You know that feeling where you have ideas. So many ideas. Too many ideas. And they all would take way too much time that you don't have if you actually wanted to execute them. So you just sit there giving yourself a headache because you cant decide where to start? Love that feeling. And by love, I mean I want to take my brain out of my skull and wring it like a wet sponge.

#and so i sit here making myself mad. today the plant ppl have my ire #which isnt fair bc plants r unappreciated but also like ur study organism couldnt exist as it is without fungi and bacteria. which are WAY #more underappreciated. which isnt the plant ppls fault but also i watched like 10 plant photosynthesis videos yesterday #and not a single one mentioned that plants do photosynthesis bc they consumed a cyanobacteria. they always go: and some bacteria can also do #photosynthesis! and thats it. and im like ??? endosymbiosis is so cool? y would u not mention it??? like plants didnt develop a way to do #photosynthesis. they just captured a photosynthetic organism. the plant bias in photosynthesis is so huge and it makes me irrationally #defensive. its like theyre stealing photosynthesis glory XD they've got photosynthesis clout but only bc they stole it lmao #idk its funny that it makes me so frustrated but it's sorta baffling to me how plant focused plant ppl r when plants rely so much on #bacteria and fungi. i mean i guess thr same could b said for animals. especially those with robust endosymbionts. idk i guess its just bc im #and ecologist and microbe person im baffled when ppl think about organism as one thing rather than a system of things #anyway. im mad bc i have things that i want to write and read and draw plus the things i have to do for school. and im doing none of #those things and its bullshit #unrelated
