“When money triumphs over morals, equality loses.”

I chose this book (before reading it) for my company‘s DEI book club February meeting in observance of Black History Month. I want to blow this quote up on the Zoom screen. I want the whole firm to read it.

It‘s simple. It‘s so f*cking simple.

pdxannie What I also love about this quote is that it puts the power of equality in everyone‘s hands. This can be as simple as buying books from a local bookstore vs buying from Amazon, or making sure clothes are ethically made vs shopping at Zara. 3w

repost for @Cuilin:

I‘m just putting it out there for all to see. I will still do a monthly post. As a reminder, all are welcome to join this very low-key Buddy-read. All genres are included from graphic novels to spy thrillers, horrors and actual history books.

Histoire de la Finlande | Bernard Le Calloch

Bailing. A history of #Finland by an author who thinks nomadic tribes are uncultured and violent conquests are good for a country. Amateurish, unclear writing. You'd never think it was published in 2010 and not 1910.

Pretty good superficial view of German history since Roman times. Showed why Hitler seemed to be the answer in the early '30s. Don't look for a lot of details here, but OK overview. Took me longer to read than I thought, as usual.

I forgot to post the last book from the HPB sale this weekend.
