Buffalo show us our connection to ourselves and others. This month I hope you get out there and spread some Buffalove. With all the awful events swirling around us, Buffalo are a wonderful reminder of the impact we can have together. 🦬

My first visit to Boston to moderate a discussion about Joseph Lee's new book "Nothing More of This Land". It's about community, power, and Indigenous Identity and I cannot reccomend it enough. lnkd.in/e8tgwqKC Thanks to the Museum of Science for flying me out for this wonderful event.

The Eastern Shoshone this month voted to classify buffalo as wildlife instead of livestock. The vote indicates a growing interest to both restore buffalo on the landscape and challenge the relationship between animal and product. The latest from @siisiiko.bsky.social. grist.org/indigenous/w...

Bison, not prison: Activists buy a prison site to rewild the land

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
