"I've really been enjoying get through this slowly. I haven't finished a book yet in 2025 (i am in grad school so i think its okay). Han hits a lot of sore spots in his writing. Reading through this hurts, but in the way that you know it is good for you." — May 20, 2025 02:17AM

izzy’s Quotes

“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants
