Thanks for this thoughtful essay on weeds! I’ve often thought about how they were just plants living in places people didn’t want them. I quoted a couple of your paragraphs in my Substack, Mother E, and riffed on that theme. It’s here if you want to read it:
I'm glad you enjoyed the essay, and thanks so much for including me in yours! I am flattered to be in such good company, and have subscribed to Gen Dread now too!
I especially liked your comparison of weeds to the invisible people in our society. I think that's very apt. I have already noticed that very similar rhetoric is used against immigrant humans and "invasive" plants, but your observation is a bit broader.
Again, thanks for including me in your work. I'm subscribed and looking forward to more.
