It’s fine because I’m by myself, but I’m shocked at how grumpy I am.

I’m mad because I spent too much on groceries and lost a bus pass. Neither is high stakes for me, I’m just super annoyed with myself.

Don't stop searching for joy.
Track it down if you can.
Look in cluttered bookstores, historic theaters, haunted playgrounds, and misty moors.
Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

Had a fascinating conversation w a dozen sex workers today—ages 25-60ish, some w their infants w them. Main takeaway: USAID cuts hit their work HARD, not just bc ppl who lost their jobs are also now doing sex work, but bc USAID projects led to conferences whose attendees hired them (& no longer do)

I feel silly publicizing a book in these times BUT my book describes how constitutional structures allowed the accumulation of generational wealth + rights for settlers and white people. These are the same advantages MAGA is trying to preserve today. Pre-order page:

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”
