you ever think about the gap between people who think Kiki's Delivery Service is a cute wholesome fantasy story and people who recognize Kiki's Delivery Service as a fucking harrowing depiction of the existential nightmares of a working artist

"do what you love for a living and you'll eventually have a few bad days and that'll kick you into an anxiety spiral where you're too mentally fucked up to produce good work which means your entire livelihood is at risk which makes you even more stressed out and even less able to work and this can legitimately destroy your whole life"

"How do you feel about *squints* Drax from Guardians? Does he spark fear?"

Trees. They're actually useful and not just things that stand in the way of "Progress"! Whodathunk!

(everyone that isn't a short-sighted bastard out to make a buck)

tl;dr: trees don't only take in carbon dioxide (CO₂), they also take in methane (CH₄)
_{okay technically it's the microbial critters living on/in the trees}

They are helping in trying to keep our thankless asses alive

Don’t get me started on trees. If you get me started on trees I will never stop. Just, if you want to know more look up these things:

• natural wind breakers
• coastal vegetation buffers
• soil bioremediation (phytoremediation specifically)
• restorative uses of poplar and willow trees
• effects of green space on mental health
• botanical sexism
• urban trees

There is even more but if I keep going I’ll forget to go eat. Anyway, go look at those and get mad with me. Trees are magic and the world should be filled with them.

Edit: changed soil to air in the title because I was worked up and hungry.
