There’s a compost bin close to where I live. It’s for the local University garden. It’s a block away and I walk there with my small metal compost bin every week or so. And, when I get home, particularly in winter, I will find burrs attached to my coat. Sometimes a dozen. There’s a plant nearby that, as its seed propagation strategy makes these pods covered with hooks. All it takes is brushing up against them lightly to get them attached.
This particularly speaks to me and looks like a classic for the years ahead. I've been reading James Baldwin's collected nonfiction while you've been rolling out with this blog and this is up there IMO with Baldwin.

high praise <3
Thank you so much for this. I think it's the catalyst I have been shamefully and secretly seeking for many years.
