I guess what it comes down to is, ICE and antivaxx worry me, and the possibility that some centrist you find annoying is succeeding professionally simply doesn't rank. I cannot be convinced me that the worst of MAGA is the fault of whomst among the not-MAGA you happen to find most annoying.

This is round 2 of it, but yes, they last long! I'm well aware my bras are the least of it, quite possibly even for my own household.

The Blackwell's link recommended by Emma at the end of the interview didn't work for me, but the good news is Father Figure hardcover is coming to Australia, and is available in e-book and audiobook forms now.

Trump Trump Bari Trump Trump Sports Trump. Meanwhile if I were to post about wondering when the bras I ordered in mid-September will be released from Canada Post strike limbo, you'd be like, these times are too serious for that.

I think the thing that I find most hmm about this platform is how everything non-US-politics feels like you're interrupting a conversation unless it's sports, sports are apparently fine?

This was a fascinating interview to do with an extraordinary writer living, unfortunately, in extraordinary times.

The short version: if you're wondering why people who claim to be antizionists would view physical attacks on diaspora Jews as productive, you have to separate out different things falling under that heading. Because there is a split on this matter!
