No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Did this at the beginning of this year, won’t ever look back. Easy to migrate your data, and it’s better in every way! (I’m the same user name over there, btw)
Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

I made the film screening! It was excellent! You were very nice to me! It was very embarrassing! Everything hurts!
