You're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but in this case, I think it's appropriate. Beautiful cover, beautiful writing!

For $6.99, you might get 2-3 items at the grocery store. For the same amount, you can learn why our food system is the way it is and how it can be better. Check out @islandpress.bsky.social ebooks like Barn Gothic, Bet the Farm, Healing Grounds, and many others!

The Georgia public utility commissioner election may be a bell weather, but it's also important in its own right. These candidates made the connection between renewable energy and lower bills, and Georgia voters responded. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

I can't look at these faces without thinking about my sweet pup and the horror of her living in a cage like this.
There is still time to read the great selections on the summer reading list from @sightline.org including Arbitrary Lines by @mnolangray.bsky.social and Bet the Farm by Beth Hoffman @islandpress.bsky.social @emilyturner2000.bsky.social
A related question: Do you ever respond to the "People Who Think They Know Better and Write Aggrieved Emails to Publishing Houses”?
Two beautiful and challenging (in the best sense of the word) lines by poet Andrea Gibson (8/13/1975 - 7/14/2025):
"Everyone knows what you're against; show them what you're for."
"Why did I go so long believing I owed the world
my disappointment?"
I don't know why I was shocked to receive this email, but I was. Propaganda directly from a government agency felt like a new low.
Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine.
It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions.
The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.
I just had this conversation at my book club last week:

Book cover to "Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America" by Sharon Udasin and Rachel Frazin, two reporters for The Hill.
The #DOD used firefighting foam with toxic #PFAS for decades, knowing it contaminated water and was linked to serious health issues.
New book by @rachelfrazin.bsky.social and @sharonudasin.bsky.social -- #PoisoningTheWell: How #ForeverChemicals Contaminated America.

Great book out Tuesday that was my pleasure to participate in. Poisoning the Well, an exposé of #PFAS coverup & firsthand look at the communities suffering. Superman’s not coming: see how people are fighting back. By journalists @sharonudasin & @RachelFrazin

A wonderful review for @schwartzstein.bsky.social
“The Heat and the Fury is an extraordinary work that advances the scholarship on climate security in a text that is as accessible to newcomers as it is enriching for academic specialists.”

Thank you, Sen. Ossoff!
Thank you, Sen. Warnock!
Capitulation is not leadership. When will Democrats learn that bowing down to the right wing is not the answer?
Tom Henry @sejorg.bsky.social calls The Heat and Fury by @schwartzstein.bsky.social "bold, ambitious, incredibly researched and deftly written."

I know I just said I prefer paper books, but if a book I want is $4.99, I will definitely read on screen! That's the case for books from Island Press until 3/2, so charge up your tablet and learn how to protect our threatened world: www.islandpress.org/bestseller-499
Well-deserved praise!
After fighting with my tablet all week, I realize another reason that, for me, paper will always be the better technology: it never runs out of power.
@jmingle.bsky.social is on a roll with the awards - as he should be!
