a Wrinkled Peach mushroom (Rhodotus palmatus), a rare and visually striking species often found growing on decaying hardwood, displays its characteristic salmon-pink to peach-colored cap, which has matured into a nearly flat shape. Beneath the cap, deep, well-defined gills radiate from a slightly off-center, pale pinkish stem. the mushroom is nestled against a moss-covered, textured log, with smaller, brownish fungi at its base.

She warned the world before it was ready to listen.

Rachel Carson exposed the dangers of pesticides and helped launch the modern environmental movement.

Exactly. Much like Scomo and Dutton!

the Earth is magnificent but is stepping up its efforts to eradicate humans off the face of itself and that is glorious because we suck 🌳

This is hideous, not only that Israel is invading yet another sovereign nation, but also in the refusal of our, & other governments, to even acknowledge, let alone speak out against, the appalling crime being enacted against (this time) Lebanese people.

In Greek mythology, the golden fruit of the goddess Hera grows in the Garden of the Hesperides. Though this fruit is usually envisioned as apples, some people have theorized they're actually oranges. Thus, the Greek botanical name for all citrus is "hesperidoeidē."

We can’t afford to build AI data centres - economically or financially

We can’t keep destroying the planet emitting greenhouse gases from gas and oil powered industry and using up precious water

because oligarchs want to replace human workers with code and robots
