This has been my Fall of Small Towns that are Very Proud of their One Thing (complimentary), and I’m here for it.

Today I visited Left Bank Books in St. Louis and I feel like I have met a celebrity. Awesome store!

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

No, alas! Only picture books.

Libra season is upon us. My power is now infinite and fall has finally fallen. Crisp and clear today. Praise Beyoncé.

I'm sure I missed many wonderful #DVpit pitches, so if you think we'd be a good fit, please query me via our submission guidelines on the JGLM website.

Hochul to Sign Order to Get Around U.S. Limits on Covid Vaccine

Great news: In response to RFK’s anti-vax moves last week, NY will allow pharmacies to provide covid vax WITHOUT a prescription. (Age 3+)

VACCINES FOR ALL: Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to New Yorkers who request them, according to plans shared exclusively with Playbook. The Democrat’s executive order will mirror actions taken by other blue state governors this week to protect access to the latest Covid vaccine. The Food and Drug Administration has only granted limited approval of the jab for older adults and individuals considered to be high-risk. That’s prompted Democratic leaders to create their own vaccine guidance and explore ways they can legally protect access to the shot for everyone. “By signing this EO, Governor Hochul is making it clear that when Washington Republicans play politics with public health, New Yorkers will still be able to make their own health care decisions and get the care they need from trusted providers in their community,” Hochul spokesperson Kara Cumoletti said in a statement to POLITICO. This morning, POLITICO Pro reported that the Hochul administration is reviewing potential solutions to the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict vaccine access. However, a long-term fix may require legislative changes by lawmakers either through a special session, or when they return to the state Capitol in January. “This temporary order will ensure seamless access while the Governor works with the Legislature on a long-term solution to safeguard preventive care and vaccines,” Cumoletti added. — Katelyn Cordero

BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to anyone who requests them, regardless of age or underlying conditions.

Took the subway for the first time since breaking my ankle two months ago, and I feel like a rehabilitated sea lion being released into my natural habitat.

Publishing hot take: traditional publishing is really hard, and self-publishing is really hard, and everyone deserves a sandwich and a nap.
