Hilarious. Tragic. Epic. Need to start taking notes to keep up with the massive cast..

I took too long to finally tackle this book.. Better late than never I suppose. It’s lit 🔥 the chapter Learning the Grammar of Animacy alone is worth rereading a couple times. So rich in how linguistics shape our worldview and in turn how we treat our fellow organisms throughout our lifetime. 👏🏻

A good friend just reminded me that I need to read this, and wait, what?! It’s a required book for our indigenous land stewardship course this semester. Sweeet 🤩

Just skimmed this required text for our organic gardening course this fall at the U. It’s hand lettered and illustrations are hand drawn, limited edition signed copy. Beautiful work! Has to be the coolest textbook I’ve experienced yet.

Fantastic collection of climate writing, so far the essays that have really resonated are by Julian Aguin, Jade Begay, Antonia Jubasz/Rebecca Solnit, & Lutunatabua, and Leah Cardamore Stokes.

Learning a buncha fun stuff about my favorite band and the making of *one of their best albums (maybe would rank it in the top 3). Didn’t know Naomi Klein’s No Logo was so impactful on some of the members especially Ed O’Brien, even though Yorke seemed to get sick of folks associating her book with the lyrics of Kid A. Oh, Thom!

If you find climate change and global warming scary, search for “global dimming” 🫣

Nearing the end and not one mention of Krist Novalesic, Kurt Cobain, or Dave Grohl. What a rip off.
