Thank you, Mike. I'm a big fan of Gods, Wasps, Stranglers and have recommended and gifted the book to many people. Thank you for your generous words about The Forest Unseen.

My neighbors told me about it. Glad to see sounds getting some good attention and love the story-telling approach used. A few spots could use nuance, but that's what books are for.

What a shocking federal overreach. Glad to know that Elon is gutting these overzealous bureaucrats and making the word safe for pathogens and predators of all kinds

Why don't you call this what it is? Headline: Trump advocates ethnic cleansing of war zone, in violation of international law

I think the huge front ends are a design choice aimed at projecting aggression, not at saving gas.

As a former owner of an old F-250 I am nostalgic for trucks that are not walls

Yeah, but the front is about 5 ft tall, basically a death sentence to anything it hits. These vehicles are 8x more likely to kill with a frontal impact than are regular cars

Congrats! We are currently having a minds bent by the duet version of the Asian expansion. Never have I wanted so badly to snack on a worm immediately after swallowing a fish

Eastern woodlands of North America. They flower in July, long after the leaf has died, so there are plenty of nocturnal moths around. Owlet moths seem especially attracted to these blooms

As a youngster, this orchid survives only with the help of fungi that live on decaying wood. So, cranefly orchids are good indicator of healthy woods, places with downed dead wood. The orchid is a tombstone marker for the trees that existed decades or centuries ago.

His shameless, ostentatious corruption and endless bombastic self-promotion pretty much “embraced" core GOP values a long time ago

Thank you so much for offering these, and for opening the students' senses to their own mandala observation spots. 🌿(BTW, I'm happy to skype/zoom with classes for Q and A.)

What do the people being spoken of prefer? Presumably they have nuanced ways of describing their ways of living.

At the moment, AI is having a massive negative environmental effect. Here in Georgia, they are delaying the closure of coal fired power plants, and building new methane plants for the sole purpose of meeting the huge surge in electrical demand that is coming from the servers needed to run AI

Many of us deeply regret Kavanaugh, does that qualify us for some kind of government assistance?

What an amazing synesthetic experience. I can imagine that must be pretty interesting, but also result in some strange convergences?

As far as I know, there is none other than making sure that the first ice or snow of winter does not tear down branches. But why ginkgo should drop in such a coordinated fashion, whereas other trees do not, is unknown

Wow, what a sight. What a halo
