New: I spoke to Rev. Babs Miller, a lesbian pastor at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, who has known James Talarico since he was "Jimmy." They told me about how Talarico's church formed his support for queer and trans people from a young age.

All week I was looking forward to going to the bookstore to get the new Vigdis Hjorth. This morning I got it and the bookseller and I talked excitedly about Hjorth. She rang me up, I paid, and then she said, "it looks like we also have a book on hold for you to pick up." It was the same book.
