much to Yahoo's chagrin, Firefox is actually the new pdf
this is a big deal since adobe recently locked editing PDFs behind a paywall :’)
the thing i think no one tells these new kids about making their own website is that its 1. fun if you're a puzzle freak bc its basically making problems for yourself to solve lol 2. mostly just copy and pasting other people's CSS or css from w3cschools
so theres no like, innate skill level you need in order to make a website. just the time and desire to keep hitting "preview page" and then staring at the page trying to figure out which piece of code broke what
Do this enough and random family friends and acquaintances will start asking you to make websites for them for a little bit of money and suddenly you're a part time web developer
oh…

1. Screenshot of an article titled, ‘When You Give a Tree an Email Address.’ The subtitle reads, ‘The city of Melbourne assigned trees email addresses so citizens could report problems. Instead, people wrote thousands of love letters to their favorite trees.’ A photo above the headline shows a path lined by tall trees whose branches overlap so that the sky is barely visible. The article is by Adrienne Lafrance and was posted on 10 July 2015.
2. Text that says: Then the emails began to arrive. Milman writes that instead of damage reports, people began to write fan mail to trees, complimenting their looks and leaves and telling tales of how they’d helped them survive during inclement meather. Some trees even write back.
3. Text that says:
“My dearest Ulmus,” the message began.
“As I was leaving St. Mary’s College today I was struck, not by a branch, but by your radiant beauty. You must get these messages all the time. You’re such an attractive tree.”
This is an excerpt of a letter someone wrote to a green-leaf elm, one of thousands of messages in an ongoing correspondence between the people of Melbourne, Australia, and the city’s trees.

p.s. would you consider your fingers to be your branches or your roots?

Dear Rose Gum,
Over the past year I have cycled by you each day and want you to know how much joy you give me.
No matter the weather or what is happening around you, you are strong, elegant, and beautiful. I wanted you to know.
Love.

Dear Nettle,
I just moved in three months ago and I’m very glad that I can talk to you through this system. I live in the first floor and I can actually see you through my window!
I’m having trouble sleeping at night because of the noise of cars and ambulances at night, hope you’re not suffering that much and be able to have a good sleep.
Thank you for blocking the noises from the street and wish the birds don’t do harm to you. Pleasant to meet you and have a nice day!
Cheers!

Hello tree.
I don’t actually know you, but recently I’ve been wondering what trees say.
A friend of mine gave me your contact information, so I thought I would go straight to the source.
So here is my question: what would you tell people if you could speak?
8. A photo of a tree in a field by a path, with a text box that says:
Dear beautiful grassland gum,
I know things may get a little glume-y when you only have grasses for company, but today is your day to shine! Happy National Eucalypt Day!
Your friend.
9. A photo of a tree in front of a brick building, with a text box that says:
Hi Tree 1022794,
How’s it going? I walk past you each day at uni, it’s really great to see you out in the sun now that the scaffolding is down around Building 100. Hope it all goes well with the photosynthesis.
All the best.
10. A photo of a tree in a patch of grass by a read, with a text box that says:
Dear Smooth-barked Apple Myrtle,
I am your biggest admirer. I have always wanted to mee you, but tragically, I’m stuck in New York.
I think you are the most handsome tree of them all, tall with an inviting open canopy. I love to just dream of you, the smell of your clusters of white flowers, the sight of your lush, dark green foliage, and feel of your patterned bark.
You inspire me to live life to the fullest, and pursue my dreams; you keep growing despite the terrible tragedies in this world. You are loved and deserve the world.
Love, some person in New York
11. A photo of a tree by a path with a fence, with a text box that says:
Dear Magnificent River Red Gum,
I admire you every day as I walk past you on my way to and from work. You seem to have been around for some time. IS there any chance that you were here for longer than the time of white settlement?
You look to me to be substantially older than any of the other trees
around Princes Park. Is this true? Does this entitle you to any
special treatment? How old might you be? Hopefully you will outlast
me in the land of the living. I am very interested to know more of
your history.
Regards and hope you enjoyed the rain this
weekend after such a long dry month.

Adulting advice: if you think you can’t do a thing because you tried it as a child or teenager and you sucked really badly: try it again.
You may not notice it, but as an adult you continue gaining motor skills, insight, problem solving skills and above all patience and resilience in the face of failure. Also puberty can be a nightmare. For some of us it’s just harder to do things when we’re full of insecurities, low impulse control and focus, heightened emotions, etc. A thing that was hard for 15 year old you might not be hard for 25 or 35 or 45 years old you.
I thought I was the absolute worst at sowing because I tried to learn it in my teenage years and failed spectacularly at the most basic tasks. Turns out I just didn’t have the patience and focus for it yet. I tried it again recently and it didn’t take long at all to learn how to make my own clothes. (And oh my, being able to make any outfit I want in any fabric is a queer superpower.)
It really sucks that we’re told quite early in life what our talents are and we end up assuming that there are some things we’re just not good at, when the truth is that learning as an adult is just completely different from learning as a child.
Quite a few people are responding to this talking about ages at which they think your motor skill or brain and ‘fully developed’. To which I say (1) we don’t actually know when and if a brain is ever ‘fully developed’ and (2) you’re kind of missing the whole point.
There is no ‘fully developed’ you, we just keep learning and changing.The point is that you just keep gaining skills as you age. Ranging from stuff like hand-eye coordination to experience repairing shit to just plain patience.
At some point in your life, your memory and motor skills etc may start getting less again, yeah. Or you might get a disability. Or both. The future is not set in stone. But for most people, for most of adulthood you just gradually get better at shit.
Stop thinking that you’ll peak at 25. You’ll probably be at your most capable at whatever the fuck you wanna do in life in your mid 40s to mid-60s. Most of becoming an older adult isn’t some scary world of missed chances and doors that close for ever. It’s just you, but more experienced.
