It doesn't matter what your favorite past-time or hobby is. Crafts, photography, fishing, biking, wood working - what ever it is - enjoy it, immerse yourself. Look around, use all your senses, be present.

Because all of it could be taken away in a moment without warning. We fool ourselves out of kindness, thinking we have some control over life but that often is not what happens.

Greenpeace in 2018 said about the UK fishing industry quota-holders:-

unearthed.greenpeace.org/2018/

"Four of the top five belong to families on the Sunday Times Rich List"
"Around half of England’s quota is ultimately owned by Dutch, Icelandic, or Spanish interests"

"England and Wales, where a majority voted for Brexit, have both allowed foreign ownership of more than half their fishing quota."

Pescetarianism is sometimes lauded as an affordable, ethical, and climate friendly diet. In truth, however, it exonerates the what is arguably the most cruel and exploitative of all carnist industries, is the most expensive type of diet globally for all economic stages of development by country, and is ecologically and environmentally catastrophic.

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking that pescetarianism is ethical or that it is good for the planet. Don't let anyone pretend it's the "affordable" option, when the reality is that it's nothing more than a luxury carnist diet.

Surge | Creative Non-Profit for Animal RightsIs Fishing Bad for the Environment? — Surge | Creative Non-Profit for Animal RightsWe often talk about the Amazon rainforest being the lungs of the planet, and yet somewhere between 50 to 85% of all the oxygen we breathe comes from marine phytoplankton, tiny ocean plants, that through the process of photosynthesis, produce oxygen, and so it’s really the oceans that are our lungs.

Folks, I've done it again: revolutionizing the tabletop roleplaying game with my new release today, FISHING IN THE SPEAKING LANDS.

You know how every MMO and CRPG has a fishing minigame?

You know how no TTRPG has a fishing minigame?

Well I've fixed that problem for you, for us, for everybody.

Fishing in the Speaking Lands is a fishing minigame that you can bolt on to any Cortex game you like!

And it's free all this week: itch.io/s/150344/fishing-in-th

This business of doing things right translates into flying first class, you know up front sitting in first class where the seats are wider & you get your drinks first before those back in steerage. Excuse me, cocktails. These are the fishermen who make the distinguishment between drinks & cocktails; camp cook & chef...They spend a lot of money.

There's nothing wrong with this unless like a snob having the best gets you to thinking you deserve it.
