Things are tough for writers. Reply to this post with a book recommendation - it can be your own book, a friend's book, or just book you really love that's recently come out or is about to drop. I'll start.

However weird you think it is...double that. ;-)
My next book is on diet culture in America and *boy howdy* are we weird about it.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
Pam Bondi seem cunt-y and not in the good way.
I hear you. About to rip up a proposal and glue it back together again.
Sneak peek of tomorrow's very scholarly, very serious online talk on #Spiritualism with @morbidanatomy.

Also, shout out to the scholarship of @sexworkerstyle, who inadvertently inspired it.

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.
Im going to be in NY, NJ, MA, MD, CA and PA with book stuff but check out this coolness with the Grundy Museum.
What can I say? I like a metaphor.
“American History is a gumball machine of racism…. It’s inevitably going to spit out some glob of stale, hard to digest prejudice.”

Ilise Carter, whose book was released today— is not wrong.

Reading several volumes on séances, divination, and mediumship in British and US history.
Thanks so much! Appreciated on all fronts.
Let us make a deal as writers and historians that we all will have pillowy sanctuary if we ever raise the specter of Alan Dershowitz right to carbs.
