Closed tabs September 2025
I’m currently reading Raven Biology of Plants and Always Coming Home (Le Guin). I’m also committing myself to (tree) walks and activities even when no one joins. I’m also taking a mushroom course and going on walks trying to find mushrooms. And also looking for a job that’s fulfilling and purposeful. There are like a million things I can learn and read and do, and then I also have to do the dishes.
To read
- The Light Eaters by Zoë Schlanger
- De toekomst van het stadsbos
