I've missed you, Ava! But this was worth the wait! My favorite line? "You wanna play, let's play!" I'm washing dishes, listening to the audio play and grinning. Thanks and keep starting!

Reposted by Author-Scarlet
"Many...worried that a lack of memorialization played into a larger erosion of empathy that would...empower fascists...To help people process...together, in spite of the physical distance between them, Kelly’s collective, Lifted Voices, & others set out to plan a week of action & memorialization." 🫂
I started reading this earlier at the doctor's office, but then got home, & other priorities took precedence. Given how demoralized I feel, I am returning to it and hoping that posting quotes that resonate as I go may help me with finishing it. Channeling my past self, who read 450+ books in 2017! 🥹
