I swear I’m here, scrolling more than I’m posting. Here’s a look back at my February reading! I had tons of diverse authors and some really good ones for Black History Month.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC
1/31: Crash in Philly
2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle
2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska
2/10: Crash in Scottsdale
2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego
2/16: Crash in Covington, GA

7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

If a book isn’t for you, don’t read it.

They can take it from my cold dead post partum raging hands.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Barely into ALL THE BLUES IN THE SKY and gutted by some of the prose. Renee Watson and Bahni Turpin are a duo I can get behind forever and ever. #Booksky

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.”

Albert Camus

Listen, I didn’t FA, so I hate that I’m having to FO because I stupidly need a new vehicle soon 😭😭

Just saying…

So far I have been called racist because I WANT birthright citizenship to be upheld (which it will) and a libtard because I presented facts and evidence against banning trans athletes from sports.
I have yet to have a conversation with a conservative that presents me with FACTS. Just insults.

The end of this book broke me. Powerful. Timely.
ONE NIGHT IN GEORGIA by Celeste O Norfleet.
#booksky

This book, ONE NIGHT IN GEORGIA is so worth the listen. Any time, but especially Black History Month when many are seeking out experiences and stories from Black creators.
It’s heartbreaking and highlights the realities of the South, Sundown towns, etc in the late 60s. #Booksky

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts.
Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

Hit me up with your book recs about all thing govt related. I try to keep myself informed but know I could do better. I wanna stack my TBR and work through a bunch the next 4 years.

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship.

#BlackHistoryMonth

Literally we are just allowing a legal coup. I’m terrified about how much damage they will do in 4 years and how much we can fix when it’s over

Every fantasy book needs a character list WITH pics please and thank you.

I’m also reading this! I just talked to a librarian friend about the translated works coming to the US and how excited I am!

Ok. I’m here. I’m ready to talk books and social justice and amplifying marginalized voices. Follow along if you’re interested in diverse reading, random thoughts, feminine rage, etc.
