Finally I can share this here in all its glory. Besides conveying the vibe of my book perfectly, I also resonate with this design personally more than I knew I could reasonably expect. I’m obsessed. I’m in love with it. I hope you love it, too.

Really, spreading covid was one thing when we didn’t know how to stop it, but continuing for years after we’ve known that combo masks, vaccines and air purification work wonders together, why are we still behaving like we’re in the dark ages and have to catch this thing?

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.
New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

I really hope the Senate kills the trans care felony bill. And the Medicaid HRT ban for adults likely to pass the House tomorrow. I really do. Not sure what else to say but call your senators. It's worked before.

Borrowing from the library (physical or digital!) is free and supports authors and their careers, making it more likely they will get to publish more books. Pirating a book does none of this. It’s a purely selfish choice, and I wish people would just own that and stop pretending it’s noble.

Also to situate this in context, a bookstore selling more than 20 copies of my last book means they want to host an event with me for my next one. Each book purchase is hugely influential. If you can give the gift of books this season, do it please.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Some folks have brought this up in comments, but just saying... maybe we should ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION to the multitude of studies showing COVID infections (even "mild" ones) cause brain changes and ongoing cognitive decline. We've been letting our young people get COVID over & over & over again.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
