Utah Governor Spencer Cox is touring national TV, preaching political depolarization to sell his new book. But back home, his approval ratings have plunged 23 points since April. Turns out, enacting one of the country’s most extreme book-banning measures doesn't exactly make you a unifier.

Tiny #booksky review: The Grief Nurse, by Angie Spoto. Fascinating and beautifully gothic, covering themes of grief, class, exploitation and cruelty. What would you pay to never have to feel sorrow or dread or grief ever again? Thought provoking, beautifully written, charmingly unique.
