A bit about me:

In a previous life, I was an author & pro genealogist w a day job in comms for a #socialjustice nonprofit.

#ME/CFS + other #chronicillness ruined it all.

My activist heart feels lost in the future so I'm landing in my safe space: #Books

#Reading can be an act of resistance. ;)

Whoever claims that this Nazi salute was accidental is....mistaken.

His body language: Biting his lip. Slapping his chest. "I'm doing it! I know some of you hate it! But I love it. So there!"

Interesting that my meta settings included me following political people I never followed and listed as not to see any political posts (which definitely wasn’t me.) Undoing 15+ years of FB is taking longer than I thought. Can’t wait til it’s over.

CNN’s ratings are down 40%.

Maybe they shouldn’t have tried to both-sides fascism.

Happy Thursday! It's so hard to keep up with days in this dark timeline we've slipped into. Time is all wibbly wobbly but not in a good way. It's not just me, right?

Fiction: Finished Witches in the Kitchen by Danielle Garrett. I’m trying to decide if I’m reading another cozy for my next fiction read or going into my “fiction for change” reading list.

Nonfiction: On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder

Buffalo Bill over the Women’s Bureau at the Department of Labor. Too dark?
In these last months of the year, let’s turn Trump’s cabinet picks into a drinking game. Start with five shots back-to-back, then write down the most ridiculous posts you can imagine. Throw some money in a pot and see who wins. My bet? Cruella de Vil leading Fish & Wildlife. Cheers to the absurdity!

Sundays are for #reading… What is your current book?

I’m reading two WILDLY different titles. I love to balance nonfiction with fiction. I needed comfy for this so…

On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder and Witches in the Kitchen by Danielle Garrett

I love a good intro that sets the stage in a concise way while exciting you to jump on the journey!

“…the precedent set by the Founders demands that we examine history to understand the deep sources of tyranny, and to consider the proper responses to it.” Snyder #OnTyranny

Get on #BookSky they said. My TBR is groaning. Someone needs to distract my family so I can go to the bookstore...
