In nature, regeneration is driven by pleasure: soil softens, roots collaborate, fungi share what they gather, & every living thing grows toward what feels good.
Joy is a strategy of survival, a technology of imagination & the emotional architecture of future worlds.

Thoughts for autumn hearts & returning souls

Because I carry my friends , family & teachers in my heart — even if life has pulled us in different directions

We are made of the people we’ve loved
The ones who stayed
The ones who couldn’t

Still— we grow

Euler’s identity: e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0
It is often called the most beautiful equation in mathematics.

All in a single stroke, like nature revealing her secret symmetry. It’s as if mathematics whispers: “life, death, infinity, & unity — they are one & the same.”

Mushrooms are the future

What if the best way to care for soil… is to stop breaking it? Beneath our feet lives an invisible web mycelium — that feeds, connects, & heals. Every time we turn the soil, we sever those living threads.
No-Dig method is gardening that feels less like a fight & more like a partnership with nature.

🍄✨ Excited to be joining All Things Fungi Festival again this year!

On Friday 12 September, 3:30–4:30pm, I’ll be sharing stories about the Grow Urban Festival — our living, mycelial network of people, places, and possibilities. 🌱

Let’s grow together. 💚

In the cracks of a crumbling system, new roots are already reaching.

The hands still speak it — in soil, in steam, in harvest.

Telling women to modify their behavior to avoid being victims of violent crime ignores the actual issue of predators being predatory. Predators like a challenge and still telling victims they are responsible absolves the predator completely.

Rooted in mycelial systems thinking and community care.

My story isn’t just mine.
It runs through other women — those who fed me, left me, shaped me, and waited for me to return.
✨
I come from soil, from ceremony, from silence and survival.
🌍
Some things weren’t spoken.
But they were planted.
💜
And now I grow — for them, through them, with them.

On creativity, culture, and the spiritual symbolism of fungi.

Growing food isn’t a luxury — it’s a birthright in this city of concrete and care.

A holistic reimagining of how and why we grow.

A mindset shift from control to connection, inspired by fungi.

To grow food in a broken system is to quietly build a new one beneath it.

A reminder of humility, possibility, and rooted action.

Our deep connection between environmental and personal wellbeing.

“You are not here to bounce back. You are here to become the ground everything grows from.”

“Even the flawed fruit feeds the earth. Your story is sacred—just as it is.”

As AI reshapes our world, it’s worth asking: are we growing more intelligent, or just more efficient? Fungi remind us intelligence is also slow, collective, sensory, and rooted in care.

“Even the flawed fruit feeds the earth. Your story is sacred—just as it is.”

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Unity in Diversity 🌍
“In light of recent global events, let’s remember that our strength lies in our diversity. Just as a forest thrives with various species, humanity flourishes when we celebrate our differences.”

🍄🏙️ @polytilly.bsky.social & Sal Chebbah (@1001shrooms.bsky.social) also led a hugely popular Food Potential of Cities session!

🌱 From urban agriculture to growing mushrooms, attendees were eager to dig in - each workshop was oversubscribed!

Inspiring to see such enthusiasm for sustainable food! 🍽️
