JFB in conversation with Ali V. today on @ms.now
Books open minds and hearts. That's why they keep trying to ban them.
READING IS RESISTANCE.

Velshi Banned Book Club: โCleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Usโ by Jennifer Finney Boylan
Author Jennifer Finney Boylanโs remarkable life has been examined across five memoirs through humor, well-placed anecdotes, and pitch-perfect detail. Her latest memoir, "Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us", explores the transgender experience, but also love, family, and the ever-constant of change.
@jennyboylan.bsky.socialโs body of work has always been a masterclass in empathy and understanding. And today? In the midst of so much division? โNone of us is any one thing,โ she reminds us. #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub

You can catch me on the Ali Velshi show at 12:30 east, MSNBC, on Valentine's Day.
And if you're in NYC, join Ali and me at the UWS Barnes and Noble this Wednesday night!
We will talk about Cleavage-- both the kind in my book of the same name, as well as the division in this country.

A delegation of writers is headed to Texas A & M to shine a light on the suppression of academic freedom there, and around the country. Me, Sandra Cisneros, George Packer, and more.
Education should be about opening minds, not closing them.

Say @rexparker.bsky.social I just wanted to warn you that Silence of the Lambs has some of the most skin-crawling anti-trans business in it you are likely to ever encounter. Jodi is incredible, as always. But proceed with caution, man.
also I thought that your giving 2 stars today was generous.
