I'm a little Rae of sunshine!

She's sunshine mixed with a little hurricane.

Probably the most important thing I learned en route to a degree in history is that nothing is inevitable. All the big picture events of history were shaped by the people that lived them. YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. So important these days.
Currently reading four books at the moment. Yay snow days!

Did you know when you get a book through a retailer, they keep most of the money & the authors get only a fraction? That's why you need to get books directly from us, 'coz then most of the money comes to us.
Take a look at this list and grab a few! #booksky

People are writing and talking as though Trump's new world order is now a fact and irreversible.
Trump is historically unpopular and losing a lot of support from his own base (over the economy, his wars, and his involvement in child rape).
Let's not lose perspective.

So tell me #booksky hivemind, is Alchemised worth the 1000+ page investment? Just put it on hold at the library today, only 15 weeks to go. 😬

It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.
If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.
No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

Love this list. Beyond the selections, the mix-and-match search option; categories beyond the usual, e.g.: "The States We're In;" and the visual presentation. And way to go, @npr.org, on the easy access to past years' reading guides.

I can't do the general strike next month and boycotting Walmart is not an option given my work. Already have nothing to do with Amazon products, intentionally. Looking for somewhere else I can boycott.
