Such a great song. When I was a kid I thought this was about the fall of the Berlin wall and all the German teenagers finally meeting - I thought he was singing "Eastern boys and Western girls" - I didn't know anything about London haha. And clearly never read the title🙄

(I'm totally a weirdo, what am I saying, what a weird qualifier. Also my art projects are lichen mushrooms and seaweeds, so this is pretty in character. Oh - also amorphous attempts at crochet that go wrong when I get confused translating the righthanded instructions to lefthanded halfway through🙄.)

Not to be a weirdo, but I love this book so much I made salt and pepper shakers based on two mushrooms it helped me identify, Mycena aurantiidisca (yes I should have made the stem white) and Mycena amicta (which may not have been a conclusive ID but it sure seemed right)🐌

I wonder if the snails of South America are made nervous by wry smiles? 😏 Their little eyes bulging out, nervously...

Or for anyone on fixed income/minimus wage! So stupid, it's gonna cost so much more for those that get hospitalized without a vaccine.

Terrible. And so punitive for the most vulnerable. If the whole province strikes at this accumulation of wrongs being thrown at you, I'll be cheering you on!

That sucks so much! How much are they charging? (I'm in BC, got mine last week, no charge, though I am paying for two other vaccines this month).

Sideview. The buds are really pretty, they have little pointy bumps that form a circle when closed, like a mini crown; you can see them on the outside of the petals.

I read about this first thing this morning, I was so furious I wanted to throw up. That they are shipping the Skeena's beautiful old growth forest to be burned in UK power plants as a subsidized "green fuel" is disgusting and absurd.

Hang in there, branch! In fact, this photo would make a pretty fun actual curtain haha, especially if you whipped it open and it was spring outside.
