Since it is ‘World Octopus Day’ tomorrow, I’m delighted to announce that Bryher Mackenzie and I have made a second book with Walker Books. ‘Imagine visiting an underwater library, choosing any book you like, and then being taken on a tour of the sea, guided by a friendly octopus librarian. 🐙 📕

Got a hardcover through Bookshop.org so I can support my local bookstore and participate in its new book club. Felt good.

Help me get on a bestseller list! We SOLD OUT our first printing of We’ve Been Here The Whole Time! A Not So Sacred Guide to All Things Native America and we’re in range to maybe get on a big national bestseller list! The list closes on 10/10 and buying a copy before then would be a BIG help!

There are many things to admire about hummingbirds: their shiny feathers, their impressive flying abilities, their fierceness. But when I get a photo like this mostly what I think is LOOK AT THE ITTY BITTY FEETS!!!!! (Ruby-throated Hummingbird) #birds 🌿

Angled-down image of a spiny lizard perched on a rock face, head up and facing right. The lizard's ground color is a brilliant turquoise blue from head to toe, interspersed with darker blue bands spots. There is a black collar on the neck, sandwiched in between two white collars. The rock face is an orangish brown, and there are lines and circle markings incised in the surface, using some percussive technique.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.
