** We Are Ever So Thankful
------------------------------------------------------------
As we near the end of a very trying year, I’ve found myself mourning the 2020 that wasn’t, and the holiday season that won’t be. The hugs. The carefree family-filled celebrations. The intimate get-togethers with friends.
At the same time, I’ve been feeling especially thankful for the smaller pleasures. The fall leaves on the ground when I go hiking, and the crisp Autumn air. The persimmons now in season, and the pomegranate tree in my parents’ backyard. My cat curled up on my couch while I work from home each day.
There are the big things I’m grateful for too, of course, though they can feel more abstract: My family’s good health. The upcoming transition at the White House. The climate, racial justice, and Indigenous
activists ([link removed]) holding the incoming president accountable for his campaign promises. And how we are learning to move past the false “pilgrims and Indians” Thanksgiving narrative, and beginning to celebrate this upcoming holiday for things all of us hold dear — community, sharing, and gratitude.
I’m also more thankful than ever for my work with the Journal — for work that keeps me motivated to fight the good fight, and that keeps me fulfilled. And I’m deeply thankful for you, our readers, for turning to us as a source of trustworthy environmental news, and for sticking with us through these challenging months. We can’t thank you enough.
Wishing you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday, filled with joys big and small.
Zoe Loftus-Farren
Managing Editor, Earth Island Journal
P.S. I will be on family leave beginning December. You’ll be hearing from Journal contributing editor Austin Price in this space while I’m away. I look forward to rejoining you in the Spring.

** Feet of Clay ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Joel Salatin has long been the US food movement’s most famous farmer. But it seems he has been helping boost the myth of individual farming as a viable model for challenging the industrial food system while working with inherited land and wealth and being a bigot to boot.
