Come one come all. My dad and I wrote a crazy weird crime thriller together. It’s about baby eels on the coast of Maine. The book party is Sept 10. Come by. We’d love to say hello. You can preorder signed copies here. https://t.co/c6rqssUAqv

Hank taught me and so many other people so much. He helped wake me up, and wake up a lot of people in the food movement around racial and economic justice, land tenure, and sovereignty. He was generous and ferocious and honest and kind. I will miss him.

Excellent piece by @tomphilpott not just abt Salatin’s racism but abt where farming needs go, @SylvanaquaFarms vision for it, and @farmerclara being an ally

His go-it-alone message made him a star of the food movement. Then a young Black farmer dug into what he was really saying.

Our small rural town's public school just painted over graduating senior Jody Grant's #BlackLivesMatter mural. Working to make sure it leads to change here. #meandwhitesupremacy #EndWhiteSupremacy #FreedomOfSpeech

Essential, yet “Illegal.” Good to see it acknowledged even if it took corona to do so. Let’s remember it after the virus & reform it. Time for empathy, humility & gratitude.
