I went for a little trip out to the British Science Festival in Liverpool today, went to a talk about the origins & cultural heritage of food from the Americas and was rewarded with some tasty Mexican street food!

Psychologically, we're living in very hard times for all who care deeply about science, empathy, equity, nature, and rights for all citizens of the planet, human or otherwise.

Find strength, solace, and community in like-minded others, positive action, and in Mother Earth

Went to the woods looking for fungi and was not disappointed. Weird bracket/shelf fungi, plus perfect acorns and lovely vibrant green clover.
