Underland

Hannah's font is courier.

Chp 3 really unsettled me. The idea of leaving our trash down in caves under the sea just to rot feels so….top of the food chain of us. In general, the cowboy tone of that chp made me feel like we are a bunch of children who don't understand repercussions even though we are literally living thru a mass extinction right TF now.

Glad that in chp 4 he finally mentions indigenous knowledge AND a female scientist. It was feeling v white and bro-y up until then. All the talk about world wood web and mycelium is up my alley and I'm finally engaged! Altho, the scientist drum circle at the end of the chapter….

Chp 5 all those people sound insufferable but I'm very intrigued by the catacombs. Though it's probably be enough for me to see the tourist version vs climb thru a bunch of bones. 

Chp 6 Pg. 190 — MITHRAEUM YOU SAY??? Oh Tamsyn. You are everywhere

Chp. 7 is what both sides-ism will get you. The right will never fairly judge an atrocity, will always use it to exploit their own motives, and in that way actually dishonors the dead. Reservation dogs ep where the deer woman revenge kills. 

Chp 8 “always Englishman doing stuff like this” and his sudden tears on seeing the red dancing figures. Speaks to our disconnectedness and what we lose in center whiteness. Impressions of when we saw early cave art in … New Mexico? Arizona?

Chp 10 ok, I'm calling it. I distrust this Robert MacFarlane. He's literally out there w an Inuit dude and still talking about how it's our individual choices that have fucked up the earth? Come on man. Not to mention the whole chp basically describes Geo as a noble savage, quiet&strong, man of few words bla bla bla.
