@mariapopova Anyway, alongside with wonderful #Mosstodon and #Mousetodon, let's do #Grasstodon! I would love to see lots of different blades of grass from all over the world, just like those wonderful moss pictures. When you are feeling a little wobbly: I find just remembering that #Mousetodon exists really cheers me up 😊

Is #Grasstodon already a thing? After reading this great piece by @mariapopova about Michael Marder's "The Philososopher's Plant", I am sure you will all agree that it should be. As Leipniz postulated and as then investigated on a Hanover lawn in 1685, no two blades of grass are ever the same. Marder takes this further:

“The world… flourishes only in and as the variance among the beings that comprise it. Difference is at the origin of the world: it ‘worlds.’”

If #grasstodon doesn't already exist, it should. These are some nifty grass seed heads.

@hollie #grasstodon?! I didn't even know that was a thing. I guess it is now, would love to learn more about native grasses. Here's one from the field near our house

Things I never thought I’d fixate on: grasses. Why lichen and moss is unsurprising but grass is a shocker, I dunno, but photos of grasses are just transfixing. We have #lichensubscribe and #mosstodon, we need….

#grasstodon? Oh that could go sideways….

A superb #podcast episode on the evolutionary history of #grasses and #grasslands, as well as the current issues surrounding grasses in the light of #ClimateChange and human activity.

Learned a lot about C-Four grasses versus C-Three grasses, the tree planting frenzy, and how it's destroying old-growth grasslands and what we can do about it.

#Grasstodon, I guess?
