Extreme water recycling is a process that turns wastewater into drinking water using advanced technologies. It is already practiced in places where water scarcity is a serious issue, such as Singapore and Namibia. It could become more widespread as climate change and population growth increase the demand for fresh water.

Anole #lizard on one of our front #garden #sunflowers yesterday evening, on the hunt for bugs to eat (and welcome to them). Last summer we had a resident anole that could be found day & night on the #sunflower plants we had growing then. This year no one has claimed exclusive residence, just see different ones passing through.

Good morning, lovelies! ❤️
If you're gonna give me a day off with pay, I'll take it, regardless of how I feel about the country being "celebrated."
But if you do have activities planned (and honestly, if something comes up at the last minute, I'll probably go), have fun and stay safe.
Go out there today and spread some love! 🥰
@Huntn00 @samlitzinger It's interesting that the banned book crowd is so concerned about (white) children until the gunman strolls onto campus. But it's quite fine for someone like Viola Ford Fletcher to experience a massacre as a 7-year-old child.
@Huntn00 absolutely, what we have seen lately are a religious minority working especially through the Supreme Court and local legislatures who feel their religious freedom extends to forcing everyone to be “good little Christians” wether we like it or not. As a woman raising daughters, I feel this violation of personal rights keenly.
Due to a technical problem I had to give my talk on Asimov's foundation series and ethics at the Current Research in Speculative Fiction conference sans slides.
So, I'm showing the title slide and the last slide here instead.

Holy crap. Take a look at all the personal data that “may" be collected by Threads, Meta’s upcoming new Twitter clone.
Very on-brand, and a privacy nightmare.
