Friends, please welcome the one and only Yangyang Cheng (@yangyang_cheng) to this 🐘 herd.

For her first "tooot," she shared her LARB essay, "The Land Is a Body," in which she reviewed Ruth Rogaski's Knowing and my Carbon Technocracy—a particularly apt choice because of the mention of mastodons.

Do check out the rest of her #writing too, perhaps beginning with this powerful piece on the recent protests:
