Trade book reviewing is such a weird economy. I remember once naïvely expressing surprise that a book was reviewed in the popular press by a colleague of the author, and a Big Deal Writer responded: “They don’t call it The New York Review of [My Friends’] Books for nothing!”

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

WV SB 197 is another horrific bill introduced. In addition to charging trans people with a felony if they are within 2500ft of a school, this bill would also force schools to report trans parents to the government. This would criminalize trans people for simply existing.

The US is waging war on the poorest Arab country—a country whose people we helped bomb and starve for years in yet another genocide—in order to protect an unfolding genocide in Palestine. The evil of US imperialism has to be eradicated for the world to know peace.
