I forgot how much I love the percussion of an oak in autumn. The whoosh crack swish thump thud of an acorn losing its cap, hitting a leaf, bouncing off the earth and coming to rest.

I wouldn’t exclusively tweet (or do tweet-like things) at the airport if it wasn’t where humanity is at its worst

I love that thing where if you’re a black person of note, the second you leave a space where you’re recognized it’s just back to your regularly scheduled racism 😀

Every time I get myself hype about starting a seaweed farm, I check housing prices near ANY water from Cape Cod northward and???? What rich benefactor is out here trying to buy a loud girl a lil cabin (that for some reason is still a MILLI???) near the sea so I can grow my macroalgae in peace? 😭

The fact that this company relied on the QUEER brains of me and so many other talented people for YEARS just to do this feels like a slap in the face tbh

My former employer paused all marketing on Pride toys and cancelled donating the proceeds to a great org because… *checks notes* … a single bigot doesn’t understand how BarkBox works? You literally have to CHOOSE and PAY MORE for the Pride toys. Happy Pride, gang 🫠

Really don’t love chatgpt advertising all around OSU’s campus! It gives me gently sinister vibes tbh!!

@blackforager.bsky.social just finished a BRILLIANT talk that wove together racism, colonialism, the death of inherited knowledge re: the natural world, landscape snacks, and the inherent destructiveness of the #MAHA agenda in 90 min. AMAZING! Also, her #OOTD with the crop hoodie? 👌🏻 #artinbloom #CAM

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

All magnolia flowers are safe eating, but the flavor varies a lot from species to species and tree to tree! They’re STRONG, but I’d give a petal a smol nibble and see how you feel about the flavor, and if you like it, collect some!! 🩷

Eliza doesn’t deal in purely native species agroforestry, and I do, and that’s ok! I wish asking the general public to participate in citizen breeding was realistic! But until then they’re flimsy street trees that smell real bad and in my neck of the woods, they often colonize spaces they shouldn’t!

I love Eliza (we’re mutuals) but I do disagree on this particular tree! justifying a net negative to our local native flora because it acclimated well and originally had promise to help the pear industry (which isn’t why any bradford street trees were planted) doesn’t make sense from my world view

I’m so sorry, the midwesterner in me won and I went in the porch to look at the sky when the tornado sirens went off 😅 I’m in the basement now though and can see it is STROBE LIGHTING outside rn 😭 I can’t remember lighting this constant

PS - can we please just HAVE SOMETHING without every person who crosses the street when they see a black person feeling the need to tell us how bad they thought it was???? Please???? Can we have that???

If you are a yt person over 50, and you’re about to give your negative opinion of the halftime show, THINK: [T]hings don’t have to be “for you” to be good art. [H]eck, Kendrick has a Pulitzer and [I] don’t think you do so maybe you are [N]ot qualified to speak on the caliber of his art [K]?

Today was a very, very good day (on a micro level… but on a macro level… things are pretty rough in the U S of A)

I… I almost don’t want to say this… because I don’t want to jinx it… but the seasonal affective disorder hasn’t caught me yet?? And I think it’s because I’ve been focusing in on time with community and working on little crafts??
