I think it's really cool how I've become that one person people ask when they want to know stuff about "weird" pets or plants.

When ppl want to know how to raise ants, they come to me (even though I focus on certain mushrooms, worm behavior, and foraging).

something i've noticed. people seem to think the most nature-y nature is forests. so forests are always prioritized for conservation, and planting trees is synonymous with ecological activism. my state was largely prairies and wetlands before colonization. those ecosystems are important too. trees aren't the end-all be-all of environmentalism. plant native grasses. protect your wetlands.

If people make cutesy posts about growing food and herb spirals and composting but never talk about stuff like preventing and getting rid of rats in a garden, I get this suspision that they either haven't actually gardened much or they're more interested in presenting an aesthetically pleasing image than in actually preparing people to deal with a garden.

I'm fed up with "maybe later".
