For the Californians I can offer https://calscape.org/. If you just look up "[location] native plant society" that should lead you in the right direction. I just love learning about the land I'm on and having a neat list of plants adapted to and thriving in the area, maybe you do too.

Ivy is invasive to my area and it's EVERYWHERE! It can be difficult and expensive to remove but it's a good thing to do and can even be a matter of safety. Sometimes ivy will basically choke a tree to death, which'll then potentially become a hazard to buildings and people nearby.
I can't recommend a reliable website to find your local invasive species right now, because the gov websites are dropping like flies. Sorry 😔💔
That said, if you can, make some time to research your local area's invasive species, native and keystone species!
It's really rewarding to learn about and act on! It makes you feel more grounded, doing a good thing with a tangible result. Especially with your hands and plants!

📝A lot of “native” wildflower mixes have tons of bullshit invasives in them - definitely look into what seeds you’re actually buying !! Also throwing out seeds/installing plants and then never going back to water them … not swag. That being said, I think it’s dope when done with intention and most cities have groups of gardeners committed to food justice and native plants that are helpful to link up with!

⛔I hold a grudge against this one because it was maybe twice that I affirmed that I was talking to someone and they meant "talking". This became a thing all of a sudden when I was in college and I got the memo very late. Hate it hate it hate it, it feels so glib and detached and too cool.

☁️This isn't really a daily journaling app BUT the formatting is all really simple. A to do list is very simple to set up, you can make a board with each little block with a to do list assigned a day and can take and put on to dos as you like. I like it bc it's simple, intuitive, it's cute (I love beveled edges...) and I like the color options, I like the ease of making separate boards so some boards can just be dumping spaces or brainstorming or collections. I think there are templates you can just use. Hope this helps :) ! I pair it with bullet journaling (i recommend to ignore the super artistic way ppl tend to do it... it's meant to be simple!.. but if being artsy appeals ofc u can if it doesn't get in the way of doing it every day)

⭐Just a podcast with three guys talking about albums track by track. It's just very cozy and authentic. They just dropped an episode for Emmylou Harris's Pieces of the Sky album.
