When I first met Michele, I walked away from our meeting knowing that this book could genuinely transform how people relate to one another.

Authoritarians can’t overcome local interaction & the power of the collective system.

Page 28 of NOTES ON COMPLEXITY by Neil Theise, observing that authoritarians fail because living human systems are local, not top-down.

Only a few more days to pre-order PUSHBACK by Mary Fissell! On sale next Tuesday, 3/11/25. Abortion has always been a fact of reproductive care, yet periods of pushback are extremely dangerous.

I’ve told this story before, but it’s worth retelling: this book came about in 2017 when I asked Jerome what I needed to know about the Trump admin. He laid out their illiberal philosophies, and contextualized it in history. Every day I’m stunned by how right he is. On sale now.

I was just looking up Klutz books to refresh my husband’s memory of the kids crafting classics. The first *sponsored* book that popped up on an *image search* was for a vile, transphobic Christian nationalist propaganda. Appalling.

Google image search results for “klutz book” that shows several accurate results with one ad for “Jesus and Gender,” a transphobic picture book.

I went digging in my Outlook archive for the 1st time I met Neil, which turns out to be Dec 2017. The subject was Sarah in the In-Between. It was a nonlinear road to here, with a detour into complexity, but such is life & books. The magic of Sarah’s story will change how you understand…everything.

I’m not historically an audiobook listener, but the substance of my days has changed & wonder if listening might solve my problems. Recommendations? Narrative nonfiction, and maybe a good mystery novel… (I’m picky about fiction though Agatha Christie always does it for me)
