@robgmacfarlane.bsky.social is a hero of mine, so I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to think about his important new book for @edgeeffectsmag.bsky.social . What felt apparent to me is that rivers, and the fight for their personhood, can fight fascism.

I got to review this incredible book for @readbookpage.bsky.social and can say with full confidence this will be one of my best books of the year. Long live The Hare.
Chloe Dalton’s magical, endearing account of bonding with a wild hare is an enchanting meditation on what we gain when we allow the natural world to teach us.

How Title IX would factor into schools' revenue-sharing decisions has been a lingering question.

It’s been a minute since I posted something I wrote, but getting to review the amazing Neko Case’s memoir for BookPage felt so special. From one critter to another.
