Put differently, I'm not sure its news to tell me the worker was warned without the full context of that warning. Jessie Singer's "There are no accidents" was like a brain reset in this regard. It helped me see h we normalize injuries by pretending situations are immutable.

@trekonomics The only Angelou I got was a sanitized excerpt from I know Why The Caged Bird Sings in middle school. No Morrison at all.

@joelgombiner Me too I wish I could credit the book but it's so long ago and I'm underslept and I literally can't remember. I think it might be from The Overspent American by Juliet Schor.

@randomjeweler I read Night in middle school not for school and not gonna lie it fucked me up a little but mostly in good ways. I think the big thing with kids is they lack a lot of context. So messed up stuff doesnt always hit - me with Daphne Du Maurier's rebecca

Out of stock

@DrMRFrancis I too on "team leave them as they are." Like I'm still never going to read a James Bond novel. But I'm more making a meta critique, because so many of the stories leave out key context and honestly is there a reason this is news?

Also everything I said above about Jonathan Franzed extends to Jonathan Safran Foer except I have read two of his books one fictional and the other We Are the Weather and We are the Weather is objectively awful and lazily written but I bet he got a fat advance.

@TricksyRaccoon Re: stan cox, I think people are misconstruing losing our cool (which is the only one ive read). I didn't walk away thinking air conditioning made us weak, I did and still do think air conditioning made us illogical /1

*I originally mistakenly wrote 96. I think this error was big enough to delete and correct. Read @EricKlinenberg "Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago" to learn more, it's very very very very good.

Two books that were really instructive for me in rethinking how food systems worked are Late Victorian Holocausts by Mike Davis and Stuffed and Starved by Raj Patel https://t.co/DYFV3CGPjs
