Liz_M I just read EWs Ghost Stories! Excellent writing even if the stories are not great. 2w

Dilara @Liz_M I agree. have a couple left to read: the plots are hit and miss, but Edith Wharton could make the phone-book interesting... And she has such an ear for dialogue. 2w

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century | Timothy Snyder

pick

This book is a reminder of the things you should hold dear. The things that truly COULD make us great, or at least could reinvest in real patriotism. It is an expanded listicle of 20 “lessons“ from the twentieth century. If you feel you lack courage to resist, throw this tiny book in your bag and take it out and reread it as you wait for the bus.
Make eye contact and small talk (#12).
Start somewhere.

A little all-over-the-place, but then again, so am I.

Deblovestoread All of this! And thanks for posting the actions list. With all that‘s thrown at us it would be near impossible to not be all over the place but we will do it together. 3mo

Leftcoastzen Great post ! 3mo

lil1inblue @Deblovestoread You're welcome! IRL, I often hear people talk about how they aren't able to protest for myriad reasons. But protesting comes in more forms than marching with a sign! 3mo
