Academic books prices are high - if you are at a university, please encourage your university libraries to buy. Paperback out next year & will be more affordable. In the meantime, if you want to read it, email me on joewhparslow@gmail.com or message me with your email address.

3 years sober today. I don't have anything, yet, to add to what I said at 1 year (shorturl.at/pJN36), 2 years (shorturl.at/bptT8 ) and 1000 days (shorturl.at/hsIX1) so if you want pseudo-academic reflections on sobriety you can go there.

Today I am feeling calm & present & sleepy & not that momentous, but I want to mark it because marking it is important (for me, and maybe others). If you’re also on this journey, I’m always happy to chat (academics and queers in particular I know/feel those challenges). Love 💜
