There are 78 days until the end of the year.

If you wrote 600 words every day between now and then you’d have a short novel.

We are loving this book, and when talking about it, one of our booksellers said, "It's like The Thursday Murder Club checked into Bates Motel."

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
