Today I was reading a title story about an owl. About an Ukrainian owl. And my first thought was: Oh my, another one of these “cute animal stuff” reports. But it was much more, it was a story about humans who choose being humane. https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/de2f7ea3-34c2-4f83-9889-f624f5a04d60

I’ve been reading stuff about the genuine #reality, stuff that sounds like The Onion on crack or a supervillain jumping straight out of a completely absurd script. Should I focus on real, dry reality, and how it would look like? Like a sugar-coated muffin or a musty, unironed shirt with tomato sauce stains?
Let me take you on a reality travel https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/e8a0beae-5d7c-49a4-a3ce-66f732419a3c

I never thought anyone still bought zines these days! But hey, I’ve got my first customers. 🥰 That’s motivating me to come up with a few more, hopefully when things calm down a bit. What would you like to see:

My first mini zine after decades: https://ko-fi.com/s/700d3d3138

Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir: "ces deux espèces ont poussé la gestion des #déchets encore plus loin, en développant un système étonnamment sophistiqué… de véritables "toilettes" ! Ces #chenilles maintiennent en permanence un étroit conduit reliant l’intérieur de la #galle à l’extérieur, par lequel elles évacuent régulièrement leurs excréments. Après chaque utilisation, ce conduit est obstrué à l’aide d’un opercule de soie." https://www.mnhn.fr/fr/actualites/des-chenilles-qui-vont-aux-toilettes

I just saw the first bumble bee! Tiny insects are flying again. This is the time to come out of my hibernation modus and write more about #nature. I talk about #snails, and as they are still in their protection places, reflect on Homo-not-so-sapiens: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233

I raged against the machine. And every time, I am surprised anew at how creative anger makes me. 😈 I even write faster. 🤭 See my new article "Snails Or Slop Slime" https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233
Provoked by a fake page for #naturelovers on a big platform.
