‘My ideas are a little revolutionary’: ecologist Suzanne Simard on intelligent forests, the climate and her critics

Her research popularised the idea of the wood wide web, but the scientific backlash was brutal. As the author of The Mother Tree returns to the forest in a new book, she discusses her battle to reimagine our relationship with nature

Please don't boost #aislop !

This slop graphic went #viral in my timeline on Mastodon. Commentators found the source in a FB slop page, and biologists in the comments tell the facts. Nevertheless, people burst into enthusiasm, so little do they know about nature. #AISlop sites on big platforms gather about 250k followers.

I did a fact-check about real snails.

I just searched something for art rupestre and ancient rock carvings when I accidentally found this great #animation #film: "This is the time of day when the #mimis come out of their underworld to prepare the land for the next day. The boy follows the mimi spirits and is missed by the rest of the camp.The story is owned by the Dhuwa moiety at Wugularr (Beswick) Community. https://www.abc.net.au/education/dust-echoes-ep-12-the-mimis/13496492

@nat This! And I would like to add #nature (you can experience it also in cities). #ReconnectWithNature and we can see the new beginnings, #beauty and survival, #symbiosis of the diverse, #connection, social behaviour, the stability of grass or a rock, the #joy of living of animal babies. Nature can shift our perspective, we are part of it. It helps to identify the death cults ... and can heal us, when we need calm moments.

@johnadams Ah, I found the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishmael_(Quinn_novel) and even a website about Quinn's work: https://www.ishmael.org/books/the-book/

Sounds very interesting and reminds me of David Abram's philosophy in his books "Becoming Animal" and "The Spell Of The Sensous. https://emergencemagazine.org/conversation/the-ecology-of-perception/

🧵 our bodymates as equals? Without them we would die.

And if our skin can be seen as a #planet for tiny aliens, you can try a #space flight in your #garden. I made this expedition: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/d242349d-fa59-4af8-a834-c93d580a4039

🧵 After 40 years, I'm back in #zines. The prototype was made for testing and giving me ideas how I could colour my little #alien, I'm now drawing the final version. I haven't quite decided yet what materials I'll use to colour it in: felt-tip pens or watercolours.
Yes, one day you can download it. It takes time, it's my first one after so much time and Im quite rusty. 😁
