Journal of a Black Queer Nurse

Britney Daniels

In this searing, honest memoir, a Black queer emergency-room nurse works the front lines of care during COVID-19. 
 
 
 
Britney Daniels is a Black, masculine-presenting, tattooed lesbian from a working-class background. For the last five years, she has been working as an emergency-room nurse. She began Journal of a Black Queer Nurse as a personal diary, a tool to heal from the day-to-day traumas of seeing too much and caring too much. 
 
 
 
Hilarious, gut-wrenching, and infuriating by turns, these stories are told from the perspective of a deeply empathetic, no-nonsense young nurse, who highlights the way race, inequality, and a profit-driven healthcare system make the hospital a place where systemic racism is lived. 
 
 
 
Whether it is giving one's own clothes to a homeless patient, sticking up for patients of color in the face of indifference from white doctors and nurses, or nursing one's own back pain accrued from transporting too many bodies, Journal of a Black Queer Nurse reveals the ways in which care is much more than treating a physical body and how the commitment to real care—care that involves listening to and understanding patients in a deeper sense—demands nurses, especially nurses of color, must also be warriors.

Urban Governance and Renewal -...

Lyric Vale

In the complex architecture of city-making, governance represents the invisible framework that shapes urban development, mediates competing interests, and determines whose voices influence the evolution of metropolitan spaces. Beyond physical infrastructure and economic dynamics, the political dimensions of urban environments—the policies, power structures, and institutional arrangements that guide development decisions—profoundly shape the trajectory of cities and the lived experiences of their inhabitants. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Policy and Governance, The Politics of Urban Development, and Urban Renewal, examining how formal and informal power systems determine which neighborhoods flourish, which communities face displacement, and how the benefits and burdens of urban change are distributed. 
The narrative of urban governance is fundamentally a story of contested visions, where multiple stakeholders—from elected officials and corporate interests to community organizations and marginalized populations—engage in complex negotiations over the future of shared urban spaces. By examining the historical evolution, contemporary challenges, and emerging paradigms of urban governance, this book illuminates how policy frameworks, political processes, and renewal strategies reflect deeper power dynamics and ideological perspectives about what cities should be and whom they should serve. Readers will journey through diverse urban contexts—from the boardrooms where development decisions are made to the grassroots movements that challenge established power structures—discovering how governance approaches have evolved from top-down interventions to more collaborative, participatory models that recognize the plurality of urban stakeholders.

The Shocking Truth about Medical...

Zoey Fraisers

Medical innovation has long been a driving force behind longer life expectancy, improved quality of life, and the eradication of once-deadly diseases. From antibiotics and vaccines to robotic surgery and gene editing, the rapid advancement of medical technology has saved countless lives. Yet, behind every breakthrough lies a complex web of ethical dilemmas, financial motivations, and unforeseen consequences. While many medical innovations deliver on their promise, others have caused more harm than good, raising critical questions about the true cost of progress.
History has shown that not all medical advancements are as beneficial as they seem at first glance. Some treatments that were once hailed as revolutionary later proved to be disastrous. For example, the introduction of thalidomide in the late 1950s as a treatment for morning sickness led to severe birth defects in thousands of newborns. Likewise, the opioid crisis, fueled by the aggressive marketing of painkillers as “safe and non-addictive,” has devastated millions of lives worldwide. These examples highlight the darker side of medical innovation—where rushed approvals, corporate interests, and inadequate regulation can turn hopeful breakthroughs into public health disasters.
At the heart of this issue is the tension between progress and safety. In the race to bring new treatments and technologies to market, are we sacrificing patient well-being in favor of speed and profit? The pharmaceutical industry, medical device manufacturers, and even hospitals often prioritize financial gain over patient outcomes. Meanwhile, regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the World Health Organization struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of new developments, sometimes failing to catch risks before they reach the public.

If you’re curious about how GLP-1s might fit into your life, or want to optimize your experience while taking them, then Dr. Sowa’s clear-eyed, fully informed approach is a must-read. The Ozempic revolution changes everything: these drugs finally provide a viable, healthy, and sane way to lose weight, avoid disease, and maintain your health gains for life.
