Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

“woke” is the new caravan.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

People are complicated. Love is not.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Republicans do not trust women.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Let me file that under fuck it.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

“They all knew.”

Re-upping this announcement from Wednesday.

Interested in a Zoom Book Club to Discuss Tom Levenson’s Book 'So Very Small'?

Hey everybody,

Anybody interested in having a Zoom book club to talk about Tom’s book, So Very Small?

Tom is super flexible, so we can talk about arguments in book and the relevance of the book today and /or we can use the book as a jumping off point for discussion.

It’s looking like we will start in 3-4 weeks, zooming the first two weeks of April, to give you guys time to read the book if you’re interested.

If you’re interested in reading / discussing this book, let us know in the comments!

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️

SAVE THE DATES

Wednesdays
April 8 and April 15
8 pm Eastern time

Zooms will start on time and will last 90 minutes.

⭐️  ⭐️  ⭐️

MORE DETAILS

We will raffle off a signed copy of one of Tom’s books – only participants in the zooms will be eligible for that.

If you want to participate but aren’t in a position right now to buy the book, let us know in the comments or send me email.  I’m sure we’ll be able to pair you up with someone to supply a book.

TO RSVP and get the Zoom link

Send email to WaterGirl and reference Tom or the book in the subject of your message!  And don’t forget to include your nym. :-)

I will send out the Zoom links the week of the first zoom, and the same link will work for both.  So not to worry if you have RSVP’d but you didn’t hear back from me.

      I’m interested but I’m currently planning to be traveling the 8th so I don’t know if I’m actually going to be available and won’t really know until the time (long drive planned.)

      Listened to the audiobook version…..excellent factual storytelling. Spoiler: terrible outcome for the 19th century Hungarian Doctor who put together the cause and spread of the highly infectious “child bed fever”.  He lost himself….likely after realizing his part in the death of so many otherwise healthy mothers.

      RSVP’d. I read So Very Small when it was first released and found it absolutely fascinating. I’m looking forward to Tom’s new book coming out soon.

      I can make the 8th, but not the 15th.

      I just RSVP’d via email. (And I absolutely love the fact that the full phrase in French has become a single word in English, capable of conjugation and possessing all the rights and responsibilities of other English verbs.)

      The online copy was checked out but I read the first six chapters as a sample from my library. So if you are having trouble finding the whole thing right now, you might get a start there.
