Our Fiction Book of the Month is The Wax Child by Olga Ravn, translated by Martin Aitken! A hauntingly evocative short novel of witchcraft & persecution that reimagines the true story of a 17th century Danish witch trial.

Julia is in rehab and I recommend following her. I didn't know about the money-for-blood market until about 15 years ago when I became friendly with a sociology professor; many of the professor's students were indigent and sold blood to make extra money. If you're in a hospital and need blood during a procedure, it will come largely from students, homeless people, and drug addicts. ("What stage of capitalism...")
I truly didn’t know about the plasma for money trade. Almost everyone here is donating their plasma for cash. They make around $500 a month. I had not a clue. But hey they are doing a good deed.
