Way too densely packed with info that I just don't care enough to wade through.

What we are calling the Anthropocene might be more accurately called the Capitaloscene- what we are really witnessing are the material conditions of the last five hundred years of capitalism.

Sometimes literally the only place you can find a book is a shitty libgen pdf and that's okay

batsy Libgen is such a lifesaver for expensive academic books, especially. 2mo

Well, at almost 50% I‘m tapping out. I can‘t get the 5 hours of my listening life back but I *can* (and did) return this to the library and move on. Here‘s the thing I learned: the author is a skilled linguist and a really, really terrible narrator in equal measure.

This might be a fantastic book in print but it is downright painful to listen to. Later, alligator. 👋

Great insights from ~30 years ago. Loving this book. Also, got a big surprise when I realized that one of the editors of writing science series is the dad of my husband‘s best man. I opened the book and was like hey! I know him! We had a good laugh over it.

“The past is the ultimate abyss.”

bibliothecarivs I have always loved this quote from Simon Schama: 'Historians are left forever chasing shadows, painfully aware of their inability ever to reconstruct a dead world in its completeness however thorough or revealing their documentation. We are doomed to be forever hailing someone who has just gone around the corner and out of earshot.' 4mo

Last book of 2023: Persuasion, the last in my Jane Austen reread.
First book started in 2024: Finally getting around to Imagining Head-Smashed-In, which I think I bought in 2018.

Informative book and a good resource for mental health professionals on how to be inclusive of different lifestyles. The last chapter provides resources for those looking for mental health and other professionals that will be accepting of their choices.
