I’ve spent the past three years reporting a book about how this country makes being pregnant harder than it should be. I wrote this because the conversation about what can be beautiful about pregnancy and parenting has felt dominated by the right. nytimes.com/2025/10/25/opini…

I’ll share much more soon. For now, consider preordering the book? So much of the infrastructure that used to exist to get books like this out there has been gutted — :: gestures around here :: — and preorders matter so much to whether a book gets a shot. simonandschuster.com/books/U…
