Hope in this sense is just the recognition that…the future is not (as it is so often spoken of) a place that already exists, toward which we are trudging, but a place that we are creating with what we do and how we do it (or don‘t) in the present.

Starting this one today.
My god I hope I finish this book before it has to go back to the library. I like it so far.
Moved through this one so slowly - I always relish work from Solnit. This collection isn't her strongest, but there are standout pieces for sure.
Solnit‘s latest contains the topics you can expect from her: climate change, homelessness, politics, abortion, feminism. Some of these pieces are so outstanding, everyone should read them, especially “Abortion is an Economic Issue.” Also, if you have climate anxiety, I think you‘ll breathe a little easier after “Changing the Climate Story.”
While some essays were stronger than others, overall this was a great compilation of essays covering the past few years and focusing on feminism, climate change, and other social issues.
