Some may remember me posting about the obscure, short-lived (Nov. 1931 - Apr. 1933) LOVE MIRROR a couple months ago—welp, I've now written a whole post about it!

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails
the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

Highly recommend this for lovers of contemporary romance. This rivals-to-lovers story does such a good job of showing how its characters both respect each other's capabilities while also lifting each other up. It is sweet, funny and very real about the struggles of academia.
An Academic Affair is out now in the US and Canada!
I'm really proud of this book - a romantic comedy set in academia, the world I live in - and if you wanted to pick up a copy, that'd make my day. bookshop.org/p/books/an-a...

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.
Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.
That is how we win.

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment.
The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.
