So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

For whatever reason, Echo has taken to licking my copy of Provenance by @annleckie.com I have no idea why. She’s never done this with other books, not even Translation State. But Provenance? Mlem mlem mlem
