My latest book purchases, winter reading adventures, can take me from moss to trees in the forest and around the world with 80 trees and off our planet all the way to cosmic 3D clouds. 💚

Someone read The Overstory and then looked at the bamboo in his yard …

"To be human is to confuse the satisfying story with a meaningful one... No: life is mobilized on a vastly larger scale, and the world is failing precisely because no novel can make the contest for the world seem as compelling as the struggles between a few lost people."

There are brains down there, ones our own brains aren’t shaped to see. Root plasticity, solving problems and making decisions. Fungal synapses. What else do you want to call it? Link enough trees together, and a forest grows aware.”💚

Today’s walk was marveling at leaf pigments. Carotenoid and Anthocyanin do not disappoint. Bonus, I get to share a copy of Powers’ The Overstory with a neighbor this week.

There’s a novel called “The Overstory” you might like. It’s fiction, but it has a ton of factual information about trees, and it’s a good, fun read too.

Witchhazel is blooming! Hamamelis virginiana is easy to miss. Look up and you might look right past these arching understory trees, but look closely and you may be rewarded with our latest bloom of the fall.

FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING FOOD. Been meaning to read this (listen to it) for ages and ~4 chapters in it's already my favourite book all year.

I wonder how the employees of Overstory Media feel about having their tech bro founder call the company "a failure" in his little newsletter, while they continue to show up at work and try to bring in readers, workers and advertisers?

Beneath the overstory of one hundred trillion synapses, the overthinking animal keeps losing its way in the wilderness of want.

I held back on starting other books while reading this so this could be my 50th because I am small time dramatic

Fall color peaking along Beartooth Front 1800-2000m. Response from our cold system last weekend. The shrubs gave out earlier, they started late Aug. 17C cool but cold w N breeze. Last warm dry day like this tomorrow, colder pattern returning after 👍🏽. #climate #hiking #dogs #montana #mountains

is the Oryx & Crake trilogy a bit too depressing right now?

I will also always recommend Richard Power's The Overstory

Months after laying off 17 staff, Overstory Media continue to oppose company-wide unionization — and now staff are being warned that more layoffs may be coming.

Finished the trippy You Dreamed of Empires, got started again on The Overstory… and got hit with a chills-and-fever spell that laid me out for 16 hours in that weird semi-hallucinatory state.

Great books for that, though, I gotta say.
