🐰 Down The Rabbit Hole 🕳️
“Meanwhile, out in what is fondly called ‘the real world’ by people who often don't know very much about reality, you are living in a metastasizing machine which is closing in around you, polluting your skies and your woods and your past and your imagination…Most of the things you like are fading away.”
~ Paul Kingsnorth, Against The Machine, p. xiv
