@Trey_Explainer I read an article a few years ago stating that kudzu only does well in disturbed areas and don't do well in shade. Much like many invasives they need our help to thrive. Tried to find it again and only turned up this but its worth noting! smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

@valentino_lasso Gives me Wormhandler/Forest People vibes from Nausicaa. Gorgeous work!!

@BrianEngh_Art It all comes full circle, the reason I found your stuff over a decade ago was a really neat moss video you made. Love your stuff Brian <3

@jontylowstar @DiceyJune In conservation biology we are aware of this and use it to our advantage. Promote the "charismatic keystone" species to protect large swathes of land/water which in turn protects everything in its range (plants, invertebrates, whole habitats!) Then instill respect for ALL life.

@DiceyJune I remember reading that there is a disproportionate amount of fund raising to help the endangered cute animals. Pandas/leopards/tigers. People wouldn't donate if the good old blob fish was the face of the appeal As

@ATinyGreenCell @AlHendiify Wastewater treatment standards are extremely high for the NYC watershed which has helped a lot. Because NYC needs to use what surface water they have for drinking water purposes they help pay for wastewater treatment to be really high quality. hudsonvalleyregionalcouncil.org/wp-content/upl…

@AlHendiify Not sure how, but Vinny from the NYC water authority managed to get the East and Hudson the cleanest its been in decades. We got cold coral growing again!!! Sponges returning too. Big fat red ones. Nature is healing via la cosa nostra????

Folks in here tweeting "the way the world is goin we're gonna have to learn skills like this" when the majority of rivers the majority of us have access to (and counting) are straight-up poisonous water sources

@CorgisFairy was that shipped to you in a box?? The packers were gods lol

My son and this beautiful wall scroll are finally home :'D

I think the "is AI art really art?" question is a lot less important than the "is AI art based on stolen work ethical?"

#Invertober2022 beyer's scarab beetle many thanks to @fossilforager for the prompts! 💚

@dqnxel @BBookwyrm @SamuelSaulsbury Dude, that frog illustration by Mike Mignolia is one of my all time favorites, I want a tattoo of it and already have it on a shirt. Also, I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. cheers from a rando on the internet ✌️

The guy with the worst grades should get to give a graduation speech too. Let me hear both sides

@BrianEngh_Art dudes, my discord profile pic has always been a cassowary because why would I not.

@LowRentLefty @_saintdrew He builds community with people worldwide and when he helps with the heavy-duty shit he's not self-righteous about it, in fact he's usually fumbling his way through. Always takes the time to get to know people along the way, love him so much <3

@_saintdrew Hellboy. Hates nazis, wants to just vibe. Simple as.

who is your favourite superhero and why is it spider-man?

@j_quadrifrons This is also how I feel about oil fracking, I'm tight with lots of geologists and engineers who insist its safe, but we as a society have proven over and over again that we will absolutely cut corners for a profit which leads to catastrophic mistakes.

I’m digging holes and feeling a bit hopeless today. Drop some good conservation news in the replies for my eyes

with gas prices so high right now, this would be a great time for the Left to talk about how auto dependency puts the working class in inescapable debt traps in return for one of the most basic human rights: mobility

@cvillegas16 @KendraWrites @SharonZJewelry Hurricanes and tornadoes are also liable to be more frequent in our changing climate, and in places where they used to be "rare". Flooding after fire events effect people far away from them as well (no vegetation=more mud slides). Everybody be safe!

@ThePurpleDrazi @chlmtsuccession @nocontextdune You are describing the 1st definition here. See that second, highlighted, part. Villains don't necessarily need nefarious intentions. In fact some of the best ones don't.

@chlmtsuccession @nocontextdune He did these things because he was evil or enjoyed doing them. It always felt like he was stuck playing a part he did not really want, but couldn't see how to get out of. Maybe he was wrong. Certainly he caused great harm. But out and out Villainy? I don't know (4)

@ccjellis @DragonsofWales Absolutely gorgeous work, thanks for sharing your labors ❤️

@keshawnrants your bio just made me go moisturize, ty 🥲

@Circ_Nation Ooooof, just no 😫
