Finished The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd.
I left religion 14 years ago, so this isn't my usual genre. It was a fascinating read. SMK is a truly gifted writer, and I enjoyed reading her work. She has a gift of breathing humanity into a story that I could recite from the KJV.

My brain has been in a loop replaying scripture and propaganda from my childhood. It's oddly frightening and familiar.

I had no idea the series was based on books! The show is one of my top 3!

This one has been on my reading list for years. I finally sat down this week and read Man's Search for Meaning. I
was not disappointed!
"Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked."

I finished Hidden Valley Road after watching the documentary, Six Schizophrenic Brothers. It is hard to say I enjoyed it, but I learned much about mental illness, societal norms, the role of DNA, and how each family member deals with trauma. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've read many books on the Holocaust. The little liar is a must-read, in my opinion! Mitch Albom narrates the story through the third person, Truth. I wish this was required reading for every high schooler.

It is definitely worth reading!

I had no idea there was a movie! I will have to find it.

I just finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks! Fascinating read that centers on the life of Henrietta, known to the science world as HeLa , medicine and bioethics, and multi-generational trauma.

Black fourth grader at The Madeleine School in Portland is called the N-word. Black parents rush up to school. Demand to know the plan to ensure this never happens again. Principal Tresa Rast calls the police.

Ohh, this looks intriguing! Thank you @pedrogranalacant.bsky.social

I love Brittish writing. One of my favourites is Susan Howatch. Are there any other brittish authors or books I should check out?

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I'm reading Astor by Anderson Cooper. Mind-blowing how much history can teach us. And serve as a warning!

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize?

I think we have a winner.

Trump happened because of the Alt Right. I was homeschooled in that environment. I read at a HS level in 4th grade...but was limited to a white-washed version of history. I had never heard of the Trail of Tears. I had no idea what Apartheid was. THESE are the voters who now support Trump/Project25.
