The Lost Forest Gardens of Europe - an excellent essay on mesolithic and neolithic food production; not quite farming and not quite just gathering, and the way in which this evolved into complex mixed agriculture/arboriculture in some areas, which just about survive in the face of capitalism now.
The Nut Age - an excellent paper about mesolithic and neolithic tree use, and the concept that hazelnuts were a staple food for early post-glacial settlers in Europe. It also mentions the use of crushed dogwood stones for oil extraction. I'm not familiar with dogwoods as a species, and that they have fruits is news to me. I think I've seen them in Finland and Sweden, though.
The Rot at the Root - an analysis of the messages in Captain Planet and FernGully (the latter a film I have never heard of before).
Networked Up - vanlife and digital nomadicism in North America. Not a strong recommendation, it has to said.
Found: A Mysterious, Recipe-Filled Diary From 1968 - I adore this stuff. I used to go through old desks and cabinets in auction houses when I was in my teens, looking for things like this, but I never found anything better than an account book for a motor-parts dealer.
Once Upon A Time, There Was Cottagecore - I don't know that I'd call this analysis of cotagecore, but it's definitely commentary. Invokes Taylor Swift, the non-binary-ness of cottagecore, and also doesn't appear to quite grok it.
Aaaaaand Defining the 90s music canon by seeing what bits of it other generations recognise.
