    This reminds me of the time I went camping with my cousin, we picked a campsite that is about halfway for both of us and when we get there and setup this blue jay comes flying by and lands on our table and my cousin and his wife are going crazy, they do bird watching as a hobby and were stoked to see the blue jay.

    I felt so odd because we have so many at our place to the point they lay eggs in our bushes and they wake us up with their calls and it's weird to think that only a few hours away from the campsite where my cousin lives they don't have any

    getting into plants was like this for me but only in natural areas because the vast majority of human placed plants in my area are non-native. like just living here is not enough, they need to do settler-colonialism with the plants too.

      100%. Also, this is a completely different statement thanks to the “l” left out of “plants”.

      It’s crazy how many invasive species are popular in urban areas.

    So all I have to do to appreciate the things around me is become a world renowned expert in something super specific.

    Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool. No problem.

    The flesh-eating bacterium that's infected your pancreas is a truly remarkable specimen, but you're too much like "oh GOD, my INSIDES!" to appreciate it.

    I'm this with urban planning and let me tell you folks, that one's not endearing to other people
