Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature

17 hours ago

We protect 100-year-old buildings as historic treasures, then cut down 500-year-old trees for furniture. That's insane. An old-growth tree isn't just some big tree. It is a living carbon bank, seed source, cooling system, water filter, fungal network, bird nursery, insect factory, and archive of centuries of weather, fire, drought, and survival. The older it gets, the more jobs it does. Big old trees store enormous amounts of carbon, and research has found they can keep adding carbon faster as they grow larger. Some ancient trees add more carbon in a single year than an entire mid-sized tree contains. They also make habitat younger trees can't cough up. Cavities for owls and bats. Broken limbs for nesting birds. Dead wood for beetles and fungi. Mossy bark for lichens and invertebrates. Cool, damp microclimates for salamanders and seedlings. Fallen logs that feed the soil for decades. A thousand-year-old tree is not 'renewable' in any meaningful human timeframe. Cut it down for furniture, flooring, paper, or profit, and the ecosystem it carried does not come back when someone plants a replacement seedling. We already protect old churches, courthouses, barns, bridges, and battlefields because they connect us to the past. Old-growth trees do that too.

Guinness World Records @GWR

a day ago

An adorable 10-month-old kitten named Toby Henderson (USA) has tied a longstanding Guinness World Records title for the most toes on a cat - 28! Toby, who belongs to Delaney Henderson, recently found his forever home in Lansing, Michigan. He lives alongside his loving parents and sister Connie, another polydactyl cat who has two extra toes on her front paws. “When I first saw his toes, I really couldn't believe what I was seeing!” Delaney said to GWR. “Having another polydactyl cat, I was expecting the extra ‘thumbs,’ but nothing could've prepared me to see Toby's paws.” And although his 28 toes were such a unique feature, she truly fell in love with his sweet face and talkative nature, remarking that: “I had a gut feeling when I met him that he was meant to be in my life, and I am so grateful to have given him a forever home.”

@MirbeauInnSpa Just when I thought my stay couldn't get any better, 8 ducklings hatched! Truly a fairytale paradise and the reason I come back each year.

“Middling”?? With all due respect @TheAthletic if the King wanted to become a dictionary editor, he’d be amazing. Would probably be the 2nd-best ever, behind Jordan. (Phyllis Jordan was a lexicographer from Agawam, MA, and worked on the 9th Collegiate…she was incredible).

Just sharing my calendar again. I know it’s early, but as I’ve had to shell out a massive amount to pay for them, I need to try & claw that outlay back asap or I then won’t be able to afford to get prints or cards made etc. Massive thanks to all those who’ve already purchased. X

Morning all. Woke early, laid in bed, wracking my brain of how I can get my art seen by more people as my business is hanging by a thread. Interaction and reach is a now tiny amount of what it was. I’m trying to post more video clips, but nothing seems to help. It’s stressful.🤬

People who don't have cats always say “Oh, but they are so independent & aloof." Then why is my cat trying to break down my bathroom door when I’m taking a shower?
