Remember that books are going to be harder to find. Public libraries might be something that they go after. I know that food is #1 priority, but knowledge should be in your top 5.

Please stay safe and please educate yourself.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you.
One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order.
No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Lost in the reel to real.
Real life leaves you out of sorts
confused by reality
choose to ignore it

Lost in a phony world you inhabit,
so fearful of emotions
you only pretend to feel.

Fragments of other’s dreams
you conveniently steal,
devoid of anything you can call your own.

My first post on Bluesky will be of my garden exploits 🥰 I'm giving starting seeds another go with a very DIY setup. It's the most radical thing I can think to do in the face of an impending Trump presidency. Passionate Existence will be staunch resistence when fascism creeps in ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 Wish me luck 🤞🏽
