Another beautiful & horrifying must-read novel. A story of hurt, healing & (surprisingly - to me at least) hockey.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.
Why Do Historians Still Have To Go To Archives?
Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

Finding ways to bring knowledge to learners is tough these days. It needs to be accurate, relevant, engaging and accessible. I cast about looking for things like this all the time, explainers that use visuals to tell a story. This is gorgeous. www.abc.net.au/news/deeptime/ #sschat #edusky

John Green has made a very complex story of global health inequities into an entirely accessible & human story. I don't think I've ever read a non-fiction book in one sitting.
Congratulations @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social on writing another exceptional book that will likely be banned.

"A bad thing doesn't stop happening to you just because it stops happening to you. In therapy this is called trauma."
I found this book much more challenging to read than There There. I recommend reading it only when you're feeling well resourced & resilient. An important but very heavy novel.
