"What if we have all internalized the belief that we are entirely on our own, and that interdependence and cooperation are signs of weakness?
That would be a pretty good way to create a society devoid of any form of collective organising; devoid of much real hope."

My latest review for WSJ Books, on DAUGHTERS OF THE BAMBOO GROVE, by Barbara Demick, an engrossing deep-dive into the Chinese adoption system and how child abductions in the early 2000s have had long-lasting ramifications for families around the world.

Our brains love the colour gradation in rainbows, maybe due to our ancestors searching for sources of water. Looking at plants helps us recover from stress & looking at something we think is beautiful causes dopamine release.

You know you can just not use AI, right?
You can make a choice not to be part of this.
Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.
You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

In the Atlantic Forest, the lowland tapir is at risk of extinction
Lowland tapir populations in the Atlantic Forest in South America are at risk of almost complete disappearance, scientists have estimated. Weighing up to 250 kg, the animal can adapt to most habitats in South America—but its populations continue to decline across their range. Take action for these beautiful irreplaceable animals every time you shop, be #vegan for forests, farmed animals and wild animals and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
