An old Swedish idiom for someone who isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer is hjulet snurrar men hamstern är död. It means “the wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead.”
* this is, of course, also the title of one of my books (and did I mention it makes the PERFECT last-minute Christmas gift?)

Webster is fired from the library.
Depressed on Christmas Eve, he climbs the town bridge.
Merriam arrives & shows him what the world would have been like without him.
His faith restored, he gets off the bridge and kisses her.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
