Oh how I loved Sarah Ruhl’s new book “Smile: The Story of a Face.” It’s a reflection on her journey in healing from Bell's Palsy after giving birth to twins. Highly recommend. https://t.co/N3So9F2Wu7

Beautiful podcast interview with Susan Cain about her new book “Bittersweet” and melancholy: Activism is “a way of making sense and meaning out of pain and turning it into something better. That’s one of our fundamental impulses when we’re at our best.” https://t.co/HJGqCjVlXF

I don’t know why, but this made me laugh hysterically. Also, any recommendations for what to read now that I’ve (sadly) finished Crying in H Mart? https://t.co/BIRMer2Lg8

Author ⁦@emmastraub⁩’s visit to ⁦@katyisd⁩‘s Robertson Elementary School in Texas was canceled because she wrote “Fuck guns” on Twitter the day 19 children and two educators were shot to death in school by a teen with access to an assault rifle https://t.co/sBoKUB4Wtx

Also doesn’t have to be a novel. I’ve read Every Family Has A Story by Julia Samuel, It Didn’t Start With You by Mark Wolynn, and Emotional Inheritance by Galit Atlas.

.⁦@self_compassion⁩’s book (Fierce Self Compassion: How Women can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim their Power and Thrive) says self-compassion helps us to be tender in tough situations, but fierce in love, service and a desire to reduce harm. https://t.co/PX7d7sb6io

Thrilled to get my hands on a copy of this fascinating and illuminating book by @Dahlialithwick about the women lawyers who fought the racism, sexism, and xenophobia of Donald Trump’s presidency —and won. Check out “Lady Justice” asap. https://t.co/oYh74qUSDG

DISGUSTING: Former Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot and and seriously wounded 10 years ago. Her husband’s Republican US Senate opponent, @jim_lamon, just put out an ad in which he shoots Mark Kelly and other Democrat leaders. #AzSen https://t.co/eoBIJH8ap0
