For Bloomberg Weekend's On Books, I reviewed Amanda FitzSimons's AN AMERICAN GIRL, a clear-eyed analysis of a brand that left a lasting mark on girlhood that crucially interrogates the inherent tensions in the Pleasant Company’s mission. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

When you’re doing a Zoom presentation on #SCOTUS and Stitch (or, at least, my 8YO in a Stitch costume) makes a cameo: 📸: @meeradeo.bsky.social

Absolutely scorching endorsement, bringing serious heat for Weiner and against Chan, but a blast furnace at Pelosi for her role in this race and her true reasons for it. Never read an editorial this heated in Chron www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

please let your Boston-area friends and adoptee friends know this is happening next week! @kaileepedersen.bsky.social’s new book is a great read, creepy as hell, rich with all kinds of themes touching on music & identity & #adoption and much more—and I have the honor of talking about it with her.

The reasons for adoption have changed since I was born. Back in the post-WW2 era, being unmarried was a major reason for relinquishment (especially for white women because of racism). My first mother crossed the Canadian border to hide her pregnancy. Today lack of resources drives relinquishment. 🥚
