Pickpick

Funny take on the serious issues of racism & other-ness in the US written and read by an Iranian-American Social Justice Comedian. A nice break from super serious reading, but also a funny & thoughtful look at the Muslim American experience in this country during a time when muslims are often discriminated against as being all radical, terrorists, etc.Now off to look up her TED talk. 😉 #WNDB #DiversityMonday #MulticulturalMonday #ManyStoryMonday

Kathrin I really enjoyed this one too!!! 8y

Watching the author of this great book discussing the last political debate, the tapes, the body language, the gender components.... priceless! I can't wait to read the book she'll write when this election cycle is finished! #WeNeedDiverseBooks #ManyStoryMonday #DiversityMonday

Kathrin Where? Which program? Is that CNN?? 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I saw her on MSNBC on All In with Chris Hayes, I believe it repeats again overnight if you want to stay up or set it to record, or try their website. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Oh cool! I'll have to see if I can find it online. 👏🏻👏🏻 8y
KVanRead Oh good! I will look for it online. I've been thinking about her book so much. 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @KVanRead Me too! I just got her All the Single Ladies book in the mail yesterday, so as soon as I finish up some that I'm reading now, I'm diving into that one. 8y

Following on the #POCAuthors post for #somethingforsept, I would love to see a diversity reads hashtag take off. Monday doesn't have a theme that I know of, so how about #ManyStoriesMonday ? My first pick is this incredible memoir in verse. I love how poetry engages and connects us to another's emotional experience. What's your #MSM? Share it and hashtag it. Let's make this happen!!!👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

BookishFeminist We've got #DiversityMonday going off/on (more off lately because we've been slacking), but I like this idea & love this quote. I used it on my blog intro. 😊 8y
brendanmleonard @BookishFeminist you posted a thing a couple months ago with some great hashtags, i remember #wndb was one 8y

Zelma @brendanmleonard you were just enthusiastic about the post. 👍 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yea there is some #diversitymonday posts and some #diversityfriday posts, it just doesn't seem to want to catch like some of the other weekly hashtags. Maybe your more catchy hashtag will help it stick and stay! I like the sound of it personally. 8y
KVanRead @BookishFeminist Yes I love this quote too! 8y
KVanRead @BookishFeminist @brendanmleonard @Zelma @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have seen some of the other hashtags and really like them too. Maybe we can all start posting something a #manystorymonday post and include the other # too and see if get something to take off! 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Works for me! 8y
Zelma 👍👍👍 8y
