A few photos of Ricasolia virens - one of my favourite lichens. ^_^

When well hydrated it is rampantly vogon-green, with a fishy odour, and exuding tiny droplets of a milky white fluid from its pimple-shaped pycnidia.

My Role in a Social Change Ecosystem: A Mid-Year Check-In

At the beginning of 2019, I shared a reflection about how to move off the seesaw of outrage and numbness that many of us find ourselves on…

found this piece from last year that provides an easily digestible framework wrt playing your part in the creation of social change + a short questionnaire at the end to help solidify your choosing. if you’re serious about dismantling the systems that bind us but you’re unsure of where to start then here’s a good place. remember that anger can be righteous and fire can purify but it means nothing if we’re not working towards healing and rebuilding.

when you have a conceptual argument to make, why not use goldenrod as your example?

some visible mending I did on an old flannel recently! this was fun but took me so long to convince myself to do, Im very happy with how its come out though. The lichens are oak moss, bloodstain lichen, a third thats very common in texas but i forgot the name of, and then some lovely little algae (i love algae in theory but hate it in eutrophication ;v;)

it's not even cringe; it's just personal and unpolished and you've been taught to flinch away from vulnerability which doesn't mock itself

Snails in the genus Julia have a bivalved shell, like a clam!

Even though they have a clam like shell, with 2 sections, they are in fact snails (class Gastropoda). They are marine snails, found throughout the Ino-Pacific. There are 6 species which are various shades of green. Julia are tiny, only reaching a length of up to 6 mm long. They feed on algae, and incorporate the chloroplasts from the algae into their bodies. Some of the chloroplasts remain photosynthetic, and the snails are able to feed on the products of this photosynthesis. This process is called kleptoplasty.

bro just add some green onion to that rice dish you’ll be ok. bro? you don’t have any green onion? oh don’t worry bro I saved the butts of my green onions and left them in a cup of water in my sunny kitchen window for a week, and now they are tall and luscious again because growth is inevitable. Here, you can have them bro. I love you.
