I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

I loved when my grandma hosted parties and all the women threw their coats and purses on top of a designated bed. A chaotic mess. A lost art.

Great book! Get a physical copy for your shelf and the audiobook version just to hear Tam read "The President is a ballsack with sideburns" out loud.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Soad. Soad worked in a maternity ward at a hospital and her husband taught English before the war. They have a 3 year old son, Omar, who was diagnosed with thyroid issues. He has since contracted Hepatitis C because of the conditions in Gaza
