"Osmundson's 2022 essay collection Virology established the NYU professor as a voice of his generation...In Spawning Season, Osmundson looks at queer parenthood and the natural world" -Boston Globe

"A singular and deeply moving book. Osmundson has birthed a profound meditation on family and food, longing and loss, hope and grief, humans and salmon. In his story, we find a multitude of beautiful, complicated ways of imagining the future-and then working to build one." -Ed Yong, Pulitzer Prize-winner and New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World

From the author of National Book Critics Circle Award and Lambda Literary Award finalist VIROLOGY comes an intimate chronicle of queer family-making.

Since grade school, Joseph Osmundson dreamed of being pregnant. As he grew into the queer scientist he is today, the economic precarity of academia and the warming planet led to his decision not to reproduce. That is, until a lesbian couple he had known since college came to him with a proposition: would Joe be a bio-dad and would he co-parent alongside them?

Soon everything was falling into place. But when the two partners communicated their need for a child to reflect their own racial backgrounds, Joe's whiteness exposed fault lines in their parenting journey. Spawning Season is a genre-bending memoir that treats the scientific as integral to the personal and that builds an entire species of the grief we carry in our bodies. In exploratory prose that builds on the work of Donna Haraway and José Esteban Muñoz, Osmundson considers the ethics of child-rearing in the 21st century, the brutal wonder of caregiving, and the joys and intricacies of building family beyond biology.

Nice
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
It’s a little drying, but it smells like citrus and I love that. It is really cleansing and easy to use.

Nicely scented and effective
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I like that these wipes seem to take the makeup off and pleasantly scented. I will continue to order. The size of the wipe is generous. I wish they were more exfoliating but I use other products for that.

Love the scent, but the performance falls short.
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I always love the smell of Pacifica products, and these are no exception—the scent is lovely. Unfortunately, the actual effectiveness falls short of great. They seem to remove my foundation okay, though it takes a little more effort and scrubbing than other wipes I’ve used. The real issue is eye makeup; instead of removing it, the wipe mostly just smudges it around. It never comes off fully, so I always have to follow up with a separate product to get my face actually clean. If you wear minimal makeup, these might be fine, but for anything more, they struggle.

as described, i love these!
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I know a lot of brands always like to boast about their items having this and that in them with no effects but I actually do feel that you can feel the product in these wipes. 1. they have a texture to the wipe so you feel like your truly exfoliating when wiping your face. 2. I like the smell, easy enough. 3. They do leave my skin feeling glowy. I will say that if you're having trouble with your skin barrier, these aren't the product to need to use at that time because you will feel the sting from these. Which shows me that the product does actually contain all the things it says.

Amazing, Affordable & Smell Amazing!
Size: 120 Count (Pack of 4)
These are by far my favorite makeup remover wipes. They smell amazing, remove makeup instantly, and are super affordable. The packaging is well-designed too.
