Consent by Vanessa Springora, a memoir of the sexual abuse she endured beginning at 13 at the hands of a famous writer. Every story like this is different but also the same.

#booksky #books #reading #nonfiction #memoir #trauma #abuse
Book cover of Consent by Vanessa Springora. An older man covers a teenage girl's eyes from behind. Quote from Consent by Vanessa Springora: "An absent father who left an unfathomable void in my life. A pronounced love of reading. A certain precocious sexuality. And, above all, an immense need to be seen. All the conditions are now in place."

Motivated to get my attention span back after reading The Sirens' Call by @chrislhayes.bsky.social. It's horrifying how my hand itches for the phone when it's away.

I think this might be my new favorite book? The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Exactly what I needed to read in this moment about partnership, about society, and about our mutual responsibility to one another.

I keep my car very clean. There's usually nothing in it. Today is an exception. If someone breaks in, they will get cabbage.

We are getting close to the end of Summer Book Bingo, so I grabbed two novellas from @spl.org! My choices for "book with a flower on the cover or in the title" and "book suggested by a library worker" #booksky #reading #library #seattle #BookBingoNW2025
Hand holding two books. The book on the left is titled Marigold and Rose by Louise Glück. The book on the right is titled She Who Knows by Nnedi Okorafor.

I promote the adoption of electric vehicles, but we can't trade one system of violence for another. Clearly, fossil fuels have to go, so we must work to ensure the critical minerals supply chains are actually clean, not just obfuscated by corporate sustainability statements. #climate #sustainability
Page from Cobalt Red with the quote highlighted: "How can a sustainable future be built through sacrificing the very bearers of that future, through depriving children's well-being, and worse, even, through depriving children the right to be?" Page from Cobalt Red with the quote highlighted: " Never have the people of Congo benefited from the minds of Congo. We only become poorer... There is an agenda to promote a false picture of the conditions here. The mining companies claim there are not any problems here. They say they maintain international standards. Everyone believes that, so nothing changes."

Cobalt Red by Siddharth Kara paints a damning picture of the horrific human rights abuses in the Congo where nearly all of the cobalt needed for rechargeable batteries is mined. The price of having a phone in your hand is paid for, literally, in the blood of children. #booksky #reading #nonfiction
Book cover of Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara. The cover features people scrambling around an open pit Cobalt mine. Page from Cobalt Red with the quote highlighted: " The Titanic companies that sell products containing Congolese Cobalt are worth trillions, you're the people who dig their Cobalt out of the ground. Eke out a base existence characterized by extreme poverty and immense suffering. They exist at the edge of human life in an environment that is treated like a toxic dumping ground by foreign mining companies millions of trees have been clear-cut, dozens of villages raised, rivers and air polluted, and arable land destroyed. Our daily lives are powered by a human and environmental catastrophe in the Congo." Page from Cobalt Red with dialogue highlighted. Woman: "Why have you really come here?" Author: " If I can describe the conditions accurately, I hope it may inspire people to help improve things here." Woman: "Everyday people are dying because of the Cobalt. Describing this will not change anything."
