Amazing and important piece with incredible resources. I’m now subscribed to Thot Pudding and using 5Calls. Thank you, Alexander!

So much good here, thank you! And one blip: the link to Mathews' novel is broken. But thank you for nudging it onto my radar. :-)

So... just now after reading this, all of the links here worked for me. Try again?

Still no and tried in 3 browsers. :/ The link leads me to: https://politics-prose.com/book/9780593489147 and I get a message that says: "sorry there was an error processing your request." Could be me though! (I'm outside the US) Thank you for checking.
