Congratulations, Elizabeth!! What a milestone, and what innovative work! Listening as you figured out exactly what you wanted to say and how best to say it has been a highlight of our always-rewarding conversations over the last few years :)

What an exciting mail day! Congratulations to my dear friend Sarah Dimick on her freshly pressed book (out now with @columbiaup.bsky.social)! 🧡
It's great to see you here, Genevieve!! And no worries, your book is only getting more direly on point . . .
Sarah Dimick's new book about disruptions of seasonality in literature from the US to India to Australia hits closer to home with every passing week. I hope it provokes #envhum to turn its attention from the Anthropocene to climate arrhythmias. #acwri draftbydraft.com/portfolio/sa...
Congratulations on that awesome blurb from Bill McKibben, Genevieve!
"People who care about the future will cherish this smart volume, which will turn them into far more effective advocates; it is a genuine gift to the world."' -Bill McKibben, Author of The End of Nature
The UK edition of THE LANGUAGE OF CLIMATE POLITICS is out on Thursday!

Great talk about housing policy and things HUD could try to increase housing access ends, "So those are some things they could do, if the whole agency doesn't disappear."
It's just really surreal going about our days trying to do science right now

Hello everyone! I'm glad to be here, though still getting my bearings.
Last year I founded Draft by Draft with my brilliant colleagues, Julia Dauer and Jess Engebretson. We believe in the power of talk to clarify thinking and writing. draftbydraft.com #acwri #AcademicSky
