I spent part of my childhood in the Florida panhandle. Niceville. I know the moss. Oh hell yes, I know the moss.
When you see Spanish moss you’re watching slow-motion, plant-based, indeed vegan murder. Spanish moss can so overwhelm trees – they have a very nearly racist hatred of oaks – that by slowly cutting off the nourishing sunlight which enables photosynthesis, the tree dies. That’s right, Spanish moss blinds oak trees and throttles photosynthesis. Which is one of the most important syntheses.
Spanish moss sucks moisture and nutrients right of the air. Does that seem normal to you? But you, oh you think it’s cute, don’t you?
You are so canceled.
@de stijl: I always appreciate your kind words.
