I hope [this book] sparks a bit of empathy with our fellow creatures ... it is a profound act of empathy to try and put yourself in the perspective of someone or something else with a radically different experience of the world than you.

Since he just became a Pulitzer finalist, it's a great day to pre-order @julian_aguon's book about fighting for Indigenous rights and environmental justice. NO COUNTRY FOR EIGHT-SPOT BUTTERFLIES is out in Sept. It's riveting to hear him talk about it.

Happy publication day to Jenny Odell, whose masterpiece—SAVING TIME—I urge you all to buy and read. It’s one of the most important non-fiction books I’ve read in my life.

Oh one more thing: I did an interview with Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, author of Trauma Stewardship, about all of this. Her book is great for those tasked with bearing witness, and she's got a new podcast exploring the issue. /Actual end https://t.co/F5bL1oy8ey
