After two years of joyful work, I’m thrilled to say that Animals Are People is published in paperback. If folks enjoy reading my novel nearly as much as I enjoyed writing it, this book will be an international bestseller. intertwingled.org/animals-ar…

Here's the second part of my conversation with @morville about big changes. In the first part, I interviewed Peter on his decision to retire from IA consulting. In this conversation, he interviews me about a change I'm making.

"Do not obey in advance," says @TimothyDSnyder. You'll be "teaching power what it can do." There's another reason. The slope from "I did not speak out" to "just following orders" is slippery and steep. Now's the time to build moral habits. Courage is a muscle — use it or lose it.

My whole novel is now available online for free. intertwingled.org/animals-ar… Most of you haven’t read it. You’re too busy. Or perhaps you’re afraid it will make you feel guilty or sad.

As a culture, this is who we are and have always been. But, as humans, this is not who we are or were or want to be. There are ways for us to be better together — it’s happened before, and it will happen again.

Robin Wall Kimmerer says, “The most important thing each of us can know is our unique gift and how to use it in the world.” Animals Are People is my unique gift.

When I say Animals Are People, I get one of two reactions: it’s obvious you're right, or it’s obvious you’re wrong. Either way, I carry on and explain what I mean, because nothing is obvious about the subject of animal personhood. intertwingled.org/animal-per…

My friend @jocelynedin asked me to choose between two book cover designs. Spirit Animals is what I asked for and adorns my paperback. Face to Face is what she painted after reading the novel. I could not choose. So we published a hardcover. It's gorgeous! amazon.com/dp/B0DF77BBB2/
