““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.”

— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous.

You know I gotta learn shitpost brevity. Most of my successful posts are like 3 paragraph essays, minimum. Fucking dissertations. Terrible note-to-word ratio. Inefficient. In this economy? In this economy? Unsustainable. Everyone else posting "blowing my balls up at the bomb factory" and getting 50,000 notes. Amazing ROI. They're the future and I'm on dial-up. The market's gonna out-compete me.

While winter isn’t the most exciting time to forage, there are some subtle preserved beauties out there to find. Some of my favorites are making tea with conifer leaves and turkey tails, jams from the mushier rose hips, and collecting frozen sap. What’s your favorite foraged finds during the cold season?

From the Roots – behind Irish environmental news stories

The goal of From the Roots as a podcast is to demystify the science and figures in Irish environmental news stories and to give the necessary background for you to understand them… in fifteen minutes or less, or your money back.

There are so many breaking environmental news stories every day and limited space, even for journalists who are interesting in factual reporting, to give people the background. A lot of conversations by activists can turn into jargon, inaccessible for newcomers, quite quickly.
