Journal / Longing for books, and short essays

Ive actually have been reading again. I've been reading the book called: "Lets Become Fungal! Mycelium Teachings and the Arts" recommended to me by the bookstore owner of Inga. When I commute to work on the train ive been reading it bit by bit. What really excites me about this book in general is just having an idea and topic thats explored more indepthly then I feel I get when i go on the internet. The internet has really made everything so bite sized. Ideas and topics that are surface level, quick to understand and very summerized. I blame social media, to be honest. posts aren't made to hold more then a thought or two - videos lengths can only be so long, a photo is quickly replaced with the next one, no time to breath with one. So, reading this book, has kinda reminded me that the internet, and world hasn't always been this way. Its exciting! I want to more then ever disconnect from the endless doom scroll. I want to read strange short essays on the internet, to read more niche books. Ive been longing for books, and I feel like the book, "Lets Become Fungal! Mycelium Teachings and the Arts", has awaken that in me.

Reading this book has also exposed me to things outside of the curated, and somewhat snake-like, algorithm of social media. Learning about the indigenous farms of latin america for example. This isnt something I get on my social media feed. I want to find more books, that free me from the chains and restriction of social media. To read more about things that just would never find itself way to me otherwise.

As Senku from dr.stone would say:
"this is exhilarating, get excited."
