    Having worked growing native plants for restoration efforts, I can say that this is 100% true. Our focus was on getting plants that will survive without any extra help after being put in the ground, so no fertilizer and limited water. A scraggly leaved plant with good roots would make it where something with lots of soft new growth would get eaten.

    As someone who has spent years cleaning both - men’s restrooms are predictably gross the same way every day. Women’s restrooms are typically cleaner until they aren’t. Then they really aren’t. Piss on the floor - not in a stall, blood randomly sprayed around somehow, shit literally smeared by hand on the wall.

    When I am camping (and when I’m not) I try to think of my position in the world. Is the scorpion in my shoe invading my space or am I passing through theirs? Who should have the right to be there? Do they only get to exist if they play by my rules, or do I acknowledge the right of things that scare me to have a place in the world? Will I be someone who lashes out or someone who makes space?

    You are totally in the majority with your actions, and I’m not trying to lay anything on you at all. I only wish we as a species could extend a little more kindness when it is the emotionally hard choice.
