Let This Radicalize You: Organizing nd the Revolution of Reciprocal Care | Mariame Kaba, Kelly Hayes

pick

This book is aimed at organizers, but I highly recommend it even if you (like me) don‘t intend to do any organizing. It‘s full of information, both actionable and philosophical. This is a book we need in this time of terrifying fascists destroying our government.

Hope In The Dark | Rebecca Solnit

FYI
I'm not wishing to ruffle feathers re politics, BUT I've seen a lot of people struggling with current events on here.
Rebecca Solnit has launched a new website to post essays, content, and information regarding the defence of democracy. Remember #KnowledgeisPower

Amiable Thank you for posting this. I for one am feeling powerless and angry and afraid and I don't know where to direct my rage.

FYI, if you don't already follow Heather Cox Richardson, I highly recommend that you do. 1mo

AllDebooks @Amiable just trying to help, as I've never been so scared at world events as I am rn. It's terrifying watching from the UK and I dread to think of the global impact this will have. I do follow Heather, too. She is so good at making sense of it all. 1mo

Karisa Thank you… so much 🤬 at the news from me these past few weeks. Good to know we are not alone. These are more constructive ways to channel our power. 1mo

TiredLibrarian Thank you. 1mo

JenReadsAlot Thank you! @Amiable I'm so feeling the same way. 1mo

wanderinglynn Thanks for posting this. As someone who currently lives in DC & works for the US government, I can say we‘re all stressed, frustrated, & worried. Every day there‘s something. Some of my policy colleagues have already been laid off. Every day there‘s a new directive. I think it‘s going to get worse before it evens out. 1mo

Zuhkeeyah Thank you for sharing! 1mo

kspenmoll Thank you!!!!‘ I joined & sent this to my friends. @wanderinglynn My closest friend has lived in DC since college- she says much the same. Total chaos due to T. ( I cannot bring myself to write out his name). (edited) 1mo

Words with My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times | Lowell Klessig, Lukas Klessig

During this blog we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Lukas Klessig and his book “Words With My Father: A Bipolar Journey Through Turbulent Times”.

Words With My Father offers a gripping portrait of the evolution of a young man's mental illness and how it manifested into a dramatic and often dangerous existence through the turbulence of the Civil Rights, Peace and Conservation movements.

Hope In The Dark | Rebecca Solnit

Not from the tagged, but on Solnit‘s facebook page today:
“You don‘t need to be the whole wall against fascism yourself; you can just be a brick and if you can‘t be a brick, you can be a dab of mortar…”

@kspenmoll and all of us who need it right now.

GingerAntics I like the idea of being a dab of mortar. I‘d be awesome at that! 2mo

Hooked_on_books It‘s reassuring to be reminded that there are a whole lot of people who are not on board with this agenda, and that many of them are poised to actively fight against it. 2mo

dabbe We need to keep fighting and make our voices heard--even the dabs of mortar. I'm with ya on that one, @GingerAntics! 🩶🖤🩶 2mo
