the question is never “why do adoptees deserve their own birth records;” it is always “why does anyone else deserve to take them away.” 🥚

The Man on the Corner A true story...

I haven’t been keeping up on this platform much and I want to. It seems the safe new place to be. Still figuring out the ins and outs.

I keep thinking about these important and powerful words by Audre Lorde. I first encountered them while reading our current book (S9) for our podcast, Adoption: The Making of Me. The book is: You Should Be Grateful, by Angela Tucker. These words keep coming to me.

Saying yes to a challenge and getting out a new essay. A bit insecure about this one. Hence, the challenge. open.substack.com/pub/louisebr...

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

So Much Loss | Chris Erskine LA Holding out hope in the face of ridiculous misfortune is the most-admirable human trait I can think of.

L.A.'s residential writer emeritus, Chris Erskine, pens his thoughts on the #LosAngeles fires and their aftermath. There's sadness, there's concern, and there's hope.

This beautiful post by Chris Erskine. He was one of my favorite LA Times columnists for years. I remember when he suffered the loss of his son and we all followed along with him. He let us into his deepest emotions then and now. He’s so poignant.
