I need y'all who protested the golf courses being put into state parks to put the same energy into protesting Senate Bill 290.

As I continue throughout my quest to follow my intuition, these last few weeks have been very active—randomly choosing pictures I find interesting to paint. Why do they appeal to me? I don't really know, but I've laid out some hypotheses on Patreon in search of meaning. Feel free to join if you wonder the same as I do: patreon.com/ramonn90

Read that again.

White sharks are washing up dead in South Australia.

This is because the temperature of the ocean has risen, causing an algae bloom to over take the water, smothering their gills and suffocating them.

The temperature has risen.

This algae bloom has caused an ecological catastrophe. It’s a dead zone for all gilled life forms. When it dies it will smoother the aquatic life.

Long-term pesticide exposure accelerates aging and shortens lifespan in fish

Long-term exposure to low levels of a common agricultural pesticide can accelerate physiological aging and shorten lifespan in fish—a finding from new research led by University of Notre Dame biologist Jason Rohr with potentially far-reaching implications for environmental regulations and human health. The study, published in Science, shows that chronic exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos at concentrations too low to cause immediate toxicity causes fish to age faster at the cellular level.
