Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes βI love struggling, it makes me feel aliveβ is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

βBeautiful and heartbreaking. Itβs sadly rare to find an author like Schroeder who approaches the non-human with such compassion and respect. A must read.β

IT'S ALIVE ππ¦π¦π§
It was a pleasure and a privilege to edit this book with
@klschroeder.bsky.social, one that I fell in love with straight from the submissions pile. A quiet, aching story that radiates a love of all life while looking death, personal and species-wide, right in the eyes.
