I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."
I will try to make a more detailed post in a bit but the organization Anera has announced they have resumed aid delivery to north Gaza. Please consider donating to them, they have worked on the ground in Gaza for decades and they provide emergency aid as well as have many wonderful long-term programs.
Happy new year to all of you wonderful people who follow me!!
I hope that 2024 brings you clarity, times of contemplation, and situations where you can persevere and spread your wings, showing what you are truly capable of.
Oscar and I spent new years with the boys at the firehouse, it was really cute with the makeshift decorations hanging from the walls.
Anyways, I think the two of us need some well earned rest.
