How are people’s lives set up that this is a thing that they think people want or would use? Y’all got kind of free time to have a make-believe conversation with a made up character on a platform — who does dinner and cleans out the fridge at your house that you have time for this?

With both Lake Powell and Lake Mead at record-lows, here’s a look at how their water levels have varied since Powell was filled in 1980. Neither has recovered from a severe drought in the early 2020s, while Colorado River flows continue to drop. #dataviz #climate #globalwarming
Two graphs of water stored in Lake Powell (left) and lake Mead (right). The data are measured over the water year, which runs from October 1st to October 1st. Years when the lake level increased are marked in blue, years when they decreased are marked in red. Levels in Lake Powell maxed out at about 24-million-acre–feet  in the early 1980s, and are currently just over 5-million-acre-feet. Lake Mead was just over 25-million acre-feet in the early 1980s and late 1990s, but is now just under 7-million acre-feet.

An art piece of Medusa, with the snakes of her head drinking from saucers held up by Medusa while surrounded by poppy flowers. 

was a beautiful mortal woman, a priestess in Athena/Minerva's temple where she was raped by Poseidon/Neptune- as punishment for the desecration of her temple, Athena turned Medusa into a gorgon, such that those she looked upon turned to stone. The gods then gave Perseus key tools to slay her (some tellings of the myth have Perseus sneaking to attack her while she was sleeping) so he could use her head for his own purposes. Because fuck everything. Duffy, W. S. (2020). Medusa as victim and tool of male aggression. Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice, 7(1), 1.
