MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.
Sometimes it hurts to grow -- but your community believes that you can be made pure.
It comes out in May.

I've just finished Sarah's latest and have read all her previous novels. Therefore, I will approach this novel the same way: with excitement and utter terror for the emotional apocalypse it will wreak on me

Realistically? Build community networks. Research local charities. Learn low cost food recipes and make physical copies. See what services your library offers. Consider access to media, including physical. Find a rec center. Greet your neighbors, borrow things if you can. Learn local tenant laws.
if you were wondering how to prepare for a recession, the advice on the internet is “have a lot of liquid savings” and “don’t lose your job” 👍 very helpful, who could have predicted “having money saved” and “having income” would help a situation

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

I think that superhero movies have done a number of human beings conditioning some people to believe that extraordinary actions are what matter. And if one can't be a superhero, then simple, ordinary efforts aren't worth doing.

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

Apologies to be yet again pushy but I have two different tests next week [stress test and ct colonography] that requires a roughly $65+ round trip transportation bill alone for one visit. Im sorry to constantly whine about costs. Things are...rough.
I'll do my best to update the gfm this week but tldr;
Had hospitalization #4. Diagnosed with IIH after a lumbar puncture. Gotta do a whole other type of imaging since my colon is weird & im still bleeding & got pain and other issues. Struggling to afford transportation.
