Calicium salicinum
So we recently went on a lichen collecting trip and got some pin lichens! These little teeny-tiny guys are so hard to spot, but we found some growing on dead wood and logs used for building, and were able to gather some bits of wood that had peeled off with age. So I sat down to ID them and after nearly 2 hours, all I knew was that there were at least 2 genera of pin lichens on just one small piece of bark . . . *sigh* I love you lichens, but sometimes you exhaust me. C. salicinum can be identified by its immersed, inapparent thallus, brown pruina on the bottom of the stalked apothecial exciples, and its spores with spiral ornamentation. And I *think* it is one of the species we collected. Further testing needed. It can be found growing on deciduous trees and lignum in the montane belt to subtropics of Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

putting pineapple on pizza right below free Palestine on your intro post trivializes the subject and infers that pizza toppings are as important as genocide 
Can you go be a tar pit somewhere else

I’m happy that Chris got rid of his social media, cause some of y’all are fucking miserable and terrible. “He’s been scarce on social media lately” and it’s not hard to see why. People are meddling around in personal life, and it’s no one’s business. You bully his girlfriend/fiancé/wife/whoever, you make mean jokes about him, you harass his family and friends, and just go out of your way to be horrible. Not to mention, people crawl into the tags just to ruin things for everyone else that is a fan. Even now, in the CE tag, people are like, “why is he announcing it? So people will talk about it?”
IF YOU DON’T CARE, WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT!? MOVE ON AND GO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING YOU GIVE A FUCK ABOUT!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, people think that because it’s the internet they can just say whatever, and that it’s fine. It’s not. It’s not just Chris y’all do it to. You did it to Sebastian Stan, Taylor Swift (I don’t even like her), Henry Cavill, and you’re doing it to Pedro Pascal (God help him if he does something y’all don’t like). You put people on these impossible pedestals, and then rake them through the coals when they do something you don’t like. Celebrities are not here to serve you. They’re people just like you. It’s already annoying when friends/family/co-workers try and tell you how to live your life. Now imagine if you had over 10 million people trying to give their input about shit they don’t know anything about.
Instead of bullying celebrities into living a life YOU think is right, focus on your own shit. Read a book, go outside, fucking take a nap, donate to a charity, help at soup kitchen, GET A JOB, focus on ACTUAL IMPORTANT ISSUES, the list goes on. Yes, I hope he comes back, but I’m happy he took a step away cause this shit is getting way too outta hand.
And don’t hit my fucking inbox with “well Alba said this” and “Alba’s friends said that”, cause I’m tired of it. Y’all didn’t like her from day 1, before y’all did a deep dive into her life. I’ve heard so many arguments about someone that NO ONE knows, and I’m just tired of it. Y’all hate every woman that man is with because it’s not you, and sweetheart, go get into your own relationship. I promise you it’s so much better. I just married my best friend, and it’s the best decision I ever made. I also don’t care about the age gap, so don’t come into my comments with that bullshit either. My husband is 8 years older than me, and he’s the youngest older man I’ve been with.
Thank you and be blessed 💋

People who blame kids not going outside anymore on technology will never cease to make me laugh.
First of all, the outdoors today compared to what it was even just as little as 10 years ago? Dangerous, disgusting, undesirable, quite frankly terrifying.
Second, if your next argument is going to be “but they won’t even go in the back yard!” I grew up with access to technology. I still played in the backyard all summer and got excited to go sledding on snow days in the winter. Maybe you should rethink your parenting, and how you treat technology with your kids. If you’re shoving an iPad in your kids face every time they cry… Guess what? That child is going to associate that iPad with comfort. They are not going to want to be separated from it. It’s the exact same as a child with a special stuffy they won’t let go of. That item has been attached to the idea of comfort and safety. You did that by not giving them screen time limits, and not parenting properly.
Technology can only be the cause of children not going outside if you let it be. It is 100% caused by your parenting choices.

Now, as I expected, there are conspiracy theories about Tim’s black eye being posted on Twitter. I often wonder if these people are pretending to be really stupid, or if it’s not an act. Either way, I still can’t determine which option is worse.
