Welcome to Litsy!

These two trans folks are trying to get out of Florida where it‘s no longer safe for them. I put the link to their gofundme in my bio. Please consider a donation, or at least sharing the link, to help them get to safety. Thanks 💜 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

#TransRightsReadathon with this slim volume of poetry,H.Melt blends the struggles of the movement for trans rights with the joy & support often found in this community.Also included, a study guide to educate yourself & others how we can improve our understanding & dismantle our assumptions.They grounded this collection with love .

Powerful, thought provoking poems. Many had me reminiscing about growing up in the 70s.

#poetryswap2021 #poetrylove @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie Thank you @sharread for this wonderful package! I can‘t wait to start on Aja Monet‘s poetry book. It has been on my TBR List for a while. I enjoyed communicating with you throughout this swap. Raisinets are my favorites and so are the Mike N Ikes!

A #PetPeeve for me: authors not giving citations or a bibliography in nonfiction work! Especially in something like this book, which introduces socialism. I would love some endnotes and a bibliography + further reading/learning list! 😤

My ❤️ @CounterfeitNickel loaned me this & told me to read it! PROS: Very easy, accessible read. Snarky, conversational tone. Solid little intro! CONS: Katch *intentionally* avoids giving citations or a bibliography, which is particularly frustrating in an introductory book. Generalizes a little too much about socialists (a really diverse group!). BOTTOM LINE: worth a read if you're interested in socialism or want to talk to people about socialism!

*Trying* to read some while I'm the chaplain on call at the hospital.

Coffee and reading date with my sweetheart today before he flew back to CA! I started the tagged, which he recently read, while he worked on the other pictured book (tagged below). Katch is snarky and conversational, and it's an entertaining read, but I don't agree with all of his takes. #bookdate #coffeeandbook @CounterfeitNickel 🥰

And with the tagged book, I finally hit my goal of 100 books in a year! I tried last year and missed by like 4 books. A global pandemic really gives you a lot of quiet time to read, you know.
