I was interviewed by my friend @shaneburley.bsky.social about Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis. "Refusing to give up in apocalyptic times is an act of love, and in some ways, it’s an act of faith — it’s about making a commitment to what’s sacred to us."
The World Is Falling Apart. In a New Book, Activists Help Us Piece It Together.
“Sometimes we rescue each other with words,” says organizer Kelly Hayes, discussing her powerful new anthology.

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk.
