Very true, people fear the internet because it is where we become our most particularly human. Grass lawns remind us of the fake mythic construct of what “being human” is.
Same, because this fried my brain and I’m supposed to be corresponding with my family, not yapping at them about Balkans=Mordor(which is lowkey not the point of this piece but whatever). Reading only half of this right before Christmas Day dinner is not my #1 life decision

Was not expecting the turns this read took. A good pause in between my LOTR marathon.
