Learning Botany in c/science_memes@mander.xyz

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I do not know that one but adding it to my pile. :) I lean more ecology and systems, so I am sure there are some other good recs out there.

Where to find: https://annas-archive.org/ - DM me if you want the audiobook or cannot find it (that goes for anyone).

Anything by Robin Wall Kimmerer, notably Braiding Sweetgrass (most popular) and Gathering Moss (my fav)
Changes in the Land: Indians, Colonists and the Ecology of New England by William Cronon (Love this one; it is a classic)
Nature’s Ghosts: The world we lost and how to bring it back by Sophie Yeo (She refs people I know and like irl; just published - I have not gotten to it but my boss has and says it's good. I trust his instincts more than mine!)
The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing
A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There by Aldo Leopold
Otherlands: A World in the Making by Thomas Halliday

Also, check out Crime Pays, But Botany Doesn't, a great podcast. I believe he has a book.

I'm in the UK. It was a lot of long term chess moves that probably wouldn't be applicable for you. If you are interested in leaving check out:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list

Most countries have these shortage lists. They are how to fast track in.

Edit: There are positions on this list that do not require 4 year degrees, e.g. care aids. They can be tough jobs and low paid, most agencies are shit but it will get you out. You will be helping people.
