[āThe ability of plants and mycorrhizal fungi to reshape their relationships has profound implications. We are familiar with the story: Throughout human history, partnerships with other organisms have extended the reach of both humans and nonhumans. Human relationships with corn brought about new forms of civilization. Relationships with horses allowed new forms of transport. Relationships with yeast permitted new forms of alcohol production and distribution. In each case, humans and their nonhuman partners redefined their possibilities.
Horses and humans remain separate organisms, as do plants and mycorrhizal fungi, but both are echoes of an ancient tendency for organisms to associate. The anthropologists Natasha Myers and Carla Hustak argue that the word evolution, which literally means ārolling outward,ā doesnāt capture the readiness of organisms to involve themselves in one anotherās lives. Myers and Hustak suggest that the word involutionāfrom the word involveābetter describes this tendency: a ārolling, curling, turning inward.ā In their view, the concept of involution better captures the entangled pushing and pulling of āorganisms constantly inventing new ways to live with and alongside one another.ā
It was their tendency to involve themselves in the lives of others that enabled plants to borrow a root system for fifty million years while they evolved their own. Today, even with their own root systems, almost all plants still depend on mycorrhizal fungi to manage their underground lives. Their involutionary tendencies enabled fungi to borrow a photosynthesizing alga to handle their atmospheric affairs. They still do. Mycorrhizal fungi are not built into plant seeds. Plants and fungi must constantly form and re-form their relationships. Involution is ongoing and extravagant: By associating with one another, all participants wander outside and beyond their prior limits.ā]

gender reveal party except the gender reveal is just the mother giving birth
man i want to worldbuildd soooo baddd..... no creativity.....
saw an article about how the water crisis in catalonia is causing problems for british travelers' annual spain holidays by 'forcing pool closures' and just the fact that water crises are positioned as annoying inconveniences for wealthy people on vacation rather than a very real problem for The People Who Live There Always is such a perfect example of how classism is applied on a global/international scale. i couldn't give less of a fuck about a brit's spain holiday being ruined, tell me how the water crisis is causing problems for locals and how tourism is exacerbating the issue.

the worst is wanting to create until nothing is left to create and the universe bursts with an overworked sigh and pretend to pretend to re-crown the creation and sing the same things 'till the clouds start to cry and over and over again and then over and over and never again
the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired
