"I'm not paying the welfare chiselers to breed like flies". less than 30 pages in and this kind of shit? for fuck's sake.

I really really really love Neruda, but one second he preaches decolonization, the next he says that Indian music "predates music," is a "moan of a prehistoric animal." The writing is incredible but -- sigh.

Here for history of metabolic knowledge and knowing how to best support my body's use of energy. Not here for weight loss stuff, tho at least so far there isn't really much of that. The title seems like it will be all DIET CULTURE-Y but thankfully there hasn't been much of that. It's not completely without it, but it's not overwhelmingly present. At least not yet.

Here for the plant stuff, but there's a bit less of it than I was expecting.

Between careless flailing about in closed cultural practices and using the term "off the reservation", yeah. Not great.

I've heard rave reviews about this book so I wanna give it a try, but right out of the gate it means in to binary sexual thinking, so I'm sus.

I've heard nothing but bad things about this from other Indigenous folk so this will be an interesting forray into fuckery, I'm sure.

Getting some very hetero and yt and neurotypical vibes without considering other identities and places of oppression. hmmmmmmm.

Yo this lady just used the word gypsy to refer to women being wild and free like two times I can't with this.

I'm about halfway through the book, and I'm liking a lot of the ideas, but I'm getting really tired of throwaway mentions to Native people and trying to imagine a just world for the USA without doing the work to decolonize. Sigh

The chapter titles look terrible but it came recommended so hey, not judging a book by the cover.
