The last paragraph of this section I read was talked abt how bad pesticides herbicides and fungicides can be for an ecosystem and in turn how that would impact humans, but I find it unnecessary that she admitted to telling workers that they shouldn’t look forward to having healthy kids bc they work with those chemicals. I’m pretty sure they have no choice if they want to make a living for their family 😭

Still a bit confusing to read, I don’t think we need a symbolic message ever other sentence, but it’s getting a little easier to understand/ is getting more interesting

Had to write an update rq cause wdym 4-5yr olds cooked u lunch at a forest school outside??? Some of this is a little hard to believe LMAO it sounds fun but like?? Ig that’s hard to picture from today’s perspective, with the kids being in charge of the lessons at 4 yrs old? The 4 yr olds I worked with couldn’t write or spell their own names idk how these kids be cookin a whole damn lunch 😭

Diana is 80 yrs old while writing this - it’s kinda written like a whimsical confusing story that ur grandma or other elder would tell u - the writing is a little confusing to read bc it’s all like metaphors and stuff idk it is 2:20am so maybe it’s me 😄

So far I am really not a fan of her writing style. Why are we mentioning a story about her friend who had cancer, and then leaving to find a mystical pool of water deep in the woods that had healing powers, taking some, giving it to her friend, and claiming it gave him another year of life??? In a chapter about soil??? Also the layout of the book makes no sense, the chapters are all standalone and don’t make sense in the order they’re in. Also, why are we using a simile or metaphor in every other sentence? Again with the confusing writing! Comparing herself to Rachel Carson is wild 😭 also why do so many of these middle chapters end with giant run on paragraphs and then have a 4 word sentence to finish? Cut it up a bit more girl omggg I am so confused reading this ugh
