in another room, he who does not watch Outlander but who worked for decades in children's books, said wonderingly, "was that Jamie reading Goodnight Moon in Scot?" I wanted the whole book. On repeat.

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner
