1, 26, and 36! dopamine is fun!

what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

God, how do you even condense the breadth of who you are into three things? I'll try anyway.

The first: I remember being in second grade and there was this older kid who fell during recess, and started bleeding from his knee. I ran to him—he was older, fifth grade probably, but every other kid was just crowding around him, so I told them to give him space and for someone to get a washcloth with water, and to get the school nurse.

The second: the day I got rejected from my dream medical school, because that started the chain reaction of me getting into the school that was meant for me, best suited for me.

The third: The generosity of my friends. I'm an only child, and friendships in adulthood are harder to maintain than they were when we're young, but I am shaped, daily, constantly by the kindness and generosity of people I've gotten to know, and fallen in love with.

fave colour and why?

It's teal! I love how it's a calm color, fun still but sophisticated.

are you an open book or do you have walls up?

I really am very often an open book—with people who aren't my mom. I spend so much time with my walls up with her that I end up overcompensating by Lmao giving long answers to questions like these. 😂🩷

Thank you for the dopamine hit, Leafy! ♡

can you talk about moss poaching i'm actually really curious

How can I refuse! Absolutely!!! It sounds kind of ridiculous, but it's actually very sad.

So, let's start off with some numbers. Every year, the moss black market is estimated to garner up to $165 million for trafficking approximately 82 million pounds of moss.

I cannot even wrap my mind around how much moss that is.

You might ask, why does moss poaching exist and why is it so lucrative? Well, the quality that has made mosses the prey of an illegal trade is simply their aesthetic appeal. Soft, velvety, and moist, mosses are extremely pleasant to the touch and calming to look at. Some people are willing to pay large amounts of money to collect them and put them in private gardens. However, most of the mosses that move in this underground black market are actually sold to companies/wholesalers for use in potting/gardening soil, plant nurseries, decor, and as craft materials. The majority of the preserved mosses in your run-of-the-mill chain craft store, planters, floral wreaths, or very-much-dead living wall decorations are gathered illegally, bleached to death, and then dyed green. This goes for a lot of prepackaged peat moss and soil mix blends as well.

Even though it is illegal to gather moss in public places (in the US, at least), people still harvest it. Why? Probably because there's a fair amount of money to be made and the consequences are very rarely enforced, and when they are, they are quite light--usually a $50 fine at worst if you're caught. Most of this black market moss is actually poached from the national park system, with Appalachia and the Pacific Northwest usually being the hardest hit regions.

Mosses play vital roles in many ecosystems, provide homes for threatened species, regulate water distribution in forests, and help with erosion, so their loss is a terrible blow. Additionally, moving such large quantities of mosses from one location to another may spread unwanted, invasive hitchhikers, like insects that lay their eggs in the plants, or even seeds and spores.

I'll end on this thought:

It can take 20 years for a small patch of moss removed from a fallen tree to grow back with the right moisture conditions.

How long would it take to regrow 82 million pounds?
