finished Careless People in about 3 days. my main takeaway is that when companies become powerful enough, they become mini-governments who can do whatever they want. we don’t have a modern concept of a country without borders invading other countries, and seem to need one.

moss caked in dew from this morning. the appendages you see sticking out is its reproductive structures extending into the region of air away from the moss where the air current is much stronger in order to disperse spores.

going to go out on a limb and say that my espresso machine is not a fan of formal methods as it picked today to give up on life, and force me to get coffee elsewhere for the 8a start of class

saw a board asking for community input on a development, and it was fascinating to me that someone’s feedback was that there aren’t enough parking spots planned for the units. city planners have been fighting cities for years to not require parking, esp for lower income development like apartments

it’s interesting to me that with every generation, they’re ascribed attributes that are seen as avoidable and shameful personality flaws as opposed to a natural behavior of humans when given a specific set of stimuli at given developmental marks

the cold rush of realization in my preteens when I concluded that my aunts were not just roommates
happy pride to that lesbian couple everyone called “the girls” or something vague when you were a kid and it blew your mind that two girls could buy a house together to be “roommates” forever

I realized I never did an introduction when I arrived here a couple weeks ago...

I'm Kelly Brenner, a naturalist, artist, photographer and author of two nonfiction books. My first book was a finalist for two awards. I'm also working on a novel series and doing research for my next book proposal.

a pair of hands emerge from the wetlands on this day. If its a thumbs up, they will retreat to the water and spring will go on for six more weeks; if its a thumbs down, summer will arrive early.

Protect the wetlands to protect tradition

there’s a yearly spearfishing contest in the Florida Keys for invasive lionfish. They’re delicious 😁
If you're interested in a diet that includes meat but has an ethical consideration I'd suggest investigating invasivory. If you eat animals that are not native to your region, and need to be culled to protect native species, it can show "respect" to the culled animals by not letting them go to waste
