Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Clavija is a Neotropical genus of 56 spp, some of which, like this C. weberbaueri, are litter-trapping Schopfbaum treelets. They have strappy leaves in rosettes that capture litter. For more information on litter-trapping, see our paper: doi.org/10.1111/boj....

Quite perturbed that no one seems to care about climate change which is the biggest threat to humanity. Fast track energy projects profiting the rich, military expansion while cutting already strained social programs. This is all going to crash down on our heads. Does anyone even give a shit?

This Thanksgiving, Let’s Feed Families, Not Factory Farms | Common Dreams
Nearly 70% of the grain grown in this country—corn, soy, wheat, and barley—never feeds a single human being. Instead, it’s fed to pigs, chickens, and cows packed into industrial animal factories.
