Did you ever gild #moss? I did! Look behind the scenes of producing my podcast episode about moss and how moss took revenge (I don't know why): steadyhq.com/en/naturemat... #ISeeMoss #podcast #nature #NatureMatchCuts #naturelovers #green #sciComm #carbonSink #biodiversity #tardigrade #kinship

How to gild moss

I proudly present the comeback of my #podcast #NatureMatchCuts with your favourite topic: #moss

Let's dive into the emerald green magic moss worlds of this primordial #plant and #climate champion, play voyeur at their courtship, and meet moss-lovers around the globe! My interview guest is experienced in #space and winner of the Guardian Prize for the Invertebrate Of The Year 2025.

Last week I used the office hot water dispenser for tea, and it was so gross I couldn't drink it. I immediately rage bought an electric kettle for the office. Now I'm enjoying a perfect cup of tea as God intended, complete with tardigrade mug.

Finally, finally, I've mastered the #moss sex without using complicated technical terms. Now it's time to ask the #tardigrade more questions. Then scripting the outro. The final spurt.
In the evenings and during breaks, I create the sound design for the episode (in thoughts).
Sleep is overrated, coffee undervalued.

Tomorrow a disaster day of proofreading between multiple appointments.
I'm my own worst critic.
Then sleep. A voice needs sleep.

"A piglet wrapped in an enormous duvet" - I'm just sitting at the interview with this fascinating person, suddenly she cries Yabba dabba doo! - her species won the Guardian #Invertebrate Of The Year contest! "They are gloriously independent animals. They don’t need us half as much as we need them." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/07/guardian-invertebrate-of-the-year-2025-natural-history
Should I ask her what she thinks about the article?

It's crazy, I spent nearly the whole afternoon working on the interview with a Tardigrade (research+writing) - and spoken it's only 10 minutes long. I need another day for writing ...

End of the working day now. Laziness!

just a lil painting. i still cant believe i made up nikitaks and the real life little water bears was right there with all their little claw limbs already traveling the stars. so cool

Oh I've been bit out there. Doing things and.. Out.
But here's a #art I've made. It's #tardigrade . Scottish tardigrad.

Somehow talking with my sister from another parents gave me this idea.

If you could interview a tardigrade, what would you like to know?

ed: You are fantastic! Thanks to all for these inspiring great questions.

I'll ask the tardigrade, of course! I'm still waiting for the confirmation from my chubby interview partner. We'll talk also about their sex life, so the episode could be prohibited in a big country for too much diversity and #biodiversity.

Stifling a sudden urge to go "Tickle tickle tickle tickle!" #tardigrade
