A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!

Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.

Found this post on IG and I'm wondering what this community's stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it's a valid question.

"...there are no sticks here. Nothing grows..." so far...

[...] we demonstrate a clear but nonlinear trend towards a greater area of vegetation cover across the [Antarctic Peninsula] in recent decades [...] Crucially, the rate of change in vegetation cover has increased considerably in recent years

[...]

Regardless of the complexities discussed in the preceding, the overall statistically significant trajectory of APwide greening from 1986 to 2021 [...] provides strong evidence of rapid and ongoing response of AP vegetation to climate change, and presents a compelling case for future widespread changes in the AP’s terrestrial ecosystems.
