Living, briefly, through the Mexico drought makes me think Kyle Paoletta is doing a good work with his upcoming book American Oasis, in that wherever we are going with the climate crisis "we must understand where the Southwest has already been" — and I finally get it a little, what Jesse Hirsch is doing with Ambrook Research because agriculture matters which Sarah Cooke said all along when we published Currant's Climate, Changed series back in 2022 on the Yakima Valley plums and two years later, Kaveh Akbar says to a room poetry inspires action and I am shoveling commercial volumes of mulch at Red Hook Farms across from the Amazon warehouse, 48 hours later still sore in the underarm.

What is your mulch?


My ad/media/creative people: I'm going to Cannes Lions on June 17-21, with our CMO and Partnerships Director from NewtonX. We'll be premiering research with Transmission and LinkedIn. Let me know if you'll be there too — would love to meet up.
