Ms. Ashley Shirley Moss-Ross, Public School Zero teacher and amateur ASMR creator, has come under attack for her latest ASMR Nature Therapy For Teachers video. The ASMR video, designed to create soothing sounds that give a tingly effect, was meant to reassure tired teachers in a calming voice that this year they have “worked too hard, worked too hard, worked too hard.”
But the video, which features Ms. Ashley Shirley Moss-Ross pulling at an overgrown vine on an icy barn on a snowy day, has caught the attention of activists against invasive species. Environmentalists point out that the vine that Ms. Ashley Shirley Moss-Ross is tugging at is an invasive Bittersweet.
According to her critics, Ms. Ashley Shirley Moss-Ross should have carefully disposed of any of the invasive berries she shook off in her video as a single berry can quickly invade forests, open woodlands, grasslands, roadsides, and fencerows.*
Ms. Ashley Shirley Moss-Ross responded that she meant no harm to the environment, and was in fact trying to remove the invasive vine. She promises to post a follow-up video that shows her efforts to contain the berries according to the most stringent standards in a gently noisy paper bag.
