Fungi to the rescue again 🍄

One way to help tackle the growing plastic pollution problem could be all around us: microscopic bacteria and fungi.

One solution to the plastic crisis may lie in bugs’ bellies

Scientists are trying to engineer plastic-eating microorganisms that could help tackle our trash problem.

Being a woman in media: 2016: Fusion acquires Gawker Media, lays off entire women’s section because they say Jezebel is enough to handle the women stuff. 2019: G/O Media buys Jezebel and other sites. They shut down Fusion website. 2023: G/O puts Jezebel up for sale. No buyer. Shuts it down.

This is abominable. Truly grieving this loss in media.

Hey there new DIAGRAM issue 23.5: thediagram.com/23_5

It's so weird to me that no-candy-for-teens is a hill people want to die on.

I was reintroduced to Laura Gilpin’s poem “Two-Headed Calf” recently and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Hi, old/new friends. A little intro of sorts: I love French fries, historical romance novels, gardening, art journaling, knitting, writing letters + anything Mary Shelley related. Here for the cute dog pics and anyone who wants to talk about books.
