Litsy

War and Peace: Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky | Leo Tolstoy

Only 38. I took 18th and 19th century Russian lit in college, so I did have those long ones! I might have read more, but can‘t really remember. 🤔

Some folks have shared that they are unhappy with Litsy not being as book-focused and happy as before. As many of you know, I, for one, have found it difficult to be Pollyanna Positive when the world seems to be crashing down upon us. I don‘t use any social media except Litsy, and some days I do need to rant—not just about politics but about life‘s annoyances and sufferings, and sharing human angst with my Litten friends really does help. ⬇️

dabbe From now one, though, I will use the hashtag #ranttime on any of my bigger rant posts, so if you don‘t want to ever hear me rant again, please block that hashtag, and you won‘t get my gripes, especially about the hell-weather that is Phoenix! 😂 If that‘s not sufficient enough and you need to unfollow me, please do so. I do not mean to offend anyone, but I can‘t pretend that the world is perfect either. ⬇️ 2mo

dabbe ALL of us post about sadness, anger, hurt, etc. I think it‘s just the politics that have quite a few of us enraged. If others want to join me and use the same hashtag, that might alleviate some of our angst on all sides. And thank you to anyone who took the time to read this. 🩶💚🩶

P.S. I did post a dog picture of Joe Cool. That counts for some happiness, right? 🤗 2mo

kspenmoll I love your idea. #ranttime it is. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 And Joe Cool is positive! (edited) 2mo

Deblovestoread Thanks, Denise for posting this and giving us a hashtag. Litsy is more than books and reading. It‘s community, so the lines get blurred a bit. We cheer each other on, offer an ear when things are hard and buck each other up when the world is on fire. #ranttime (edited) 2mo

dabbe @kspenmoll 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

AmyG @Deblovestoread Exactly! And thanks Miss @dabbe (edited) 2mo

KadaGul @dabbe Most of us are adults, and we understand the importance of communicating thoughtfully and respectfully. I don't think any of us are callous. Nowadays, it feels like we offend someone every time we speak. It's especially concerning to see that many of the people we care about are facing marginalization and having their rights infringed upon. I love the idea 💡 of #RANTTIME. 2mo

ncsufoxes Yup & yup! I think for those of especially that feel like our lives are under attack (mom of 3 neurodivergent kids, wife of oncology research scientist that works for NCI, mom of kid in college studying environmental sciences, being a woman). I don‘t want to be Debbie Downer either but it‘s hard to ignore what‘s going on when there is so much at stake for some of us (pretty much 90% of us). Also we have to speak up. Being silent is being 2mo

ShelleyBooksie I still love Litsy ❤️😍 2mo

ncsufoxes complicit & that is what they want. I won‘t be quiet & I won‘t back down because I have a f-in heart & I care too much about people. #ranttime is over…for now 2mo

ShelleyBooksie And you @dabbe ♡ - rant away 2mo

Aims42 Love the hashtag! Will use it also 👏 2mo

Suet624 Sad to see that people can‘t relate to the anger/depression that a lot of us are experiencing. You would think a literary community would understand the significance of this moment. However, I appreciate what you‘re trying to do and I‘ll try to adhere to it. 2mo

Librarybelle ❤️❤️❤️ Litsy has always been a source of comfort to me. We are in very trying times, and reading itself has become a political issue. There have been comments for years over the lack of reading content on Litsy, and I have admittedly muted a hashtag or two when certain posts have become a bit much. As @Deblovestoread , we‘re a community. It‘s good to have a hashtag—I may have to use it the next time I feel like screaming over current events! 2mo

dabbe @KadaGul 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @ncsufoxes I'll always be here to listen and support. 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @ShelleyBooksie Me, too, m'dear! ❣️🤩❣️ 2mo

dabbe @ShelleyBooksie 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @Aims42 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @Suet624 I can't say I'll be perfect by any means, and I totally hear what you're saying. 🎯🎯🎯 I guess I'm giving people a way to only see happy things if they want to, though I have no idea how that's possible in this current environment. #ranttime 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle The hashtags are really helpful during #Scarathlon and #WinterGames, aren't they? 🤣 This place is a place of comfort for me, too, and the fact that we can share good/bad/ugly and receive the utmost support says so much about the people in this community. But I can't pretend things in the world are great, and I can't not post when I need support. 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @Librarybelle And use away!!! #ranttime anytime! I'll be happy to listen and support! 💚🩶💚 2mo

dabbe @AmyG 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

AnnCrystal I'm good with variety posts too...of course, I'm rather new here on Litsy (when compared to many Littens) and only know the Litsy as it has been since my joining this magical community.

I find Litsy a safe place, a gathering place that serves a community of members like a mom and pop bookstore. We recognize one another if we visit often. We learn about one another, celebrate each other, offer emotional support, etc.

👇

2mo

AnnCrystal Also, as a community of readers, teachers, and creatives, I believe it is important for us to keep each other informed in our crazy world. We are the ones the suppressors try to silence out in the real world.

