Front page of the Daily Mirror. Black and white image shows a man in a top hat and a police officer standing over a woman, who is laying on the floor with her hands close to her face. The headline reads 'Violent scenes at Westminster, where many Suffragettes were arrested while trying to force their way into the House of Commons'.

I’m not good with change, but the time has come!

I just got a message from my son’s middle school that they are going to start their health unit. I wonder how much it will resemble my 6th grade health class, which consisted of watching Degrassi High and 21 Jump Street episodes to learn not to get pregnant or do drugs 🤔

I am on here, and excited to announce that Orwell’s Ghosts has not one but two covers (UK left; US right). Coming next summer to a bookstore near you
