(as of having moved here, like, yesterday)

• buffalo sucks
• everywhere else doesn’t
• mushrooms
• no, I’m serious, so many little mushrooms
• and other fungus of unknown identification
• so cute
• the West just doesn’t have this much fungus
• it also doesn’t have efts, which if you didn’t know (I didn’t) are teenage terrestrial newts who are too cute to be real
• as in, so cute and tiny and bright orange that I thought one was a toy first until it moved
• waterfalls
• also shale. shale is a good rock
• sea level is weird and fake and there’s a lot of air in the air, which means that even “strenuous” things can be recovered from in like ten seconds at most
• humidity is real
• it apparently makes cars frost a little bit with… car-dew? I don’t understand
• I recognize almost literally 0 of these trees
• I am trying to learn though, and when I looked it up, apparently here there’s things like elm and ash and hawthorn and freakin’ sassafrass… all things I’ve heard of, because the east has irritating cultural dominance over the rest of the country, but have not “actually” “seen”
• although based on what little I did manage to learn I may have successfully identified one (1) hawthorn today
• there are so many squirrels
• and relatedly, so many acorns
• did you know acorns fall from trees and make sounds while they move through the branches? 
• also bugs make more sounds here than out west, even in the daytime
• giant millipede
• slightly different chipmunk with much smaller tail
• the trees are like, almost all deciduous. the seasons are going to feel cartoonish, again bc eastern cultural dominance, little kids are taught about seasons as they present out here rather than. yknow. where they actually live
• I’m really bitter abt that you guys
• but it’s actually nice out here
• just pls guys do us a favor and learn as much about the West as we’re forced to learn about you, I’m begging you,
