As an aside, I wish everything was as "dead" as #RSS. It has been quietly working for all these years and nobody wants to enshittify it.

Lichen. Did you know lichen aren't actually plants? They are colonies of algae and bacteria living symbiotically in a fungus.

Hey #running people! I want to share with you my yesterday's find: https://www.plotaroute.com/. The best route finding/plotting service I've seen. Very useful when you want to stick to your running schedule while out in the wilds on a vacation or a business trip.

It even has a working navigation mode! In a browser!
