You know what's awesome? When I post about a new title, flip over to email and find a bunch of people actually bought it and are reading. This is not, in my experience, how social media book promo works in general, and it feels great, like we got a real community going here, bots or no bots

In this newsletter, I cover Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and talk about art and fiction from Indigenous Canada. #orangeshirtday #ecofiction buttondown.com/dragonfly.ec...

Renan Bernardo gifted these lovely words about T. K. Rex's THE WILDCRAFT DRONES. "Wealthy people seem to be reading dystopias as rulebooks ... Instead, I'd say for people to read The Wildcraft Drones as a rulebook of how to live in community and find a healthy path to our future." Thanks, Renan!

As @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explains here, when the US admin ended the NASA climate modeling group's office lease, they were kicked out of their building -- and "have been kind of couch surfing at various NYC universities and libraries" since then. Unbelievable. Read more here:
