Came here to mention the 12 days of Christmas, but for some reason I thought they started on Jan 1. Or the day after Boxing Day, or something.

Abu’s expression of perplexed incredulity is pretty much exactly the expression I’m wearing right now.

For a second I thought you were talking about that big orange pustule, but it’s too large to make it up a tree.

That’s okay, the piles of red, round spores at the base of those green trees will soon burst and spread up those branches until everything is a nice, uniform, drippy red again.

That is a FANTASTIC article. Thank you so much for sharing, she’s absolutely on point with all of it.
