4) The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West. A wildly poignant and politically relevant collection of essays exploring feminism, social media, comedy, and the #MeToo movement, which was happening at the time it was penned. Hilarious. Frighteningly apropos for the current time. Highly recommend. 10/10

3) The Last White Man by
Mohsin Hamid. An emotional opportunity to explore the complexities of racism as yt ppl begin transforming into ppl with dark skin. Chaos ensues as society is challenged by the changes. Poor reviews due to the lyrical prose/run-on paragraphs, but I LOVED IT. 10/10

2) The Strange Library by
Haruki Murakami. An illustrated short novel about a boy who becomes imprisoned in a terrifying library and what he must do in his attempts to survive and escape. I read this to begin acquainting myself with the author before I dive into the 1Q84 series. 7/10

Super pleased to state that I'm about to finish my fifth book in the month of January. Limiting SM, utilizing my library & Libby, and participating in StoryGraph's January reading challenge have all played a role in my success. This month has been stressful AF, so reading has been my respite.

You just have to look at this to see what it is.
And if you’re explaining this away, then you’re an asshole and probably a colossal piece of shit.

We had a blast in a rare south Georgia snow. My boy's first winter and his first snow. We'll love telling him stories of this time when he's older. ♡

Wondering how you can be an active participant in the resistance? Here are some amazing actions you can take now and in the coming months. If you're pissed, put your money where your mouth is! We can do this. We will do this. Get comfortable with discomfort.

Replying to @Christine we all must do something every day to resist. I’ll continue adding slides in my story of all the ways people are making a difference. Never give up. Have a happy new year ❤️ #ma...

Important information for folks looking to participate in the resistance. The Chenowith Study found that successful uprisings required about 3.5% of the population. There are ways you can help. Mutual aid is imperative. Learn from those who came before you to limit harm.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated
