“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

yeah, it may be a bleak time to read nonfiction, but this book is all that was described below. Also the audio book is excellent. I strongly recommend reading this to prepare for what may be ahead, and well done Talia Lavin on writing such an eloquent book about heavy material!
just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes:

TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.

It also had a large chronically ill community.

The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.

Merry Christmas, everyone, even Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah @regenceutah.bsky.social, who is currently denying coverage of a cancer drug for my wife's breast cancer treatment. You are the Scrooge/Grinch in this Christmas story. But you can have a change of heart. You can be different. 💗
