I can't tell you how many times that Ira Glass quote has come up in my life. It's completely changed my perspective, if not changed my life, much like your Futurama article and so much of your writing. I'm so excited for your book and so grateful to Beth for being a catalyst in its publication. Can't wait to pre-order and book club the heck out of it. Best of luck!

Such a heartening story — lovely to get a glimpse of the journey so far. Look forward to chipping away at the back catalog!

I joined partway through the Patreon era when, a few lonely months living into a new city, I discovered the concept of solarpunk and tried to find everything I possibly could that people were making about this idea. A few years later and I'm maybe doing more practical solarpunk stuff (fixing things, gardening, lots of community building around bikes) than reading about but that's okay I love having lots of ideas in my toolbox! And I have so appreciated this newsletter, I've sent heaps of the pieces to other people, your ideas are so clarifying. Also love reading about the journey to getting a book deal as someone not in a major centre - so excited to read it when it's ready!
