'How does this senseless, avoidable violence happen? Truly, how?' roxane gay nytimes.com/2023/05/04/opi…

Great questions roxane gay. 'Why are men so afraid? Why are they so fragile that they shoot or harm first and ask questions later? Why do they believe death or injury is an appropriate response to human fallibility?' nytimes.com/2023/05/04/opi…

Can't wait to read this book! @Kemc, will it also be published in the UK?

Hey all, I wrote a book!
It's about the economic precarity that drives millions of people to sell their blood in the US and how that giant pool flows around the world.
It's a very personal story going back a decade.
You can preorder it here, out Jan. 24. simonandschuster.com/books/Blood-Mo…

The most surprising thing in all this reporting over the course of several years? When I tell you it's millions of people who sell their blood in America, I'm not exaggerating. Millions.

You might have an idea about who sells their plasma in America to get by. If you're like me, it's probably wrong. One of the main things that leads people to a plasma center? The price of going to college. Student debt relief and lowering the cost of education are so important.
