SPONSOR THIS NEWSLETTER, MASTERCLASS, YOU COWARDS.

I do love the folk in this world who embody calm, polite stubbornness to keep moving forward towards a better place of understanding and genuine empathy, despite all the excitable doomerism and scornful cynicism and white-hot fury that the world isn't yet perfect in some way or other. And Jane was the best of those folk. She sailed through it all, showing that sailing through while doing our best is also a choice we have.

Also, the Sketch Your Mind conference looks terrific - and nice to see Dave Gray's also a speaker, because there's another person with an excellent brain.

Her life and work were impressive. I've followed her and known about her involvement with animals in the wild since I was a kid in the 1970s. It's significant that she identified and articulated the connection between a problem in the natural world and the human economic condition. When people are poor, hungry, and desperate, the things around them suffer.
