I will be at BRLive this weekend but will check in often. Offer always open for pep talks & hope. Let's learn & take action together. #LitJustice #OverThis ❤️💪🏼
queerbookreader Keep the recs coming, everyone, you're killing it. I'll be gathering up the titles you give us over this weekend. Hit me up if you have any questions, comments, or you want a pep talk 💞 8y
Moray_Reads I recommend following Nikesh Shukla on Twitter. He edited The Good Immigrant and his feed is full of recs for BAME/POC writers/artists etc. He's doing a sterling job over here in the UK 💙💚💛💜❤ 8y
KVanRead Not a book, but this letter from Leslie Knope made me feel better today. Def one to share with our daughters. http://www.vox.com/first-person/2016/11/10/13580582/leslie-knope-donald-trump 8y

JessReads Sounds good! If I'm not in the store (might be on my break, depending on the time), just ask my coworker to call me in the break room! 8y
queerbookreader @seebiscan Thanks for the recommendation! I'm a major documentary junkie 8y
seebiscan @lemonlime799 No problem! Another I just thought of--Miss Representation. 8y

What's the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of AmericaLoretta Possibly mentioned but I'm hoping to read this soon. If this turns into a book club let me know. A friend and I are also going to be organizing a group on Facebook to connect people for volunteer and activism opportunities in the Boston area.

queerbookreader @DragonSadhana Very cool, thank you for the recs! 8y
queerbookreader @Loretta That book sounds super interesting, thank you so much for mentioning it. For now I think we just have plans to make this a syllabus, but we're hoping to spread it all over god's creation so this might be a cool thing to put in your group! What you're doing is rad. You can make some serious difference in Boston. Keep it up, and let me know if there's something we can do to help! 8y

A Is for ActivistLauraBeth @bookishfeminist - How are you able to get the URL that links back to your original Litsy post? I want to reference an earlier post for someone but have no idea how to do it 😀 8y
BookishFeminist @LauraBeth The arrow next to the stack button allows you to share a post! I usually click copy & it copies the link. If that doesn't work you can click to text message it and then just copy the URL that way. 😀 8y
LauraBeth @BookishFeminist WHY have I never noticed that?! 😂😂 thanks! 8y
BookishFeminist @LauraBeth 😂 It's not super easy to figure out - I didn't until I saw a video on Litsy's Instagram page for how to share a post. But you're welcome! 8y
BookishFeminist We Will Not Be Silent: The White Rose Student Resistance Movement That Defied Adolf Hitler 8y
We Will Not Be Silent: The White Rose Student Resistance Movement That Defied Adolf HitlerMoray_Reads I'm reading an essay by Zadie Smith on the interwar broadcasts of EM Forster and while I don't really enjoy his fiction his essay 'What I Believe' is really interesting, particularly considering the year (1938). It's very English and very Edwardian but I think important and relevant. This is a long fight we're in after all. http://spichtinger.net/otexts/believe.html You can also hear him read it on Spotify #overthis 8y
