Happy #NewstodonFriday! Once again, the many newsrooms who have an active presence in the #fediverse have produced inspiring, informative, interesting stories, and we’re highlighting their work in the thread below. If you like what you see, follow the profiles and boost their stories. If you’re a journo or newsroom that we don’t know about or if there’s a newsroom you’d love to put on our radar, please let us know in the comments.

mycelium (fungi) create expansive networks between themselves, soil, and plants. they communicate, between themselves and the plants that support them, to ensure their habitat remains safe and both they and the plants remain healthy and fed.

Oh, and on paper I started to read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret #Atwood [again, already read it in 2017] since there is The Testaments, its sequel that came out almost parallel to Trumps installment as POTUS, in 2017. The Testaments is requested by another library user and I have to give it back on the 22nd of June so I am in a bit of a hurry with those two, as I like it. 🥳 #bookstodon@bookstodon
