Une vie discrète et foisonnante s'épanouit sur l'écorce des branches : lichens et mousses épiphytes tissent des motifs argentés et verdoyants sur le bois.

Alder, Alnus glutinosa,
in Alder Carr is often not great for lichens, but on these Alders, along the west River Rother in West Sussex, they are covered in lichens. The reason: light; wayside trees get lots of light, Carr woodland is often shaded. Ramalina farinacea & Evernia prunastri #lichenBBI

I, too, can walk and chew gum. In this case it means emailing my rep (the awesome @ramirez.house.gov), senator, and senator-elect about #TransRights and writing my #PlantAwareness column about lichens too.
I don't know if info@julianastratton.com goes to @julianastratton.bsky.social but I just wrote to her too. Accountability and consequences are not revenge!
Writing a "we gave you a mandate and we demand accountability" email to my senator today. Illinois, here you go. www.duckworth.senate.gov/connect/comm...

It's All Souls Day.
Do lichens have 'souls'?
Why not?
They must be hybrid algal_x_fungal ones, presided over by particular faeries who react to UV light.
