I'm going to spend the next month shouting about how everyone should support bookstores everywhere. (Books make great presents! Lots of bookstores also sell other cool stuff!) But for right now, these bookstores especially need a lot of extra help. We can't do without them.

Volunteered for the very first time to cure ballots; spoke to someone serving overseas, who'd been trying to fix it online; and helped give them a phone number and the deadline. So glad to help get the vote counted!

For a long time I’ve been thinking about why we are so terrified a child will regret a gender transition. This essay ended up being not just about gender but about all of our identities, how they shape us and, crucially, how we shape ourselves. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/o...

Edan Lepucki’s new novel TIME’S MOUTH is out today and it is a cult-filled, California-raised, deeply felt novel of parenthood, time travel, and moving forward. It’s moving, inviting, funny, and fun as hell https://bookshop.org/p/books/time-s-mouth-edan-lepucki/19690858
