Hey if we want to encourage people to build more community, maybe a piece on how community is connected to contracting lice multiple times is NOT the way to do it.

I’ve Had Lice Five Times. I Secretly Love It. Hear Me Out.
I wouldn't trade away my lice for anything.

I'm not a fan of Gavin Newsom, but I'm a fan of Democrats fighting back aggressively and creatively against fascism instead of playing the same tired game of hoping things just work out.
I wish others with a national profile would have the guts to fight back aggressively and creatively, too.

May Wrap-Up!
Even though I didn't rate all of these 5 stars, my faves this month were Daddy's Gone A-Hunting, Hild, and Slewfoot. Maeve Fly was the most disappointing read of the month (and, so far, of 2025). Also, would not have found The Dance of Rotten Sticks without #booksky !

Here is a thing you can do to support trans people today. Find your reps' info at reps.fyi or 5calls.org.
🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care.
Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!

Medicaid work requirements will cause people to lose their coverage, not because they aren't working/volunteering/going to school, but bc of the admin burden of proving it. This is a feature, not a bug.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

I've fallen off doing weekly #nonfiction recs due to, idk, depression? While I gather the spoons to resume, let me update this one w The Island of the Lost by Joan Druett. Fascinating read on 2 groups of shipwreck survivors. Impressive ingenuity w some interesting group contrasts.

This was worth the read. Somewhat reminiscent of early King (particularly the loving, flawed, alcoholic father), but shorter. The tension between Isaac and his MIL is well done. Quick read but a slow burn til the end when things escalate dramatically. 4/5 stars. Full review is linked.

If you've ever given birth, think about going through *all of that* from conception through age 5 knowing that the chance of any baby making it to kindergarten was basically a coin flip.
In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday.
By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children.
Today, in 2025, that number is *7*
And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology.

This is precious.
There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

Currently reading Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1915) and have just read that in Herland the women "had pockets in surprising number and variety." Because of COURSE and all-female society would place a huge emphasis on clothing with functional pockets. #booksky💙📚
