The Gulag Archipelago | Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers… we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”

— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

TheBookHippie I need a reread. So spot on. 2w

DGRachel Hmm…I think it‘s past time to try this in audiobook. I didn‘t get far in print, but I have wanted to read the unabridged version for decades. 2w

Go Back to Sleep | Jeannette Angel

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do
Safe from pain & truth & choice & other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep

Mimi28 How are you doing? 4w

Leftcoastzen This has been on my TBR for awhile 4w

Trashcanman @Mimi28 I‘m okay Michelle, how are you? How‘s the recovery going? What‘s new? What are you excited about? Today‘s been rough to be honest. I‘m pretty lonely. But overall better 3w

Mimi28 Glad you are ok and overall better 😊 The recovery is going well - MRI on Thursday to see what the next step will be because I am still in a lot of pain. They may have to fuse a couple of discs. What‘s new- this book I am reading I Am The Swarm is really making me think about how I chose or chose not to express my emotions. The main character has bugs come out when she is hiding something or didn‘t know she was hiding some emotion. They are 👇🏽 3w

Mimi28 All graceful but still creepy. Sorry you had a rough day. I know tomorrow will be better 🫶🏽😊🫶🏽🩷 3w

Fuck You George | Devon Harris

1) Not well. Tomorrow can be better though.
2) They‘re as phony as the orange Cheeto.

JenniferEgnor 1. Better than yesterday and Sunday. I was a mess…probably should see a therapist. 2. I‘d rather be honest…I think it‘s all bullshit. 1mo

Kerrbearlib I hope things are going better! Thanks for responding. I agree, some positive affirmations can definitely be fake. 4w

Trashcanman @JenniferEgnor I agree. I hope the messiness as it were is a little better. I like people that are a message. There‘s a sincerity in them that most people try so hard to hide from everyone, including themselves. 4w

Trashcanman @Kerrbearlib Things are day by day. I have Bi-polar disorder and MDD but I‘m trying. Things are actually a lot better than years ago and even months ago to be honest. (edited) 4w

Fuck You George | Devon Harris

They want silence more than freedom.
Not your chains, just your quiet.
Not your heart, just your hush.
They fear your voice like thunder,
Because truth breaks more than glass.
