    Nearly finished braiding sweetgrass. This book is phenomenal. Absoluloving it.

    Also just started shadowplay by Tim Marshall. It's about his time as a journalist during the yugoslav war. Very interesting so far even though I'm about 80 pages in.

    I recently read this book on the topic because it's something that interests me and I'm a migrant. It's a really good book that answers a lot of questions as well as confirmed some ideas I have on the subject.

    I think the migration issue is purposely left open so that politicians can have an "other" to point at and use to pass more restrictive laws. I'm not an expert when it comes to this but if you dig down to the core of the topic then we are dealing with people. We should try to be kind and understanding to them and help where we can because the politicians won't.

    if you are interested in this topic then check out collective aid, refugee Community kitchen, no name kitchen, utopia 56 and no border paramedics. These organisations have more information and volunteer opportunities.

    In saying that this is so unbelievably dumb. Honestly is a wonder people who think this stuff up have any power at all. Like how do they function on a daily basis.

    Reading On stranger tides. Great swashbuckling adventure book that apparently inspired the 4th pirates film. Enjoying it so far. Very easy to read and get sucked into the story.

    Also just started Braiding sweetgrass. It pairs well with my studies and even though I'm 20pages in I can tell this is going to be a great book.

    The crafsman - super relaxing toy making videos. High quality production and all round just nice.

    World war 2 - the most in depth history of ww2. Weekly episodes.

    Cool worlds - great scientific videos about space by a space doctor/scientist. Whatever they are.

    Straybob - fantastic travel videos. Most slow travel kinda stuff but he truly understands what travel is and I like that.

    That midnight album is a banger! Short and sweet. Just long enough and packed full of great riffs. Makes me wanna buy a bullet belt.

    Yea I think in my head I still think of them as a vrind band which they aren't really. So I kinda gotta reframe that and then I think it will click. Might just swing back to it after a few weeks.

    Iv been trying to get into the new knoll album but it's not really clicking. I'm not a massive fan of dissonant death metal which is the direction they seem to be going in. It's still very good but at around the 30min mark I gotta dip out.

    I will admit I didn't read the whole article but I did see the "I'm not fun" flaw. Sometimes I think I'm not fun because I'm sober and drinking is a hugely popular activity for humans. So in that context I'm not fun. I guess I just gotta find my group of people who can do a thing without drinking but that's proven difficult.

    Anyway figured I'd give my 2c.
