The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable | Amitav Ghosh

The idea for Frankenstein came to Shelley during a ghost story competition with her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori during the cold summer of 1816. #TodayILearned #NFN

When places are remote and far from civilized society, strange things happen!

We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate | Michael Grunwald

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.

ravenlee I really wish the last chapter and epilogue had been more of a how-to, let‘s do this together feel. Grunwald cautions against Debbie Downerism, but the big takeaway here is that we should and could be doing so much, but we aren‘t, and it‘s because our political/economic systems are broken. Which, they are, but what do we do about it? I guess he doesn‘t know either. 3w

"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.

Starting this one tonight!

TheBookHippie How are you doing? How‘s your mom? 4w

ravenlee @TheBookHippie thanks for asking - I‘ve got a sick kiddo who hates taking medicine, and I‘m trying to sort out how it impacts our whole week. My mom is doing pretty well. She had the procedure her doctor wanted her to have in the first place but the tumor board overruled him; then he couldn‘t complete the procedure they wanted instead. But there‘s a waiting period of several months before they can determine if it was effective… 4w

ravenlee …so she‘s waiting on her next PET scan/MRI next month (I think) to find out if it worked. If it didn‘t…well, I think this is the last-ditch effort. It all kind of comes down to the next tests. But she‘s coming to visit next month to see kiddo dance in the Nutcracker, so we‘re focusing on that. 4w

TheBookHippie @ravenlee sending so much love to you. Keeping you close in my heart. 4w

ravenlee @TheBookHippie thank you for thinking of us. It means a lot. 3w
