you, come set the garden on fire
with all our hard-earned years, tender labor
of being here, ceaseless & volcanic
making of being here, together."

For goddess' sake... post the direct URL to your podcast's RSS feed. You don't have to encourage people to use it. Just put it there, for assholes like me, who don't want to listen to your podcast on fucking Spotify.

We're doing an online book launch for our new book on climate action, equity, and research methods. Register for whichever date works best for you + tune in for some readings, further musings, and good company :)

Google has known about a bug that breaks VPN apps for 7 months, leaving users exposed with no warning or error, just a VPN app that stopped working in the background.

Google's response? "I don't see anything unusual."
