Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.

Well this sounds exquisite.
With anglerfish fever gripping the nation, it's time to recommend my very own anglerfish mermaid book: INTO THE DROWNING DEEP.
