You always learn and discover your story and your world as you write. Sometimes you are just the first reader.

The Laguna Madre is a beautiful ecosystem that houses so many species of wild life and many migratory species of shore birds go there to eat and rest. Its all thanks to the sea grass that grows there, and after the big freeze of Texas in 2021, it is slowly making its recovery and now it's in danger again!

(Black Skimmer with chicks shown here)

If Elon continues with this disguising act, nitrogen and hydrogen rich waste will be dumped and plankton and algae will begin to overpopulate and create a cloud of themselves over the sea grass causing it to not get the sunlight it needs to photosynthesize. It will basically be suffocated by the overpopulation of microorganisms and die out and so many species of animals will lose that shelter they need to feed, breed and even escape dangers like predators. This grass also feeds the endangered green sea turtle and was even given the name "Turtle Grass" for its huge importance to these creatures.

(Green Sea Turtle grazing) Not only that, but the South Padre Island is one of the largest ports in America and has many shrimping and fishing companies that rely on the environment to make a minimum wage. And once the water gets polluted, so many people can get sick or worse if they eat the fish and shrimp that have been exposed to it!

(South Texas Shrimping Boats) This is serious! And if you or someone you know lives in Texas there is a way you can make a comment and state how you DON'T WANT LITERAL SLUDGE IN THE OCEAN! IT WILL HURT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS AND THE VAST AND DIVERSE ECOSYTEM THEY LIVE IN!

So it’s Flu Season again, and this recipe for Tea To Fix What Ails You was given to me by a Christian friend, and I’ve taken to calling it JESUS TEA due to it’s miraculous properties.  Even though it, technically, contains no tea.  This tea is as caffinie-free as anything processed in a US plant can get, but be sure to check the provenance and all ingredients in case of allergies.

You will Need:

A Bigass Pot, becuase this is something you make in large quantities

working stovetop

those lil cloth sachets you use for wassail/empty teabags/those lil reuseable loose-leaf tea steepers.

Recipe:

about a quart of water

1 cup apple cider

about half a lemon’s worth of juice

a shitwhack of honey- try to get as local as possible and generally the less-processed the better if you want to build a resistance to local allergens. If you have allergy concerns or don’t like the taste of honey, go ahead and use more processed stuff/another sweetener instead.

three tablespoons/three bags chamomile tea

three tablespoons/three bags rooibos tea

teaspoon crushed cloves

1 cinnamon stick (more if you like it spicier)

¼ tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp cayenne or white pepper

Bring water to a simmer in the pot.  Add the chamomile, rooibos and spices to steep about 4-5 minutes or longer if you like tea-flavored tar which given you have the flu you probably do.  Add Cider, Lemon Juice and Honey until dissolved.  Drink all of this in the course of an hour to stay hydrated, make more pots as needed or until you pass out. 

I also calculated a single serving version, which I’m putting here in case anyone wants to make it that way:

1 cup hot water

¼ cup apple cider (or more, I prefer 1/3 cup)

1 tbsp honey (or more, to taste)

a dash of lemon juice

½ tsp spice mixture

1 ½ tbsp tea mixture

Mix the spices together in one container, and mix the two kinds of tea together in another. Measure out of these the above amounts. (Don’t try to store the two things together, the spices will sink to the bottom and you won’t get the right measurements.)

Use a tea infuser/tea bag/cheesecloth/whatever to keep the herb bits from floating off into your drink. Steep for the usual 4-5 minutes, then add the cider, honey, and lemon.

Can we collectively agree that we need to keep our fan theories far away from Neil? Especially now!

HE CANNOT USE ANYTHING THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD BY SOMEONE ELSE!!!! If you send him a theory or an analysis, it guarantees that he cannot use it and it will never make it into the show. Ever. He cannot use someone else's creative work. Even if it's just a fan theory or headcanon.

DON'T SEND HIM ASKS ABOUT THEORIES AND HEADCANONS. Please. He's said multiple times that our headcanons are valid and real for us. He encourages us to have them and to be fans and to create fanworks. He doesn't need to validate any headcanon or theory for it to be worth something because it already IS. He loves his fans a great deal, which is extremely evident to me, and I hope to you all too.

YOU'RE ONLY HARMING WHAT WE COULD MAYBE HAVE!!!

So be excited, but don't COPY NEIL on anything. He's also going to be busy, busy, busy writing, so let him get in the flow and get creative.

AMAZON would automatically also be part of any possible legal consequences. They couldn't and WOULDN'T let him do it.

No matter what you say or sign away, the moment your idea comes into contact with Neil, it's done. Game Over. He would have to scrap it even if he had already been working on the same idea himself.

But this isn't how copyright works. And if it was, I'd have to wonder why he was taking the chance of ruining a story he and Pterry plotted together 30 years ago just to leave his tumblr asks open.

I don't know what, exactly, big studios are getting out of spreading the stupid idea that if you mention a vague idea online, they can never use that idea in the show they legally own the license to, but I'm tired of it.

And I'm tired of authors in fandom spaces. I'm tired of people who are in fandom spaces just to get the attention of the authors in fandom spaces. I'm tired of having the people who create media try to scare their consumers into line by threatening to change the show based on online spectacultion and/or people *correctly* interpreting the plot.

Neil is a writer. This is his profession. And because it's his profession and he wants to make a living and not get sued, ever, you can bet your last dollar that he is smart enough to consult lawyers who specialize in copyright law to understand the legal risks that arise from viewing (intentionally or otherwise) any fan-created content.

And Neil (not studios) has said very directly not to share our fan theories with him because then he has to scrap anything he has written that comes close to those theories because otherwise it puts him at legal risk.
