As a group we are incredibly liberal. The very loud right-wing Jewish voices are a tiny minority of us.

If a small press wants to give you a digital-only, royalty-based multibook deal for books that haven't yet been written, run. Lots of small presses use this royalty structure because they have no assets, and this allows them to offload nearly all risk to you. 3322124

Probably the first thing to be said about Naomi Kritzer's chilling Obstetrix is that it's pretty effective as a horror thriller, but the horror she's writing about is mostly with us already – toxic groupthink, malignant patriarchy, oppressive religiosity, and the legislative appropriation of women's bodies.

Matthew Taber-Hanson @matthewtaberhanson.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Do appreciate this headline coming from NPR. The more I hear about "One Night Only" the worse it sounds.

Matthew Taber-Hanson @matthewtaberhanson.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I think at this point El-Sayed is going to win. The question is by how much.

If it's a crushing victory, there will probably still be some of that, but there might be a chance that "mainstream" dems take notice. 110
