How to Deal (2003)

[sarah-dessen-things]

Trent Ford played Macon Forrester in the 2003 adaptation of That Summer and Someone Like You called How to Deal.

Here he is at school listening to Mandy Moore's Halley Martin:

And later in the movie when he confesses his love to her on her dad's radio show:

In 2020 Trent was hospitalized for liver failure and was fortunate to receive a transplant before the end of the year.

After his recovery he and his partner, Natalie Cohen, founded the non-profit organization Relive to offer free support and resources to patients and caregivers during pre- and post-liver transplant surgeries.

Relive's facility and the couple's home was in Altadena, and they had to evacuate this January during California's Eaton Wildfire.

A few days later Trent underwent emergency surgery on his birthday to restore blood flow to his transplanted liver.

As a birthday gesture, Natalie arranged a Go Fund Me to help during the displacement and recovery.

Thank you for reading and for those that can share and donate.

Methinks a spider laid eggs in my room because I keep finding teeny tiny spiders running around in random corners 🙃

i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like

Flyleaf Books is Sarah’s independent bookstore located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Besides selling books, trading used books, and accepting online orders from non-locals, one of the store’s services is offering signed copies from local authors and Sarah has her own author page.

Important to Know

You only pay for the book. The signing and personalization is at no extra charge. The only “catch” is orders are shipped based on availability of what’s in stock.

Hardcovers are priced higher and have to be special ordered.

Along for the Ride is available in paperback with or without the Netflix sticker on it (otherwise known as the “Movie Tie-In”).

There are also options to order the physical audio book CDs, e-books, mp3s, and some Spanish editions.

The more obscure (for lack of a better term) the edition the longer it may take to arrive in store, ship to you, and be received.

All of the paperbacks are readily available on the Flyleaf shelves at this time and while the prices differ, they are the cheapest option.

Shipping

All orders ship through USPS media mail. The first book has a $5.99 shipping charge and $1 is added for each additional book. Hypothetically, you could order all 14 Sarah Dessen books in paperback and ~only~ pay $18.99 in shipping.

Ordering

To get your signed copy/ies, search for the titles you desire and add them to the cart. Upon checkout look for the “Order Comments” at the bottom of the page. It will be below your payment and contact information.

Fill in your personalization request - a special note, your favorite quote, your name, someone else’s name, only her signature, the date, etc. - review the order, and submit it.

And that’s it!

You can order as many as you want, in any variation of signed and/or personalization, and Flyleaf will let Sarah know to stop by. 

The books will ship when she’s done and you’ll have an almost-direct connection to Sarah. 😉

Keep in mind that, while the service is offered throughout the year, Sarah usually travels with her family in the summer and if she’s on tour or it’s the holidays order completion times can vary.

Okay, without trying to take away from the joy we are feeling, we must stay vigilant. This ceasefire deal is 3 phases, the first is a 42 day pause for hostage exchange which is set to start on SUNDAY, as long as Netanyahu’s cabinet signs off on it. The IOF is not expected to fully retreat from Gaza, but stay to ‘mandated zones’. Palestinians are meant to be able to return to their homes, but with Israeli soldiers still there, this is not a guarantee. The 600 aid trucks a day into Gaza during this 42 day phase 1 is still not enough.

THIS IS NOT OVER. We do not know the details of phase 2 and 3, and nothing has been agreed for these phases in writing. We must not get complacent in this moment of respite. Please, do not stop fighting. This is not over until every Palestinian can return home, until the occupation is gone, until all of Palestine is free.

Keep protesting and campaigning, keep donating because aid organisations need all the help they can get, especially in the next 6 weeks, and it might be the only window people get to evacuate. This is a step in the right direction, but it is not over.

nothing personal but this kind of comment rlly exemplifies to me a disconnect between canon and popular fanon jmart characterization because they almost literally had this conversation in canon - except, their lines are swapped!

jon, for all his scared grouchiness, is a secret romantic, while martin, for all his forced optimism, is at his core a pragmatist
