This Miniature Ecosystem Has Been Thriving In An Almost Completely Isolated State For More Than Forty

This miniature ecosystem has been thriving in an almost completely isolated state for more than forty years. It has been watered just once in that time. The original single spiderwort plant has grown and multiplied, putting out seedlings. As it has access to light, it continues to photosynthesize. The water builds up on the inside of the bottle and then rains back down on the plants in a miniature version of the water cycle.

As leaves die, they fall off and rot at the bottom producing the carbon dioxide and nutrients required for more plants to grow.

does anyone else have an irrational fear biden is gonna like not. do anything. when he gets elected?

like what if he just doesn’t advocate for BLM. doesn’t care about LGBTQ+ rights. won’t help with abortion laws. will deny climate change.

what if both candidates aren’t for the people. but only for themselves?

“The moral man is a lower species than the immoral, a weaker species; indeed—he is a type in regard to morality, but not a type in himself; a copy, a good copy at best—the measure of his value lies outside him. I assess a man by the quantum of power and abundance of his will: not by its enfeeblement and extinction; I regard a philosophy which teaches denial of the will as a teaching of defamation and slander— I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power
