Scientists in Vienna have created a leather alternative from mushroom mycelium that’s stronger, more flexible, & more fire-resistant than animal hide. Grown in low-oxygen chambers & treated with non-toxic enzymes, it’s biodegradable, cruelty-free, & without harmful chemicals or environmental damage.

Wow. Suddenly feeling like I could write that shit
This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

#didthistoday went to the 50501 protest in my state! I’m glad I went. I was nervous, but it was easy. There were all ages and genders, pregnant people, blind folks, people in wheelchairs. Folks brought water for eachother and picked up litter when we weren’t marching. ❤️
