Here‘s a “book-related” post that succinctly explains the current state of the U.S. for those who are still trying to ignore it. Or even worse —justify it.

Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie @catiewithac @shortsarahrose @Susanita quite the reading list we are living in…perhaps a bit of Animal Farm too? @julesG not likely maybe saw the movie 19h

I can‘t anymore. I literally cannot. If you want Litsy to be only “book related,” I‘m sorry to inform you that it‘s too late for that. Those of us who read history know where this trajectory is going. Those of you who read historical fiction should also have an idea and a basic understanding. If you are hiding your head in the sand, you need to look up and look around you. We all need to be part of the solution. Now.

Aims42 Amen. And I‘m sorry if you‘ve received any negative feedback on what you‘re posting. Reading is political 🇺🇸 1d

itsjustme40something "Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren‘t nice people? Resisters."

Amiable @itsjustme40something I ❤️ this 1d

kspenmoll @itsjustme40something Great post & sentiment ! I am now following you. ✊🏻 1d

Suet624 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕💕 1d

ncsufoxes Reading is political. I for the life of me cannot understand how people cannot be upset about other people being hurt/murdered but get offended by books (or in my MILs case bad language 🙄). Or they get offended when you call them out on their racism/sexism/xenophobia, etc. Be a better F-n human. 1d

TheLudicReader This Canadian reader stands with those who understand that we are living in terrifying and horrific times. Wake up, people. 1d

Deblovestoread 🎯💯🎯💯 And those of you who voted for this shit need to pull off your rose colored glasses. They care about money and power and they will stomp over you as easily as they do the rest of us to get it. If you are not sickened yet by what happened in Minnesota yesterday or all the other atrocities that have happened you have lost your soul. 1d

Aims42 @ncsufoxes YES! It‘s way past time to be a better f*n human!!! We deserve better!! 1d

Aims42 @Deblovestoread Yes!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 1d

JenReadsAlot Omg I feel this! I'm beyond rage. 1d

ncsufoxes @Deblovestoread when my husband said to his mom recently that she was in a cult. She laughed & said to her husband, you hear that we‘re in a cult. She totally doesn‘t see that there is anything wrong. It was sickening. When they talk about how important reading is, she is a prime example of why reading is important (in the 20+ years I‘ve known her I‘ve never seen her read a book). 1d

Amiable @ncsufoxes My brother who is MAGA has actually bragged that he hasn‘t read a book since high school. He‘s 53 years old now. 1d

Tamra It‘s infuriating and debilitating in the hopelessness. Today I had to copy my kids‘ passports for them to carry bc they are foreign born and brown. WTF? As far as I‘m concerned it‘s willful stupidity & cruelty. (I‘m in MN.) (edited) 1d

Chrissyreadit 100% #readingisresistance #banfascistsnotbooks 1d

CoverToCoverGirl This Canadian believes that all these racist ancient mostly white men in power, want to subjugate the entire world. They are soulless beings. My heart and mind hurt more and more each and every day. I‘m sorry that your brother is too ignorant to realize how ignorant he truly is, very sad. 😢 Knowledge is power. 1d

CarolynM It is horrifying. Sending you whatever support I can from across the ocean. 23h

CarolynM @Tamra 💔 Hugs to you all. 23h

julesG I'm with you from across the pond. 23h

squirrelbrain Sending support from afar. 23h

willaful @itsjustme40something I had never heard of Naomi Shulman but from the name, she might be a relative of mine. 20h

willaful @Tamra I'm so sorry you have to deal with that fear. It is wrong wrong wrong. 20h

Amiable @Tamra I‘m so sorry that you and your kids have to live like this. They must be terrified. 💔 And yes—the cruelty is the point. 18h

Tineke From across the ocean I am with you. Not even being safe to walk on the streets, just because of your name or how you look or that you're protesting... it's horrifying and unimaginable and it happens. 17h

CBee @Tamra sending you and your kids so much love 💔 15h

CBee @Amiable that isn‘t something to brag about - but I‘m sure he‘s very proud of himself 😳 15h

Deblovestoread @Tamra I am so sorry that you have to live this way. Sending hugs! 12h

dabbe @Tamra This is just horrific for you and your kids. You are in my thoughts. 💙🩶🖤 11h

dabbe They cried loudly when Kirk was murdered but are completely silent when Renee Good is murdered. Where's all the enraged righteousness for her untimely death, Maga people? If you voted for this evil goon, I don't know how you can literally get out of bed and face the day. Your vote for this administration is what has unleashed absolute chaos. As @TheBookHippie said, even nature is unhinged. Wake up. To @Amiable: 💙✊🏻💙 Thank you. 11h

Art Spy: The Extraordinary Untold Tale of WWII Resistance Hero Rose Valland | Michelle Young

I love the rabbit holes I go down. In the book they‘re talking about an art collectors home that was also an art gallery and the home itself sound beautiful with its geometrically pattern, yellow and Ochs marble floor and sweeping candle delivered marble staircase with a cast-iron railing. I googled it and found a photo of a photo of the staircase.

Gabrïele did give me some nougats of knowledge I‘m thankful for. I now know more about Guillaume Apollinaire, which adds more depth to this section of the nonfiction book, The Art Spy ?️

Oh my gosh @Hooked_on_books the little Sietje is so cool! You did really get her markings right! I love her. I always love opening your gifts, every book is exciting. The tagged fits perfectly with one of my bookclub topics for 2026- Someone You Admire. 🙂 I can‘t wait to visit old Venice with The Glassmaker. I absolutely love the cover of Playground and Overstory is an all time favorite so I‘m sure this‘ll be great. And you know I love an older⬇️

Soubhiville Main character, so I look forward to meeting Agnes Sharp. My mom and I will have fun with this banned books puzzle. Thank you for everything. I hope you and Bindi get some good reading time in today. If you have pics of some of your other craft projects I always love seeing them! Merry Christmas! 🎄💚 2w

Hooked_on_books You‘re so welcome! I really enjoyed making little Sietje. I think the real deal is such a cute dog, and I knew she would look great in crochet. I‘m glad I got her right. Merry Christmas to you! 2w

Hooked_on_books @kspenmoll Yes, I did! I modeled her after Soubhi‘s dog, Sietje. 2w
