I've been thinking about sharing some (very basic) advice from all the trips I have taken to archives of mainly 20th century papers, so here goes:

Happy to see this one out in the world. Absolutely loved writing it.

This radical bookshop in Canton has introduced me to so many wonderful books that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. I hope it weathers the storm. So sad to see how hard it is for independents at the moment @shelflifecdf https://t.co/mNvv6YvAZ6

This article by @TamikaYNunley sets out all the facts.

While married, Honeyhline & Jason Heidemann underwent IVF & froze two embryos.

When they divorced, Ms. Heidemann petitioned the court to divide custody of the embryos & her former husband objected.

[Rebecca Kavanagh @DrRJKavanagh]

A Virginia judge has ruled that human embryos "may be valued & sold & thus considered goods or chattels" based explicitly on pre-civil-war laws that defined enslaved people as property.

The case arose from a dispute between a divorced couple, a White man & Asian American woman.
