Hoping to connect with other readers of contemporary romance. I also enjoy cozy mystery and SF, but lately romance has been my jam and I'd like to find people to chat with about what we're reading. If you want to connect for that, please chime in. 🧡

Considering the goal of public health leaders has been to make COVID endemic, this would be a great time for them to explain why that's a good thing.
Were they just trying to get it everywhere so they could use that as an excuse for failing to do anything, or is there some sort of plan here?

Transphobia is a lot of things. One - ONE OF A NUMBER - is a jangling set of keys, desperately shaken at the most hateful people, to keep them from paying attention to boring ol' climate change.

So many takes about Democrats being cowards, or stupid, or naive, or whatever. They’re bought. Everything they do makes sense if you stop assuming they’re representative of anyone but a few big donors.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

Disabled people tried to warn you.
We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone
The new healthcare plan for America appears to be:
Don’t get sick
If you do get sick, it’s your fault
If you can’t pay, die

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.
We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

The 8 Dems who voted against ACA are embracing eugenics.
This decision will disproportionately harm disabled people.
Many Disabled people have pre existing conditions & won’t be able to afford insurance.
Many live in legislated poverty.
Guess we aren’t dying fast enough for them

The fact that rich people are buying up the media and politicians, and using up the remaining carbon budget is very bad for everyone.

Sounds like it's all policy.
I love this expectation that politicians lie to voters, but actually intend to do the bidding of the investor class.

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

This is commonly referred to as Kristallnacht.
However, Raoul Wallenberg Foundation & more groups note it's the “Nazi term for the event” and “make[s] little of what befell the Jews of Germany and Austria on these days. We must recognize that there were a lot more broken than glass.”

The b*tch of people pleasing is that anyone in your life who makes you feel like you need to scramble for their approval probably isn't going to eventually say "that's good enough, you've earned it, you can relax now."

This Libby hold came up, and I liked the author's other book ("One on One") so much that I'm bumping this to the front of the line.
It's described as an "estranged friends-to-lovers" story, and I do like the friends-to-lovers trope.
