Suffering from tribblewips?

What in the 1995 Draft Version of Toy Story crap was that?

Having my church I've been part of for 15 years (served on the board, youth advisor for half a decade) decide that disabled people don't matter, after I advocated as hard as I could for them to view masking as an act of community care, and to offer *some* masked events if nothing else. Nope.

Having been a history professor at a top R-1 research institute known for STEM, this is 100% true. The STEM majors think history and social science courses are a waste of time, but to be fair, they've been overtly told this by their parents, administrators, and politicians (NCLB, teach to the test).

I am so, so sorry. In my personal life (not author life) I am heavily involved in our COVID-safe community, helping people to get free rapid tests and masks, working on food rescue for immunocompromised people, and working with non-profits. The level of denial and victim blaming is horrifying.

Right? 4 of my books were used without my permission in Books3. I LOVE -- let me stress, LOVE -- em dashes.

My family is immunocompromised, and we have been painfully hurt by "open minded" friends & colleagues who abandoned disabled and immunocompromised people like us over the last few years. It's harder to talk with these folks than with close-minded people, who are at least blunt with their rejection.

OH WOW, THANK YOU!! What a fantastic review for me to read!

And yes, I keep thinking Jared needs a book. Nabeel, well... I agree he can't get back together with his ex LOL. <3

And he refused to do any household/childcare tasks. Wouldn't "let" her hire them out. Wasn't emotionally supportive. Her success was "luck" and a source of shame for him. I felt so bad for her. My husband is the exact opposite.

I will never forget being at a conference, sitting with a friend earning half a million a year, and how she told me her husband expected her to still do ALL the stay-at-home-mom tasks. Cooking/cleaning/chauffeuring/homework/etc. while he earned about 1/10th of her and derided her career. Wild.

Stuffed animal.

My older kids' pediatrician saw children die from this in the 1990s. When we were vaccinating our youngest, I mentioned a delayed schedule (we were moving and using a new ped for our baby) and he emphatically told me not to skip/delay Hib. We didn't.
