About this episode

Courtney and Jennifer discuss the Stonewall Honor Book 'Like a Love Story' and the implications of book bans on LGBTQ+ literature while addressing global health issues related to foreign assistance cuts.

The summer season is HARD for working moms…with kids not being in school, our ducks are not in ANY rows. 🦆 But…somehow the stars ✨ aligned and we were able to cobble together 39 minutes to rave about the Stonewall Honor Book: Like a Love Story by Abdi Nazemian…This poignant revisitation of the AIDS Crisisis is exactly the type of book that would be marked as 🚨off-limits🚨 for purchasing by public schools across the nation if Book Ban Bill S. 4925 passes the House. Call your reps…the 5 Calls app makes it painlessly easy. And since it has been about one year since DOGE’s disgusting dismantling of USAID, Jen and Court discuss how the term “genocide” is being vastly underused…considering a global health study that predicts over 9 millions deaths (2.5 being children under 5) by 2030 as a result of these global foreign assistance cuts. Tune in wherever your listen 🎧 to hear Jen rave about this YA historical fiction love story and for tips on how to avoid Cyclospora (RFK Jr.’s most recent failure).
