She/they. Minnesota, United States. Critter, scurrying around St. Paul most of the time. Gardener, angler, forager, writer. Trying to leave places better than I found them.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

We now have rigorous pooled data showing that even without active restoration efforts, cleared rainforest can rebound to 75% of their former species composition and 90% of species diversity within just thirty years. #goodnews

The thing is, I enjoy fall in isolation but also I live in Minnesota and I know winter will be miserable and could begin tomorrow, so every day of wearing a light jacket and eating an apple cider donut comes with an edge of absolute dread. More than any other time of year, autumn is Anxiety Season.

You, a fall person: Ohmygosh I love fall!! Pumpkins! Cozy sweaters! Hot tea and cider! Pumpkins! Pumpkin Spice Lattes! The changing colors of leaves!!!! Me, a spring and summer person: :: pulls hoddie tight over head :: beware: the time of darkness, cold, decay, and death is nigh

Every. Single. Problem. In this entire story can be easily remedied by one simple solution, which is don’t fucking let your cat wander around outside completely unsupervised! You can’t be outraged and furious about what your cat gets up to when you don’t even know where it is!

Has your cat been gaining weight and staying out at night, only to arrive home reeking of marijuana? These are just some of the signs that a neighbour is trying to entice them away ...

seeing this spread by well-meaning accounts. but I don't think this is actually happening and it also strikes me as extremely dangerous both for legal exposure (imitating officers is a fairly serious crime) and for physical safety.

😍 “Small kids passed through to say funny names out loud, sniff… or point out something they recognized from their yards. Simply seeing each plant showcased on its own highlighted beauties that are easy to miss… Each one granted a little dignity, treated as worthy to be displayed, named, admired.”

NEW in Porch Party: What is the opposite of enshittification? It's this exhibit of constantly renewed, individually labeled fresh wildflowers, meticulously run by volunteers at a small museum for more than a century www.porchpartynews.com/p/the-wildfl...

It’s still crazy to me that the first thing I was greeted with after stepping off the bus by the old family farm was a hill covered in bilberries, raspberries and lingonberries. Like visiting a grandma you haven’t seen in ages and the first thing she wants to do is feed you.
