This book has everything: cringe 2000s-era fandom, toxic friendships, a sociopathic twink, sublimated trans feelings, Quakers, and 9/11.

So I’ll have to go back sometime to learn how that came about. Why here, in this random spot in rural Maine?
I did get to admire many pieces of blue-green stone, like fluorite, watermelon tourmaline, and one called Elbaite I hadn’t heard of before. Apparently it’s another kind of tourmaline.

This activist with Jews for Peace, Morgan, has important things to say and also an excellent fit. Love that Gays for Zohran shirt!
