Kirkus thinks you should read Women's Hotel!

"Lavery has a wonderful ear for a period turn-of-phrase and his prose glitters with humor and affection for human foibles...Readers will be hard-pressed not to read sections aloud to passersby."

we were in a small accident in 2019, too! rear-ended on the Beltway, more damage that time, and my husband needed months of PT. wondering if regular car accidents = just life where we live. :/

yes, an 80yo woman hitting our car (everyone is fine) because she "didn't see" us driving through the intersection was just what we needed this week

Nice to see some coverage of voters who usually get completely ignored. If you have feeling about what they say please sit with that but refrain from yelling or lecturing in my mentions.

just replaced our 10-year-old TV (I know: weird; it’s just never felt like a high priority purchase) and the people on my shows look so real that my brain is having a harder time accepting that it’s fiction? watching Strange New Worlds and it’s basically like I have joined the crew

Thanks, yeah, definitely familiar with (and have quoted and worked a little with) ASAN! They’re great. I’m looking for specific writing, recs, tools, etc. for a first-time autistic parent on parenting with autism!

There’s nothing morbid about needing lifelong help! But I’m primarily looking for resources I can recommend to a first-time autistic parent who is a little overwhelmed at the thought of parenting but wants to have kids

just find it kind of gross to see white people insisting that this country will never elect a Black woman president and therefore everyone needs to shut up about Biden’s age / getting a better candidate. like that’s not the great call to unity you think it is!

Nobody is prepared for this jolt to the legal system. The Supreme Court has shifted an unfathomable amount of power from Congress and the executive brach toward unelected, unaccountable federal judges. This will fundamentally alter how government works. slate.com/news-and-pol...
