I guess I wasn’t expecting nonfiction about plants to make me cry, but the last essay in @jessicajlee.bsky.social’s Dispersals did just that 🪻

Thinking about nature writing & parenting. How quickly the childcare/workdays pass. Later in spring I'll bring my toddler into the field with me to see critically endangered fish. As I write about the future of the world, doesn't it only make sense that I bring her along? It's her future, anyway.

"These are essays written for a world in motion. Plants that, in dispersal, might teach us what it means to live in the wake of change."

Respectfully: I'm quite happy to be winding up Zoom calls for the season, but for no one to get to see my now festive backdrop feels wrong. 🎄
