9 books for May! I really liked "Never Have I Ever" which was a collection of short stories with varied genres.

I’m starting to feel that having almost all our corporate leaders and elected officials be sociopaths might end badly for all of us.

April books! 11 read. Really liked Incidents Around the House. It was really scary so maybe don't read it at night like I did 😅

March books! 7 read. My favorite this month was The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. As always, I didn't realize it was going to be emotional and I cried.

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks.

“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.

“I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status.

February books. 9 read. Behold the Dreamers was probably my favorite. In Five Years was also great but it also made me cry for two days straight, so fair warning. Big Gay Wedding also made me cry

America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Too many people didn't appreciate just how wonderful, how glorious, it was that the daily news cycle during Biden's presidency was boring as fuck.

He is going to say "pinky swear you will protect our border. And buy more booze and stuff from us. "

They will say yes. Won't actually buy the stuff. And he will declare victory

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Burnout lesson I learned from BookTok:

Please read what you want to read. The books that reflect you as a person and your entire identity.

Don’t let fomo make you read a book you know you won’t like. Or just wait to read it.

January books! 11 read. Favorites were The Will of the Many(this was seriously the best book I've read in a LONG time)and The Sun Does Shine.

The one that doesn't have a cover illustration was "The One" by John Marrs. It was just ok.

As Jesus famously said, Love thy neighbor a bit less than thyself
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

One way to resist? Read more, use the library, buy from local bookstores, post reviews, talk about the books you're reading, read banned books. Anything to do with reading, and books, they seem to hate. Stay educated, and continue reading.

This is a thread about book banning. Right now, today, books are being pulled from shelves in libraries and classrooms, some by direct order, some in fear of what's coming. This is *exactly* what Project 2025 said was going to happen. Make no mistake: this is not about books; it's about people. 1/8

Still haven’t seen Wicked, but it does warm my heart to know that there is now an entire other generation that is going to attempt to read, and inevitably decide not to finish, the book it’s based on

Now that federal scientists are constrained from protecting our food supply and air, preventing disease outbreaks, and reduce carbon emissions,

it’s on us as university and industry scientists to pick up this work. Find where your lane needs your engagement, and wade in.

Read books. Read books for fun. Read books for education. Read the banned books you aren't supposed to. Support your local libraries and education programs. This post is not inherently political, but I absolutely understand why it might be construed that way.

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.

Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.
