    ICYMI: The NYT ran an Op Ed that I wrote. Folks, I am proud of this one because it is all about (and not just in a theoretical sense) closing the gap between front-line climate changed communities and the policies that shape the fabric of their lives.

    A little back story: I just got home from a busy visit to Minneapolis & my awesome indie publisher sent me this spectacular succulent to say thanks for spending time w/ them but REALLY I should be thanking them. The attention and care they show their authors is unsurpassed.
