UPDATE: Black women died at a rate nearly 3.5 times higher than white women at childbirth in 2023, and we can expect this to get much worse under Trump with RFK Jr running HHS.

Listening to Emma Galvin read Divergent on Libby for the third time bc her voice calms me down. Maybe if she reads me New York Magazine I'll actually get through it bc I've had the subscription for 5 years and haven't made it through a single issue. #emmagalvin #divergent #writing #libby
