For @bioGraphic, I wrote about an age-old tradition in Norway that illuminates the bond between wild ducks, wild places, and the people who care for both.

Immense gratitude for @cestmoiLanglois's and @Sarah_Gilman's loving editorial shepherding.

Science created summer oysters. But with warming temperatures, experts are trying to make oysters more resilient to climate change.

In the meantime, consumers might have to readapt their oyster-eating habits, @Devon_Fred reports for @hakaimagazine: https://t.co/j6SoLRP9EW

Science created summer oysters. Climate change could doom them. @Devon_Fred reports for @hakaimagazine: https://t.co/AKzYkQln2B

Until @Devon_Fred approached me w/ this story, I didn't know that selectively-bred oysters had untethered oyster consumption from natural oyster life cycles. As climate change threatens these shellfish, does our enjoyment need to become more seasonal?

"It’s a strange and unique connection. A wild animal directly connected to humans."

Loved this @devon_fred/@bioGraphic story on the odd, beautiful relationship between eiders and their Norwegian nest defenders.

"A duckling snatched by a hungry gull might seem no more than a brutal reality of nature, but to this 57-year-old Norwegian, the common eider ... is a beloved friend." @Devon_Fred for @bioGraphic, reprinted by @hakaimagazine #longreads https://t.co/ppyFBtr8fK

Loved hearing @lsjamison speak last night at Powell’s about the stories that get lodged inside us—that reshape our bodies and lives.

Today I meditated on the grilled cheese sandwich I was going to eat after I finished meditating.

When you buy your sister-in-law a nice, new hardcover book for Christmas, then start reading it, then can't stop reading it, promising yourself you'll keep it pristine before wrapping it, and then, with 15 pages left, spill your bowl of oatmeal on it.

For 2022, I want to read a lot of short story collections written by old women who’ve seen and done a lot of shit and are past caring what you think about them.

[Devon Fredericksen @Devon_Fred]

This essay on mentorship, love, and loss by @amimsical wrenched my heart into a knot.

Has anyone else noticed the abundance of new movies and shows coming out that are all anchored in the central premise that the world is ending?
