Status Updates From Mountain gloom and mountain...

okay so idk if I'm going to properly read the whole thing bc I do not really have the time (draft due tuesday and I lowkey just started readign sources gg!!) but in the preface Nicolson talks ab a student who grew up in Jersey and went to Smith abd I feel kinship with her. also apparently she wrote a 127 page thesis in 6 weeks i'm sorry WHAT!!!

"The Cartesian shears that had separated 'the world out there' from 'the mind in here' had laid upon thoughtful [people] the burden of discovering how nature affected the mind and how mind knew nature."

Yes, it was a burden. The affect of nature was better when we didn't even realize that it was an affect.

since this one is so long, and the reference library is quarantining books once you've touched them for more than 5 minutes, I will have to strategize how I'm going to read this in one day... In the meantime I'm reading Gillian Rose's much shorter Feminism and Geography.
