I found what I read about Roy Cohn to be interesting, I also did my own research as well. I really want to know what happened to his wife. I tried to see if he had gotten divorced at one point but couldn‘t find any information anywhere. I‘m more interested as to when he contracted HIV and if he could have passed it to his wife. I would assume he did not, but it is interesting. #thedivider #roycohn #lgbtqhistory #history #donaldtrump #law

The tagged book, this week‘s favorite and a 5⭐️ read for me, is an incredible compelling read about the British (and probably everywhere) law system in case of rape. Which is a clear trigger warning.

A brilliant and extremely painful book that touches me deeply. It‘s short, it‘s a play for a solo actor.
It‘s the story of Tessa, a successful barrister who is one day confronted with the patriarchal power of the law.
I can‘t believe law still works like that. And I do believe Tessa‘s story. Every man should read this book or see this play.

#WeeklyForecast 42/23

I am reading Keep it in the Family, which is super scary. Next will be the tagged, of which I‘ve heard such good things. Only I think I maybe grabbed the wrong version, as this is not the novel but the play?
Last but not least a Salman Rushdie, who I haven‘t read for years even though he used to be my favorite author.

MrsMalaprop Saw the play performed recently. It was 🔥. And yes there is a book and play version. 3w
BarbaraBB @MrsMalaprop Thanks for clearing that up. I hope the play is as good as the novel 🤞🏽 3w
squirrelbrain The play is the original version - the novel came later. 2w

“…In a solidarity union, the worker shares his or her grievance with a committee of co-workers. They decide together on a course of direct action to right the wrong, which the workers will lead. The workers thereby harness their own power and creativity rather than depending on ‘professionals.‘ Business unions sometimes say to members, ‘You are the union.‘ In a solidarity union, that proposition is true.”
