Other possible habitat choices include human trash such as cans and bottles.
From the time I was 10, I’ve been obsessed with what it means to grow older.

Sasha Stone is a pioneering blogger and founder of Awards Daily, as well as a widely-read, provocative Substack, “Free Thinking Through the Fourth Turning.” She is on the vanguard of the realignment and re-sorting underway in our politics and culture.
