The Song of My People

incense-princess:

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.

gullacass:

do your eyes ever randomly go out of focus and then you are too lazy to focus them back in and just stare at nothing for a while

I was worried I had some condition that needed fixing, cause I do this all the time.
I should probably get that fixed anyways.
