RE: Steroids, in Our Systems and in the Ecosystem

in #steemstem5 years ago

Your graphics alone are stunning - your bibliography is mind blowing -
and the information! Steroids get flushed into the water supply and ultimately affect body development and interfere with reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems in wildlife and human populations.... this after all the toxins in potatoes (@fitinfun, last week), and polluted air from wildfires, and...
Off to go stick my head in the sand

Sort:  

Thank you for liking my graphics. A gift of Steemit. Art was always a terrain forbidden to me. Then I discovered @shaka's collage contest and began to experiment. Now I take joy in digital creations.

As for sticking our heads in the sand--life was always dangerous, wasn't it? What was life expectancy even a mere hundred years ago? So, don't worry. Be happy. Something will get you someday, but not now :))

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love it when friends read my long blogs.

Haha! The bad news is good news so you can avoid the problems, @carolkean :)

I promise you that avoiding toxins and adding nutrition really will improve your health and life.

I believe you, @fitinfun - and I've made drastic changes in the past ten years. In the Midwest, surrounded by processed food, red meat, nitrites, nitrates, sugar, pastries... beer! pizza! .... @agmoore2, you have so many talents - I would love to learn digital creations even a fraction as good as yours. Please keep writing! I learn so much from you and all of Freewritehouse!

You are really kind...but so creative I think all you need to do is sit down and decide to do it. I have poor hand-eye coordination and poor spatial visualization. Digital art is like therapy :))

Thanks for your encouragement, and I'm amazed you achieve so much with "hand-eye coordination and poor spatial visualization." For me, sewing and painting can be calming, so I believe you--"Digital art is like therapy" for you, apparently spared the techno-glitches that stymie me and freeze me up.
--Oh, I've tried... but maybe not hard enough. My expectations are skewed, living as I do with the uber-competent and talented Man of the House, who makes everything look easy, whereas "real" people may need weeks or months of practice and more practice to achieve mediocrity. He's brilliant. I'm a schlub. But that's ok; I'm a nice, harmless, happy schlub. :)

I love your cats. They have personality 😊

One of the reasons I like digital is because it enables me to go around my deficiencies and still produce a result that matches my imagination (sort of).

I don't think you read my blog about school. You can see there that I early learned to accept my 'wiring' may be a little unusual, but that doesn't mean it's worse.

Differences make us interesting. Don't compare yourself to someone else... truly be yourself and embrace the originality that shines through in everything you do.

I love your stuff and can't believe how fluently ideas and words flow from you.

You're so sweet!! Me, with words flowing fluently...and you said it so poetically.
Off to read your school post now!
Thank you for all the kind words. I treasure them!
