I am a fool.
Is this a nearly 40 minute video that's largely a way of me complaining about how much I find Futurism to be an annoying publication? I dunno...who's askin'?
The citations in here are both those directly supporting claims made in the video and further reading I think you'd enjoy if you made it all this way. If I'm honest, I doubt this will be the last microplastic video I make if my career has any longevity.

| The detailed hand illustrations of gymnosperms from an old German encyclopedia Brockhaus' Konversations-Lexikon (1892) | I don't know German so idk about how accurate the encyclopedia still is overall but the illustration is on Page 599. There's a VERY impressive illustration of pollen in the Ps section book. Also, there's a lot of upsetting 1800s 'scientific' racism illustrations in there. |
