2025-03-25 19:53:50 +0000 UTCVinny I recommend picking up "On Longing: Narratives of the Miniature, the Gigantic, the Souvenir, the Collection" by Susan Stewart. It's an insightful exploration on how nostalgia and material culture subsist from a desire for an impossible return to some kind of ‘authentic’ past. It's one of those rare books that change the scale of time after you've read it
