This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water. He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

Important article. Nothing burns me up more in the literary space than the same folks who praise dark and mafia romance with their whole chests denigrating urban romance. Tell us why you find one genre acceptable but not the other. I’ll wait.

No, it isn't parents who should decide what kids can read. No, it isn't politicians either. And no, it isn't librarians. Readers are who should decide what they read. Age doesn't come into the right to read. Not sure how many different ways I can say this.

Legend of Zelda is 40 years old and I can't tell you all how much playing Breath of the Wild saved my life in 2020. It helped me rediscover my love of video games, it opened up a world to me while mine was shrinking. Grateful.
