What to read to understand why we’re all so angry. 

ANGRYNOMICS by @ericlonners.bsky.social & @mkblyth.bsky.social explores the gap between "good" economic data and the stress we feel every day.

Brilliant, funny, & full of radical solutions for a polarized world.

#JohnAdams #AmericanHistory #BookSky

The most fragile moment in American history wasn't a war.

It was an election. 

In 1800, John Adams did something no empire had successfully done: usher in a peaceful transition from one political power to another.

THE UNDOCUMENTED AMERICANS by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio.

Not policy in theory, but life inside it.

• Systems failing real people.
• Issue vs. Human.
• Clarity over despair.

An essential, grounding read. 

#BookSky

We’re pausing promotion to share books that help us think more clearly about power, history, and inequality.

A place to start: The Small and the Mighty by Sharon McMahon.

It’s a grounding read—especially to understand how we got here, who gets remembered, and what responsibility looks like now.
