If you aspire to become an intellectual you must learn to think very, very complicated thoughts…. -- Michael Lipsey

hello there!! i really enjoy your art and your cool informative posts about plants! :) your depiction of poison ivy is one of my favs ever. this might seem pretty random, but I'm working on a harlivy fanfiction, and i was wondering if i could consult you regarding some of ivy's character details, her ecoterrorism and the like? if you're okay with paypal, i'd be happy to pay you for your time. but no pressure, of course! have a good one!

Ah thank you! <3 and yeah feel free to send me a message! I’ll put some stuff here others might be interested in.

There’s a good piece on the history of ecoterrorism, an era known as ‘The Green Scare’. Here’s a link to that piece you can also find under the title ‘THE GREEN SCARE: How a Movement That Never Killed Anyone Became the FBI’s No. 1 Domestic Terrorism Threat’.

So as you may have inferred ‘ecoterrorism’ is a complicated topic. Most people get branded as ecoterrorists for really dumb reasons (or very upsetting reasons, like LEGALLY protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and their land). In that paper a few people broke into an office and left a gigantic tree stump. which is… kinda funny tbh. Low-level Shenanigans.

In one case, two people hung up 2 posters in the lobby of a oil and gas company’s building. There was glitter on it, some glitter fell off, so they took the posters down after a few minutes and apologized to the janitor. They were charged with a “terrorism hoax” which has a max penalty of 10 yrs. The cops kept saying there was a “panic” that this glitter was a biological agent and that the 2 people were covered in shit which I can not figure out why they lied about that? Possibly to corroborate that they looked “homeless” (one was just a grad student. Super weird).

So yeah I 100% believe Ivy would be branded as an ecoterrorist the moment she did something slightly inconvenient or impolite. Which is part of why I don’t like her depicted as a genuinely misanthropic villain bc that’s more of what “ecoterrorists” are painted to be by the FBI and other groups, and not what they really are. I think it’s really damaging propaganda that especially hurts indigenous people who are worried about the health of their communities. Indigenous rights and science are intimately tied to botany and the way we study it.

I believe in the idea of soulmates not just being romantic entanglements.

There's this girl in my life, my best friend, and I always struggle to understand the way I feel about her because I've never felt this way about someone before.

I have never had a best friend this long before. All the other people I said were my best friends are either not in my life or I don't see them enough to feel the same way I do about my actual best friends.

We made a list of all the places we wanted to go to after the lockdown gets lifted.

I wish that emotions weren't so bloody complicated but I've never loved someone as much as I love my best friend.
