I’ve recently discovered my local library. We may be a small city library but it feels *so* good to walk in and see familiar anthro texts on the shelves.

If you have published a book within the last 12 months (library rules), let me know and I will make it my mission to see that it’s acquired! ✨

LA City Council Supervisor Kathryn Barger just publicly compared the destruction caused by the California wildfires to a “third world country.” Again, incredible the disconnect and superiority that the U.S. continues to portray as it is ravaged year after year by disasters of their own making.

All that the media repeats are phrases that relate California’s wildfires to a “war zone.” The ironies are heartbreaking. From G*za to California, climate and development are at the crux of suffering and devastation. Today I feel a profound sense of loss, defeat and hopelessness.

“Since 1993 almost half of California’s new homes have been built in fire hazard areas. Yet, as a contemporary Galileo might say of defensible space, ‘still it burns.’“

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

If you're like me & are currently finalizing your syllabus, you should add this book to your course. Really.

My students & I had the opportunity to read a final draft, and it’s SO GOOD!
It sparked thoughtful, thought-provoking conversations. Plus, it’s open access!

This confirms worries that the new Trump admin might empower the corrupt forces opposed to #Guatemala’s elected president. The Florida Republican Party has invited the attorney-general, currently banned from entering the US due to “significant corruption,” to attend inaugural events:
