So many people with important new books out! Here’s Clint ...
... and Sasha ...
... and (soon enough) JP ...
... and, last but not least because Oprah beat me to it, Ashley.
Congrats to Clint, Sasha, John Paul, and Ashley for the praise and attention all of their work is getting.

(And for the reminder that I still haven’t written a book.)
Here’s a link for where to order JP’s book: simonandschuster.com/books/Hola-Pap…

And here’s for Ashley’s book: static.macmillan.com/static/fib/som…

(The other two had links in the tweets above!)

Anyway, as I amusingly like to note, we go from Mental Health Awareness Month to LGBTQ Pride Month tonight, two months that are specifically about ME! I’m bipolar, have added in some delightful anxiety during the pandemic, and am very gay and queer. So, let’s celebrate all that!
Seriously though, especially as we come out of this past year, people are dealing with lots of mental health issues — including old ones in new ways. We really need to do our best to be gentle. It’s tough. I fail often. But we can all benefit from gentleness right now.
I had to change my meds during the pandemic, I had bad stomach issues, I had a period where I started having panic attacks. I had to be vulnerable in new ways to get the help that I needed. Now, coming out the other side, I’m sure there will be more I’m going to need.

Maybe the fact that Bo Burnham could find a way to make me cry repeatedly during his fantastic special about what we’ve been through these past 18 months isn’t the most surprising thing, but it wouldn’t have been my first call when watching his YouTube videos back in the day.
Also: Can we talk about this perfect song?
It’s amazing to think back to his initial videos: It was clear this precise sort of talent was there—bc @boburnham was already displaying it in high school! To push that forward 15 years, add in nurturing of his talent and lots of growth, and this is what we got. It’s incredible.

#SCOTUS grants no new cases this morning. Here is the full orders list: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
In Johnson v. Precythe, the Supreme Court allows an execution method decision — Missouri, pentobarbital — to stand that Johnson has "plausibly pleaded," the dissenters say, will be torturous for him. He sought to be executed by a firing squad instead. SCOTUS won't hear the case.
The conclusion from Sotomayor's dissent, in which Breyer and Kagan join:

Krasner is winning 2-to-1 in the first batches of both mail & in-person ballots. Obviously not enough to tell us much, but it is an initial sign that early & day-of voting mightn’t be as divergent in this race as in the presidential.
If this stands, we’re also headed to a blowout — and yet another sign that a lot of folks at the national level (writing end-times stories) really don’t have a good handle on how much thinking is changing around public safety and criminal justice on the ground across the country.
I mentioned this last weekend, fwiw, when the Inquirer endorsed Krasner. —>

Breaking: #SCOTUS grants three new cases, including Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, a challenge to Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. (Second image is from the petition, from which the court will be considering Question 1: the constitutionality of the ban.)
Here’s the docket for Dobbs: supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?fi…
