Another starred review for my forthcoming book SHE WHO KNOWS: Firespitter. This one from Kirkus Reviews. ⭐️!

Project 2025 includes the call to “outlaw” porn. If you want to understand what they mean by that? Look to what these groups are already fighting “porn,” and their connections to anti-gender movements outside the US. I start that analysis here:

"Imagine a world in which GOP president Donald Trump vetoes the national abortion ban that is sent by a GOP Congress. You cannot imagine that world, because it doesn't exist."

It always astounds me how cartoonishly stupid the far right are. For all their highbrow talk of classical western civilization and obsession with IQ they're just a bunch of losers yelling at meteorologists for not making the weather be good.
