Today I met someone from Mastodon who lives in my area and he gave me a bunch of #EdiblePlants including a rare fruit tree—African peach (Nauclea latifolia). #Gardening in FL has tons of challenges but being able to grow #TropicalFruit is the upside.

What’s cool about this is my mom remembers this fruit from her childhood in #Nigeria but, growing up in #Lagos, she never saw the actual plant. @nerb gave me two so we each get to grow one.

These poppies will never sing again under the wind and the sun, buried under the sterile grass of yet another golf course extension in spite of being a nature 's protected area. In 2008 former prime minister José Sócrates Pinto de Sousa personally blessed its destruction under a National Interest Project that partially ravaged Ria de Alvor Natura 2000 site with a luxury real estate operation, an #environmentalcrime no one cared to investigate.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🌱🏙️ Instead of another dystopian future, this TED-Ed #animation shows an optimistic vision of 2125. It imagines cities where public transit and urban farms replace highways, mangroves protect restored coastlines, and mushrooms clean polluted soil.

Based on the "solarpunk" movement, it demonstrates how existing technologies in #LosAngeles, #Lagos, and #SãoPaulo could create sustainable urban environments where #nature, #technology, and humans thrive together.

Continued thread

British Nigerian artist Karl Ohiri was shocked to hear that many photographers in Lagos, Nigeria, burned their old negatives, so he embarked on a project to develop whatever he could find. Here, @thecontinent shares some of the photos that form the Lagos Studio Archives.
