An image of a tweet by associated press that reads: In Alabama, the man frying chicken at KFC and the woman making beds at Hokiday Inn could be prisoners. The state earns millions, leasing inmates to hundreds of companies, deeming them safe enough to work but denying them parole.
The term that you're looking for to accurately describe this situation, is slavery.

in other news: some guy with a electoral college pfp said i was ugly, i did nothing and reported it to noone, and then i looked again 10 minutes later and it was gone. birds are chirping. sunlight breaks through the clouds. a fawn drinks from a nearby stream. you are, for once, at peace. moderation.

If I can finish proofreading and make the index in time, my new book will come out in January. π
I've been working on it for five years so I'm pretty excited that it will soon be a reality. I'd like to tell you a bit about it.

Goodreads was acquired by Amazon in 2013, which basically means itβs owned by Jeff Bezos.
The subtle lesson? You canβt get away from them without turning yourself into a hermit.
Make choices based on your needs, not their moves. Do your best to look out for yourself and others. Live your life.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election π #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before yβall start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
