real self care is:
- knowing your limits
- doing hard things that will pay off in the long run
- saying no to things that will be bad for you
- saying yes to things that will be good for you
- making good habits to replace the old bad ones
- making an effort to change for the better
- taking that shower when it seems like too much energy
- celebrating the little things
- actively trying to be better
- talking about your feelings
- getting help
- knowing that you have people to reach out to
have a lovely day!

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.
the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.
albino plants are basically vampires.
For a long time, scientists thought they were parasites, and couldn’t figure out why the bigger plants didn’t release chemicals to kill them.
Turns out, the lil’ ghost redwoods benefit their hosts by filtering toxins and acting as a sort of backup immune system.
They’re vampires, and they’re commensal, symbiotic mutualists!
this is super cool! I had no idea
