Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.
Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

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.
