This is the story of what happened to Taqwa’s family- it is a war crime. www.npr.org/2024/10/10/n...
Her last memory is by the window with her baby in Gaza. Then, Israeli airstrikes hit
Israel’s military dropped tens of thousands of bombs on Gaza in a year. This is a look at one airstrike, the lives it upended and the rights group's investigation saying it's a possible war crime.

If you haven't read this, take the time to do so! She's one of my favorite all time writers.
This book is especially good for the dystopia we're walking into politically and environmentally.

(Butler's Xenogenesis series is really good too)
The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

I can’t think of a single dystopian novel or movie that imagined our government filled not with aliens but ignorant conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, sex criminals and grifters.
