Welcome to Litsy!

Got 1/3 of the way through on my 2nd attempt. I'm just not following her arguments. Probably my fault.

I've had a small reading slump since the end of March. I only partially blame Beyonce's new album. 🤣 But now I'm getting back into the swing of things. And I'm finally getting around to posting April's #bookspin and #doublespin selections.

#ReadAway2024 #SheSays Cecile Richards comes from political royalty but she doesn‘t just ride her mother‘s coattails. She is a leader and a fighter for social equality. This book is inspiring and I give it all the stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read with #SheSaid & I‘m thankful for the group & @Riveted_Reader_Melissa as I‘m sure I wouldn‘t have picked it up without the push. I was able to track a hard copy down & get it transferred to my local library. It‘s both an interesting & important look at being an activist. I learned a lot about Planned Parenthood as well as the author, the daughter of Former Texas Governor Ann Richards. Impactful & inspiring.🩷

Hello #SheSaid!

I hope you are all enjoying the end of this read! It was a good one that I put off for a long time, but I think it came up to read here at the right time when I finally read it….some book serendipity..bookendipity …the right book at the right time when we really needed to hear it (especially if you live in the US… we have to make more trouble here I think before it gets better).

Let me know what you think in the comments

The former leader of Planned Parenthood inspires everyone to get involved and stand up for what you believe in. She also happens to be the daughter of Ann Richards whose story is also pretty epic.

Today‘s #libraryhaul. Getting ready for my spring vacation starting next week, April 7.

Her first call to her father after she was shot and the doctor told her not to cry. After she woke up she was constantly worrying about her father and how her family would pay for her medical care. I‘m reading this on my lunch break right now and that is the ONLY reason I‘m not bawling my eyes out!

“…a private matter, to be decided by the nation‘s citizens, and not its government. It‘s a fundamental right. Privacy in this context means the freedom from government intrusion.”

Holy smokes Batman. If this isn‘t the most small government argument for choice, I don‘t know what is. How Republicans can argue that the states should get to weigh in on these decisions, it‘s really messed up. Aside from like, controlling women.

Hello #SheSaid!

Sorry for the late post everyone. My grandmother is in the hospital and I spent the day there. Finally home and have Wi-Fi again (also ran out of data while I was out 🤣 bad planning on my part).

Apparently I was not ready to Make Trouble today….see you in the comments.

(And yes, my grandma is ok, might need a pacemaker, I‘ll know more tomorrow after some tests)
