1) What's the weather like where you are right now?

Hot, naturally, during a Floridian summertime. 

2) Has your weather been seasonally appropriate lately, or has it been unusual?

I haven't noticed anything unusual for FL, but I was vacationing in Philly a while ago, and it was definitely hotter than normal. My relatives there noted that, so it wasn't just me.

3) Have you noticed any trends in the weather near you over the past few years?

Hotter summers and colder winters. I barely see red or orange leaves during fall, and don't really notice spring....

4) Are you worried about climate change?

Absolutely! And I wish politicians would do more to fight against it.

5) Are you doing anything to combat climate change?

I'm not perfect by any means, and I don't always do it intentionally, but in some ways!

• been vegetarian for a few years now
• use bamboo toothbrushes for brushing my teeth and bar soaps (rather than the liquid kind) for showering (and also turn off the water when I'm scrubbing soap on and turn it back on to rinse off)
• use a reusable water bottle for the most part (occasionally making some exceptions for certain times)
• recycle and also be mindful of what I buy

(Honestly, some of these are things I do to save money too lol....)

Like I said, I'm not perfect and am not always acting as sustainable as I could, but I'm not gonna break my back doing it, and I don't think the average person should either. That said, I hate when people who can try to defend why they shouldn't bother. The onus isn't on the average person, but we could still help, especially by not giving money to companies causing the most harm. (Though, of course, I don't want to force anyone to do anything either.)

I'm still watching TMM New and honestly? I'm warming up to it. These last few eps have been more interesting. Zakuro saved the day! lol 

Again, I haven't read the manga or watched most of the original anime, but gathering from other fans' posts, I really like what they're doing with Mint and her dynamic with Zakuro. She's still fangirly, but she also tried giving her space after Zakuro initially rejected the girls. I'm honestly on board with this ship!

Still wish some of the fans of the new anime would chill when other people criticize elements of it. Even if it's in the manga, you can still criticize plot elements that you think were better handled in the original anime. Some of this reminds me of those overdefensive Sailor Moon fans whenever anyone criticizes Crystal....Though thankfully it hasn't gotten that nasty yet. (And even as someone who's displeased with a lot of Crystal, I think some haters went too far off into the other direction, to just straight up nitpicking or even making up stuff to be angry about. I can't get over people claiming Ikuhara was the one responsible for HaruMichi, and that Takeuchi didn't depict them as a couple in the manga. 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Also, I'm rewatching Death Note! I haven't seen the entire series since I was a teen. It's making me so nostalgic. Just like with Madoka, I'm appreciating more of the story I didn't pay attention to back then. And I'm far from a Kira apologist, but I find myself appreciating Light as a character more too. Though I'm more of an L (and Near and Mello) fan and more on their "side"...though obviously they do fucked up things too. None of the major characters in this series are saints.
