Not in my yard, English Ivy seedling!

English Ivy is on the invasive species list of Virginia. When it grows high up trees,it flowers and fruits. Birds deposit the seeds elsewhere.

We can help by cutting vines at the base of trees. Don't pull them off. It harms the trees.

In fairness, “you can make millions of individual molecules but there are 13 that you need but can’t make so let’s outsource their production to plants. Also, it’s actually 12…you can make one of the vitamins…as long as the sun’s rays touch your skin like you yourself are a plant” does sound fake.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
