Siem commented on Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing
I've been reading this book slowly, I'm just barely done with the Ghost side. The idea of this side is that ecological change that's been happening recently, and since longer past, is visible in the presence and absence of things now. The past is haunting us like a ghost, kind of, though it doesn't have to be scary per say. I'm just noticing this is affecting how I think about the environments I live in. I live on human-made land, and that has it's own unique things. The absence of a longer history has always bothered me, and how in every forest I could see the trees neatly planted in rows... And slowly that's starting to change.
