Theory Of Flight, Edouard Taufenbach & Bastien Pourtout

a realisation I had today: making elaborate plans to get your shit together and thinking how much you need to do it is really not as effective as getting up and doing a piece of homework

Aspicilia filiformis

God I love that the description I found for this lichen as “creeping.” Creeping suggests movement–and considering how sloowwwly lichens grow, it might just be the slowest creep ever. A. filiformis grows in terete, filiform lobes in tangled mats on detritus, soil, and old grass mounds. The surface is brown, gray-green or olivaceous, turning black toward the forked lobe tips (described as looking like little snake tongues which is so precious). Apothecia are rare and small, with a flat or slightly sunken dark reddish-brown or black disc. So far, this creepy, snakey pal has only been found in shrub-steppe and grassland habitats in the western U.S. One of my favorite ecosystems! Unassuming but teaming with a wealth of highly adapted life forms! Like A. filiformis, who I have probably seen before and just assumed they were a dead tumbleweed or something. Oops, sorry pal.

It took me a very long time to realize that I had been in a state of mourning after my friend and I stopped talking to each other. This beautiful and heartbreaking essay on the art of loving and losing female friends was a much-needed meditation, and I wanted to share it with you, too.
