The first two chapters of this book, detailing the history of algae, are way more interesting then they have any right to be. Very much enjoying this book.
"What are people doing with their time on this little blue planet? Perhaps it’s traveling to as many places as possible. Maybe it’s running across sporting events naked. Whatever it is, I want to know. For me, this has been the year of the life story." —Carolyn Wells on the people of 2024.

You know the sort of scary thriller where our heroes seem inextricably caught in a death trap with no means or chance of escape but remain nonetheless ardent in their tribulations and you already know The Author has a plan for them and you can't wait to get to the end to see and don't want to peek because it is their journey that is the important story?
I'm finding #ThomasPiketty's "Capital and Ideology" to be just like that

I just want to say that Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmer is the most beautiful and amazing #book I've read in a long time. The poetry, the philosophy, the raw emotion of it really spoke to me. It drove home again and again the simple message that we have been squandering our gifts as humans in this capitalistic hell-system. The indigenous wisdom of using them to engage in reciprocity with our environment as a responsibility in a culture of gratitude has been thrown aside, but it's not gone.
