one big handshake

Nov 23, 2025 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM

Music

With wishbone

folk textures! often crafted from a deep fascination with acoustic instruments and styles, and their canoodling with electricity. what even is it? is it alive? and who cares? love of collage-y and crooked music. respect for ever warping tradition. cheers

goooooooood morning!

(good morning!)

plant of the day:

sassafras (sassafras albidum)

Sassafras - Alchetron, The Free Social Encyclopedia

sassafras is a lovely native! it can grow as a tree or shrub, usually in our area it grows as a shrub. sassafras can be easily identified by its unique lobed leaves and spicy sort of smell.

Here's a link to some information about them. https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/hermit-th...

They're native to north america and migrate up as far north as alaska to breed, and as far south as parts of central america to weather the cold months.

Regarding sassafras, at nature camp back in the 70s we were told (jokingly!) that the leaves with two side lobes were daddyfrass, the leaves with a single side lobe were mommyfrass, and the leaves with no lobes were babyfrass
