, before he was crashing back into you.

you knew where it'll lead, and frankly, you didn't mind at all—

not when he kissed you like this, with so much fervor, and desire, and emotion; so, so much more than you would normally get from him. his lips would pry your own apart with ease, tongue slipping in to flick at yours—it was a feeling that made your breath hitch, your knees buckle.

he had all of you in these moments, and all of you that you would freely, gladly surrender.

because sometimes comfort with him—from him—meant exactly that.

and when the night had ended and you lay back in his arms, you'd cherish the feel of his bare skin on yours, fingers tracing the little marks he'd left on your body.

goodnight kisses were giggly, and a little playful.

he would tease, like he always did—comment on how cute you were, how good you'd been for him... you'd take a moment to swat at his arm, maybe roll around in a playful wrestle for the upper hand. you'd end up on top of him, notice that twinkle in his eye that told you that he'd absolutely let you win on purpose.

you'd watch as his gaze softened—the smirk on his lips fading into a gentle smile, his hand reaching up to tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear.

his touch lingered.

he chuckled a little bit, and your foreheads would press together—he'd have no issues stealing the giggles from your lips, breathing into each other with a certain sense of joy.... all warm kisses to signify how much he loved you.

but sometimes, other times... now, standing in the doorway to the kitchen, a mistletoe hanging above your heads...

at times like this, caleb's kisses were vulnerable... yet, sweet.

and the pull towards him didn't need such silly festivities to work.

he'd hold you by the waist, pull you close to press up against him, hands going to brush off some stray specks of glitter from your hair that you'd gotten from all the last-minute decorating...

"was this your doing, pipsqueak?" he mused.

you'd smile, because it was true.

"we don't need this, y'know."

"i know."

"s'not christmas anymore, either."

"i know."

and maybe this time it was you who made the first move, arms snaking up around his shoulders, standing up on tiptoe for your nose to nuzzle against his.

it was silly.

you didn't need a mistletoe.

if you wanted to be festive, and traditional, and whatever else—

you could have waited for the fireworks.

it was silly.

but... that was the joy of it.

you liked being silly with him.

and you would watch the way he shook his head ever so slightly, voice dropping to a whisper—"i really freaking love you, i hope you know that."

and it was just like him to leave no room for the butterflies to crowd in your stomach, before he leaned in, the first touch of his lips enough to steal your breath away.

soft.

slow.

gentle.

sweet.

a hand went to your back, holding you close, cradling you by the doorway as his lips moved against yours. he tasted like sugar—the apple pie the both of you had baked just earlier lingered still, but you didn't mind the least bit. and he kissed you again, and again, and again. his head tilted a little more, the corners of his lips turned up into a smile....

you felt it.

he was happy.

and you were more than happy to spend the next year with him as you'd been doing.

at the end of the year, kisses with caleb were perfect.

an : actually i wrote this in like an hour total, but i got distracted by my dog LMFAO 😭😭😭 special thank-you to @starmocha 's post for perpetuating the caleb feels tonight i Almost turned this into actual smut and then i remembered i was being soft today 😭😭😭
