Thanks to Barry @TheHudsonIndy for these great questions about The Glass Eel. https://t.co/aKU9Qx4lv5

Our new novel, The Glass Eel, started as a father-son project and grew into a thriller about greed, smuggling & survival on Maine’s coast.

The Portland Press Herald @PressHerald just featured the book—and the wild true stories behind it.

Come one come all. My dad and I wrote a crazy weird crime thriller together. It’s about baby eels on the coast of Maine. The book party is Sept 10. Come by. We’d love to say hello. You can preorder signed copies here. https://t.co/c6rqssUAqv

Hank taught me and so many other people so much. He helped wake me up, and wake up a lot of people in the food movement around racial and economic justice, land tenure, and sovereignty. He was generous and ferocious and honest and kind. I will miss him.

Excellent piece by @tomphilpott not just abt Salatin’s racism but abt where farming needs go, @SylvanaquaFarms vision for it, and @farmerclara being an ally https://t.co/vno9d29yOv

#bobdylan was wrong. You DO need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Our school painted over graduating senior Jody Grant’s memorial to black people killed by police. With white paint. She wants everyone in the town to know that black lives matter and that we #paintwithjody Signs… https://t.co/k7p6l597Wy

Essential, yet “Illegal.” Good to see it acknowledged even if it took corona to do so. Let’s remember it after the virus & reform it. Time for empathy, humility & gratitude. https://t.co/wr4QXKGv52
