Welcome to Litsy!

Low pick. A ton of information/explanation, and I feel I have a better handle on a really tangled subject. There are lots of people to keep straight, and lots of no-real-solutions. BUT - I don‘t have any idea where I should go from here, as an individual. Should I be calling my representatives? Making personal changes? Supporting businesses? This reads more as a bio of Tim Searchinger than anything else. Frustrating and kind of disappointing, tbh.

"One molecule of carbon dioxide. Small quiet insignificant."
A book about how one person can make a difference and climate change. I think we'll read this before or next day of service.

TIL — Brandolini‘s Law, or the bullshit asymmetry principle: The energy required to refute misinformation is an order of magnitude larger than the energy required to produce it.

My apologies. I forgot to post November's read.
Amitav Ghosh looks at the impact of climate change in his 2016 non-fiction book, The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable. He focuses on the influence of culture, history, and politics on environmental issues and how these relate to colonialism.

Starting this one tonight!

A fascinating book from the NBA NF list. Jordan was studying for a PhD when he decided to become a ‘hotshot‘ firefighter, chasing wildfires.

The book blends his physical experiences fighting fires with his studies into how indigenous peoples managed the land through fire.

Most interesting (and infuriating) was the mis-information on climate change peddled by large corporations and taken up by (Republican) politicians.

Thanks to @BennettBookworm and @ChaoticMissAdventures I‘ve made my list for #10BeforetheEnd and I‘m so excited! Really, it‘s the act of list-making that gives me this boost of confidence, like just by committing them to paper I‘m *almost* finished reading these 10 books already. 😋 Six are for book clubs taking place at my bookstore, so I‘d better get on that! Enjoy your lists, everyone!

I was picking up a library hold so I decided to check this out again, and found this cookbook that looks interesting. I already have 1.5 library books to read! I need an entire day (weekend…week…) to do nothing but read!

Shearwater Island is permeated by ghosts and spirits-ghosts of the animals who were massacred there in the 19th century, the howl and unforgiving brutality of the winds, the flickering ghost lights, the perpetual twilight, the whispers of the dead…
