What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Oh lord, I was both.
You’re a journalist, honey. A School Newspaper kid. You are maybe one notch above us theater kids. Be real.
I'm gonna give Bluesky a try but so far it's still dominated by what I can best describe as "theater kid energy" or "the vibes of an RA trying to organize a dorm activity"

That the School by the Sea series is not more well known is truly a shame; it's sweet and tender toward the adult and the adolescent characters and comes with a hearty helping of Colgan's sharp humor.

My number one rule of publishing professionalism: There are a lot of assholes, as in everything, but do your best not to be one. (Wonderful book people outnumber the assholes about 10 to one, in my experience. And the assholes make their lives harder too.)
