1. This is a thread about Horticultural Extrapolation. Not something you're likely to have thought about, but it's time some people did. What is it? It's projecting the mechanics of fruit and veg growing onto the entire food system. It's surprisingly common, and frequently leads people astray. 🧵

My first children's book is out today in the US, Canada and Australia (and some UK booksellers too)! An accessible book on climate justice, HOPE, holding on to big feelings, capitalism, white supremacy and race, histories of resistance and what young people can do about it all. I'm so proud of it.
