Because 2025 = 45² and 45 is a triangle number, we get these lovely sums:
2025 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)²
2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³
Pleasingly the next triangle number 55 is 10 more, so get ready for a repeat of this fact in the year 3025.

People have (in general) been so cool about me writing a nonfiction book about tuberculosis instead of another YA novel. I really appreciate how nice people have been about this. I am on the far, far edge of the Good Fortune Bell Curve when it comes to the generosity of readers.

Yesterday, ICE raided a business in New Jersey and detained both citizens and non-citizens — without a warrant. They even detained a U.S. military veteran.
Nobody is safe.
