As a huge reader, I really appreciated this email. Adding a bunch of these to my list. I would also recommend Body Full of Stars by Molly Caro May.

I just finally got around to Body Full of Stars and wowza. So good. Thank you for recommending it. I may do an entire post about it, or at least include it in my recap of the best books I read this year.

What would a just and parent-friendly/supporting society look like? Does one exist? One with common ground problem-solving, systemic re-visioning? Denmark, Sweden Iceland, Finland come galaxies closer than America, even though not perfect. Vote for living wages, non-stigmatized abortion access and paid parental leave!

Agreed that those three things are so essential to helping us get to equality. Thanks for your support!

I enjoy your posts! I get a lot of hope from the organizing that's happening, especially on the repro justice front, all over the country.
