How can you be talking about HISTORY with everything that's going on. 18th century history? Women's history? Waves hands.

A series of tropes in House, Body, Bird arranged around the book's spooky haunted house/face cover. The tropes read "feminine rage," "lesbian MC," "short & spooky," "talkative haunted house," "unreliable narrator," "breaking cycles of trauma (+ traumatize your dad back)," "haunted dolls," and "MEAT."

Opinion | ICE Is Causing a Health Crisis Our patients face a cruel calculus: seek essential medical care and risk detention, or stay home and risk their lives.
