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

pick

4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ March 2025 Bookclub Pick

First half better than the 2nd half. Enjoyed that the author came with facts and made historical comparisons. Did not expect it to predict current day issues despite being published in 2017.

Read These Banned Books: A Journal and 52-Week Reading Challenge from the American Library Association | American Library Association (ALA)

A pop up shop inside Changing Hands Tempe , Az. I heard the conversations of teachers & staff talking of all the controversies & challenges. Hey , I know that most Littens are profoundly aware of all of this , I was happy to see customers who are discovering for the first time the extent of this BS !

Hooked_on_books That‘s great visibility! Good for them for bringing attention to this. 1w

Literature Suppressed on Political Grounds | Nicholas J. Karolides

In the reference section of my Alma Mater working on a project for my Masters which I‘m getting at an entirely different university. But it‘s 5 hours from me and my Alma Mater is only 30 minutes. :D

This was a wild month. I read more books than there were days in the month (just). I read A LOT of good books, but also a fair share of meh books. Talk about an adventure.

Such a beautiful soul!
This is such an emotional rollercoaster. It was beautiful and heartbreaking, but also funny in places. I seriously wish we could stop policing children and labelling it “class disruption.” Children being themselves is not a disruption. It is honest. Maybe oddly, I‘m angry. I‘m so angry for this amazing human being, I‘m angry for other people living it right now, who are left with zero information about themselves and reality

GingerAntics because someone, somewhere is afraid of what isn‘t their lived experience. Don‘t even get me started on the teacher saying he would have been a slave owner. What the actual 🤬?! As an educator, I just don‘t see how in the hell those words could just slip out of someone‘s mouth. I guess we know what kind of person that teacher is. Those are the white people who make other white people ashamed to be white. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 1mo

GingerAntics 🤦🏼‍♀️ It‘s long since time we did better - SO much better - by our children in this country and around the world. #GeorgeMJohnson #AllBoysArentBlue #LGBTQIA+ #BeautifulHumanity #readthis 1mo

Leftcoastzen I thought it was excellent & powerful! 1mo

GingerAntics @Leftcoastzen oh my god the emotional rollercoaster!!! He is such a story teller, and his family is a good model for everyone! More families need to be like this one. … and oh my god the teacher who said “if I was alive then I‘d probably have slaves, too.” WTLF?! 1mo
