Thanks for writing this! The books give us a bit more insight into what kinds of people the authors are. In interviews as well as in their own writing, the authors have demonstrated that they believe themselves to be progressive but they are sheltered neoliberals at best. They are both…

I’m a childless adult who loves visiting zoos and aquariums. Ever since I was a little kid, I loved to see the adorable animals, the pretty habitats, and all the great work zoologists do to rescue animals and reintroduce them to their natural habitats. Whenever I visit a zoo or…

No one should have to experience what Maupin put you through, especially the horrific events that Member 2 had to endure. It was very brave of you to come forward as a group and reject the abuse before it continued any further. I'm hoping for all of your recoveries and…
