What a loss. Mass market paperbacks are the ideal novel format.
Last Call for Mass Market Paperbacks

The hepatitis B vaccination is an essential safety net for newborns.

Without vaccination, as many as 9 in 10 infants infected with hepatitis B in their first year of life will develop chronic infection that can lead to liver failure and death.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms

you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Bookstores would be able to stock more books if publishers stopped putting out 800 page trade tomes that could be edited down significantly and not formatted for book collectors. Anyway long live the MMPB.

It’s almost the end of the year so come in here real close:

You do not want to do a temperature blanket. You don’t. A year is a long time and everyone is falling apart, don’t do this to yourself. Also, it’s gonna make you think really scary thoughts about climate change. Don’t do it.

Jane Austen's 250th birthday is coming up in December and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, acquiring a passion for dead leaves & closet shelves, and taking a fancy to the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

this is a Donors Choose for books at a school in Rogers Park (most of the videos you saw of ICE today were in this Chicago neighborhood), it's only about $400 until it's fully funded.
