Currently I'm reading Nina Burton's 'Livets tunna väggar' which translate to something like Walls of Life. It's a book by a Swedish writer who inherits her mother's summer house. When she wants to renovate it, she finds all sort of life around and in the house. She uses said life to teach you something about the intellect of various insects and animals, which goes deeper than humans normally think.

It's a very interesting book that makes me think about non-human life even more. Creatures that are thousands of times smaller than we are have such complex societal structures. Humans have overcommodified animal life for centuries now, seeing them as property and commodities instead of complex and intelligent life forms.

Fraud, famine and fascism by douglas tottle.

Its about the myth of the ukrainian genocide, im halfway throu but so far it tells the story of how the narrative was pushed by nazi germany and picked up by pro fascism american media magnate Hearst, whom also had Mussolini on his payroll lol.

Lo and behold when I search for this book, I'm recommended an entirely different book by Orwell. The book I'm looking for is maybe six results down even though the search terms match exactly, case sensitive, too. Not in stock. It's available in Walmart, apparently. Fortunately if I hold a finger in the air I can feel a breeze strong enough to fill a sail.

The pdf is available on annas archive.

Turns out, this strong breeze is blowing in that direction.
