“A new similar book” 👀 if it’s anything like The Scottish Boy it’ll be a great read!
Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.

The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt

I first read The Scottish Boy through Libby/my library and loved it so much I bought a physical copy (with beautiful illustrations!).

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.

Supreme court:

Also Supreme court: yes, you CAN consider race when determining legal status

Don't know how to tell y'all that it's actually not okay to gloat over anyone drowning in a flood, whether they're kids or adults or who they voted for.

Also a lot of you have really bought into the idea that everyone who lives in a red state is automatically a Trump supporter.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide.

This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

It’s a facile point but “gender ideology” is such a capacious and imprecise term—never actually defined, so it can mean anything. And it’s used almost exclusively by people advancing their own, highly specific and prescriptive ideology of gender.

I’m reading a Toni Morrison interview from 2002 and my, my, my: “America is a nation of immigrants, and one of the greatest needs of immigrants is to feel at home. How do you do that? One way is to hate Blacks. That makes you White. American.”

Finally watched Happiest Season. Yeah, Aubrey Plaze has way too much chemistry with Kristen Stuart for it to make sense that Kristen ends up getting back together with her girlfriend.

Anyone looking for a book that entwines the queer experience (or one person’s trans/queer experience) with the beautiful oddities of the oceans go read Sabrina Imbler’s How Far the Light Reaches!
