I have this idea for a bookstore selling only carefully curated self-published books.
The ads would say “We don’t have that” over & over as customers ask for Maas, King, Yarros, Sanderson, etc.
“Well what do you have?”
“The most incredible books you’ve never heard of.”

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

You can't appease bigots. You give them sports, and then they come at you about bathrooms. Or prisons, or domestic abuse shelters, or puberty blockers, or one of the thousand other fronts they're already attacking trans people on. Better to fight them hard wherever they rear their ugly heads.

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention.

This book has been haunting me since I first read it (Kit's face at the door for anyone who's read it without spoilering it for the rest of you!) Such an interesting sapphic retelling of the governess story with moral quandaries and no easy answers.
