I hope Crime Pays but Botany Doesn’t talks about this, he spends tons of time in the Mojave Desert! “Okay, so, here ya got a species of MAHSS, dat seems like it doesn’t really like bein’ in the desert, but that’s where it lives anyway. Why would you do that? I hear ya though, I know the feeling. I live in the city, that’s like a desert of the soul, ya know? Surrounded by the ongoing catastrophe that is modern humanity.” Followed by an accurate and detailed description of the moss’ morphology and lifecycle.

  Good idea! For the even lazier who won’t jump without more context, he’s a low-brow, misanthropic, intentionally-stereotypical Chicago Italian who really enjoys studying and cultivating native plants, and talks in-depth about botany while getting sidetracked by rants about humanity and occasionally saving small animals. He ends most videos with something along the lines of, “Have a nice evening, go fuck yourself, bye.” HST would have called him “one of God’s own prototypes” even if they might have hated each other had they met. The first time I saw one of his videos, I thought it was a joke until he got waaay too deep into Latin names and plant structures for it to not be legit. He’s got a millimeter scale tattooed on a finger so he doesn’t have to carry a ruler around. He has a Patreon and isn’t a prick about it, barely mentions it, and I suspect that some of the big donors who help fund his trips around the world are the same tech entrepreneurs he rails against. I’m so happy that he’s out there doing his thing.

    I didn't check the videos. I found the channel and it has a few videos with nice thumbnails of plants in the desert, so the recommendation of the ggp looked relevant, and I bookmarked it for later.
