inHit 500 native plant species on my list last spring, and now I think the number is overrated
Man, I felt this in my bones. Hit my own 500 mark a few years back and it took a while to realize the list was kinda lying to me. The common stuff like plantain and foxtail grass are the ones holding the soil together and feeding the bugs, while the rare orchids are just pretty faces that barely show up. I started doing these quick roadside surveys instead, just counting what's actually thriving in the ditches and abandoned lots, and honestly it's way more useful for understanding the land. Plus you can ID a hundred common plants in an afternoon without the whole hiking expedition thing.

in100k photo views from one boring moon shot, still weird to me
Moon shots are a dime a dozen honestly, every phone can grab one now. Jupiter actually takes skill and timing, that's the one people should be upvoting. The algorithm just loves that big bright circle, it's the most boring possible target out there.

inThe open house where a raccoon stole the staging fruit
Bet that raccoon had a better instinct for the staging than whoever picked those lemons, they probably added way more charm than the fruit ever did. Honestly that story alone might be worth more to the buyers than any upgrade you could've made.
