@robdelaney.bsky.social I have been reading A Heart That Works the last few nights, thank you for writing it and sharing Henry and your family’s experience. I have five kids and relate on a deep level with how you write about your relationship with your boys. I hope you and your family are well.

@ckunzelman.bsky.social just got to the end of the first Shelved By Genre Hobbit episode from last week, and per your instruction I sprinted to social media to cast a vote for the creation of a podcast about raising baby Chauncey 🗳️

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Very weird to be living through this stuff. My first instinct is to do a joke about it but then I realize that’s a defense mechanism against expressing sincere outrage because I feel so helpless. This will cause so much unnecessary death and human misery and it sucks.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.
