adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.

children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

the way my partner talks about my ocd is so hilariously on point. for context, i experience a lot of verbal compulsions (feeling like i Have to Say a Certain Thing to magically fix another) and he just told me. "most of the time it's easy to spot a compulsion cause literally nobody asked"

jessica really said “god forbid women do anything” and doomed an entire people to war by installing her twink son as a false prophet by stealing her cult’s 10,000 year old breeding program propaganda

There are freshly independent possums scattered around my yard like fat little Easter eggs trotting through the grass and bricks at dusk.

Early in the process of writing my new book

about nature, awe, and mental health,

I titled the project Something in the Woods Loves You.

I honestly didn’t think that title

would survive rewrites and rounds of edits,

but it did. And I’m glad it did.

Something in the Woods Loves You.

That simple sentence is the heart

of what I feel beneath the trees

and what I want to pass on to readers.

I’m very proud of this book.
