I finally remembered to take a #Mosstodon picture! I'd love to know more about why it grows those tall reddish bits. I've listened to the audiobook of Gathering Moss several times, and I've spent a lot of time looking at moss, but I never know if I'm connecting the right audiobook stories to the right IRL moss phenomena.
This was shot at the edge of a tiny pond we dug in the woods and lined with a tarp protected by old carpets. It doesn't get enough water to stay full, but it sure grows moss!
#ifihadabilliondollars as a small town community organizer...
Step 1: Buy every neglected building and parcel of land in town and put it in a community land trust.
Step 2: Set up a local job guarantee program that trained people up in construction, open source tech, and/or #permaculture and then paid them to use those skills to benefit the community.
Step 3: See if we can get ourselves to Psalm for the Wild-Built before the rest of the world drags us into Parable of the Sower.
