Well, the title warned me, but it was still sad. A good queer love story within the universe of midnight phone calls that tell you you’re going to die today. Matteo and Rufus live their last 24 hours together and it’s mostly well done though with som ...more

A good listen about a woman who takes on new identities to do “jobs” for Mr. Smith. The twists keep coming and she eventually has to work to find out who he is and how to get out of his control. Nothing too deep but fun and intriguing.

That was one of the worst mysteries I’ve read. Very slow developing. And it hinged somewhat on cuff links, dad not being kissed when he came home, bathroom stall graffiti, and someone who was a pacifist during WWII? It was small and uninteresting. No ...more

Quotes by David S. Cohen (?)

“Individual abortion providers have been picketed at home and have received harassing mail and phone calls. Their family members have been followed where they work, their children have been protested at school, and their neighbors’ privacy has been invaded.”
― David S. Cohen, Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism

1 likes

“despite abortion being such a common and safe medical procedure, individuals who provide abortion care cannot count on their own personal safety, and partly because abortion providers are not safe, there are very few abortion providers in the United States. Because of their work, abortion providers have been murdered, shot, kidnapped, assaulted, stalked, and subjected to death threats. Their clinics have been bombed, attacked with noxious chemicals, invaded, vandalized, burglarized, and set ablaze.”
― David S. Cohen, Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism

“Donald Yates, a longtime clinic owner and physician in a South Atlantic state, routinely ended his workday to find his car tires punctured.”
