I'm supposed to be at
Sweet Briar College, where I was so excited to meet with the amazing students, faculty, and staff who organized my visit & made Mobility their Common Read. Hours before my flight I learned about their Board's exclusion of trans & nonbinary people. So now I'm not going.

The tough thing about the job of parenting is the lack of commute. One second I’m dead asleep, the next second I’m playing firemen and I need to put out the fire, no over there, no YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG

I continue to find dark humor in subverting medicine's clinical guidelines.

...or a generalist, for that matter
People who are like “I don’t mind our current clusterfuck of a health care system because people with socialized medicine have to wait six months for an appt” have obviously never had to see a specialist for anything ever

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people
