The class of 2020 high school graduates experienced no in-person graduation ceremonies, no dance, no peer camaraderie to mark the end of their schooling after having just spent 3 1/2 months of online school. The frustrations continued for Danielle as she attempted to select a university to attend, only to have her choices limited and subsequently changed by the university at the last minute.

The Ezra Klein ShowHow ‘Being Animal’ Could Help Us Be Better HumansOne of the oldest human ideas is that we are somehow different from animals, somehow superior to them. That’s a mistake, argues the environmental philosopher Melanie Challenger. “Many of the things we most value — our relationships, the romantic sensations of attraction and love, pregnancy and childbirth, the pleasures of springtime, of eating a meal — are physical, largely unconscious and demonstrably animal,” she writes in her book “How to Be Animal: A New History of What It Means to Be Human.” The consequences of resisting our fellowship with other species, she argues, have been devastating to them and to the planet.
