My true crime consumption consists mostly of podcasts, but having followed the Delphi trial last year, I was eager to read Shadow of the Bridge: The Delphi Murders and the Dark Side of the American Heartland by Áine Cain and Kevin Greenlee. Disturbing, heartbreaking, and captivating.

Wild, that some people that look at Project 2025 and dismiss it, when 23,000 people in Texas had to birth their rapist’s baby last year, a parent has to sign an affidavit each time their child goes to the library in Idaho, and there’s an open war on Trans people.

When my mom miscarried, my dad thought he was going to lose her. All he could do was get her to the ER, and then wait and pray. Fortunately for my mom and dad, the doctors didn't have to worry about being arrested for performing an emergency D&C. Mom's life was saved, and Dad was spared from grief.

You cannot claim to be "prolife" while insisting that women can be denied emergency medical care during miscarriages.

ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR: I take Maimonides' texts on "repentance"-- I read as abt owning harm, transformation for changed behavior & amends, & centers the victim, & I apply them not only to interpersonal situations, but also to institutional, national, systemic.
We've all been harmed, & harmed.

TELL BLUESKY MORE ABOUT YOUR BOOK PLEASE!

Unspoken but also, "when the blacks were in their place." The halcyon days of obligatory heteronormative gender identity and performance were also, not coincidental, the halcyon days of white supremacy, slavery and colonization. 
What a weird little laundry list of gripes. Lots to unpack.

One thing I hope became abundantly clear this year is the controversy over the mere inclusion of trans people in athletics was simply laying the ground for controversies over the mere inclusion of trans people in any public sphere whatsoever.
