Listen, when I joined Bluesky over a year ago, the first feed I set up was for moss. Stay small and soft!

(Also how many comments have contained something about likin’ lichen? Bc lichen rules. Thanks for uplifting growth in the face of a barren hellscape.)

A bravura piece, and timely

Yes yes, but is there a sandwich tie-in?

This is an outstanding essay. I am deeply thankful. Please do not lay down the burden.

As a person who isn’t easily inspired, this is the first spark of hope I’ve felt in a long time

This is beautiful. It also may be connected to Deleuze & Guattari’s and later Hart and Negri’s concept of resistance to forces of Empire as a rhizome: multitude of hubs connected through many lines of communication & meaning. Gorgeous.

I’m going to print this out and laminate it so I can read it whenever I need to. Thank you, Talia.

A unique look at our upcoming days; I felt a real sense that we can survive. However, we must spread the roots and hold on dearly. Thank you for creating a world of possibilities to take root.

Thanks for an awesome bit of writing. I do hope we can channel our energies into an organism that thrives in beauty in the harsh conditions to come.

This is beautiful and I'm sharing it everywhere I can (along with more exhortations to buy "Wild Faith"!). I desperately needed something other than just screaming into the void, or banal rah-rah "RESIST!" cheerleading.