Litsy has become a home on the world wide web. Thank you and all the Littens who make this place absolutely wonderful 🫂📚💝. (edited) 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau ❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

LiseWorks Well, now #Ranttime is a really awesome idea. I am always ready to listen and know I'm not the only one feeling like the world is going to shits. 2mo

DogMomIrene I like non-reading posts, incl political ones. To me, Litsy is such a diverse group of thinkers. I want to know what other people are experiencing & how they‘re feeling about the world turning to 💩 under a fascist. My dogs are named Bernie & Lizzie, after the Senators. I started our move to 🇨🇦 after Kavanaugh was confirmed & it was obvious we lost the SC. I love the hashtag for allies experiencing fatigue, but any MAGAts here can unfollow me. 2mo

CSeydel Well TIL that you can mute hashtags in Litsy 😆 2mo

CSeydel (I still can‘t figure out how to do it, but it‘s nice to know I theoretically could!) 2mo

Hooked_on_books I don‘t think that‘s a necessary action, but it‘s kind of you to do. I feel reading is resistance and political and don‘t mind at all. When people post a lot about their personal lives instead of books, I just tend not to follow them. It‘s so easy to unfollow someone if their content isn‘t to one‘s liking. It‘s too bad people feel the need to rant about what others write. When it‘s your own account, I say write whatever you want/need. 2mo

Bookwomble @CSeydel You can mute tags on the website, I dint think you can do it in the app 🙂 2mo

CSeydel @Bookwomble aha! 2mo

Bookwomble Litsy is the only social media site I use (and Goodreads a little bit from habit), and it's been incredibly positive for my mental health that I've come off Twitter and Facebook. I can't say that I've noticed you ranting, Deb, but perhaps our rantings mesh so that it just seems like rational discourse to me 😄 I think I've only come across one Trumpian Litten, who blocked me (world's smallest 🎻). I won't be blocking your tag 😊 2mo

Bookwomble The only tags I've blocked relate to an incredibly popular and (imho) overrated notorious billionaire transphobe. What is it about billionaires and their shitty attitudes? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 2mo

Amiable @Hooked_on_books @ncsufoxes I feel the same. If people don‘t like my posts if/when they stray into rants about the hellscape unfolding around us, unfollow me. It won‘t hurt my feelings. I can‘t bury my head in the sand and pretend there‘s nothing horrible happening around us. (OMG, I think I just ranted about #ranttime. 😳😀) Denise, you have a kind heart. I‘m grateful to have found you here. ❤️ 2mo

kspenmoll @DogMomIrene Canada is so lucky to have you. I am happy you are able to move. 2mo

kspenmoll @Amiable So well stated. Thank you. We need each other now.❤️ 2mo

kspenmoll @Bookwomble Happy we have found like minded people here. By nature & politics, books are political- why would have so many been burned over the centuries if not so? 2mo

kspenmoll @Librarybelle @💕💕💕💕 2mo

kspenmoll @ncsufoxes 👍🏻👍🏻 2mo

kspenmoll @IMASLOWREADER 👍🏻 2mo

kspenmoll @Lesliereadsalot 👍🏻 2mo

DogMomIrene @kspenmoll Thank you! We love it here. It‘s not perfect, but more people here ask “what do we owe one another” than “what‘s in it for me?” And I definitely feel like our taxes go to services that help, support, and connect people. 2mo

kspenmoll @Suet624 💕 2mo

bthegood “Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we must all protest.” (Martin Luther King Jr.)
-like @Bookwomble this is my only social media - I enjoy the way people express themselves here - so
#ranttime no judgement on how you need and want to express yourself - glad you are a part of my Litsy world - (edited) 2mo

TheLudicReader The alternative to ranting is to keep that shit inside and that‘s not healthy. The world is a dumpster fire right now and as my grandfather used to say “better an empty house than a bad tenant”. I think he was talking about farts, but sometimes you just gotta let one of those farts/rants rip. I will not be blocking the tag. Litsy is still a happy place for me. 😘😘😘 2mo

dabbe @CSeydel I don't know about the Litsy app, but from the website, if you click on your Profile icon, you can then click on “Settings/Import.“ At the very bottom of that page, there's a place that says “Mute hashtags.“ You can then type in exactly which hashtags you'd like to mute. 🤩 2mo

dabbe @Bookwomble TY! I think we do mesh, too! 💚🩶💚 2mo

JenReadsAlot ❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

Julsmarshall Well said all! If your privilege allows you to look away while others in our community are being attacked, lucky you. The rest of us may need to rant, cry, support, and lift up others and I‘m here to applaud and take part in that. Books and readers have asked the hard questions and been activists for ever and we won‘t stop now. 2mo

ElizaMarie #RantTime --- I love it! I think this is a perfect way to clue people in on what type of post they are about to read (I for one am all for it!) I think Listy is a lovely place, I feel very close to some of yall I have “met“ here and would love to hear and “rant“ with yall :) We are here for each other! 2mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

The_Penniless_Author Amen @dabbe. Litsy is such a great community because of how thoughtful, kind, and supportive its users are. There are a lot of people on here going through difficult times right now, and it's at times like this that such a community is most needed. I love reading for lots of reasons - entertainment and escape, yes, but also to learn and to increase empathy for others. If we can't apply these lessons in the real world, what was all the reading for? 2mo

TheBookHippie @The_Penniless_Author 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2mo

DebinHawaii I love your post & totally agree. Reading is resistance & I love the supportive community on Litsy & how much so many care about others & each other. Although books bring us together, community is what makes many of us stay. I won‘t be blocking/muting your hashtag. The world we live in is a shitshow & we all are facing our own difficulties so ranting is needed as much as finding joy. I appreciate you and this post. 💛💛💛 2mo

Read4life @dabbe @TheBookHippie I‘ve seen your posts about speaking up and unfollowing. I know I‘ve been on infrequently as I don‘t have the greatest connection here in the VI but I have missed the posts complaining about non book related posts. I either don‘t follow them or I‘ve just skipped over them. Isn‘t that akin to banning books? I mean, if you don‘t like it… don‘t read it. Right? Pet posts, life updates, etc are often not book related & they are ⬇️ 2mo

Read4life quite popular. I find your hashtag amusing, @dabbe , but wish you didn‘t even have to think of one. Express yourself!!! I learn so much from people on here & have had important issues & upcoming changes brought to my attention through Litsy. Thank you, both, for being a big part of why I enjoy & treasure Litsy. 💙💙💙 2mo

Alora I feel this! Litsy, goodreads and snapchat are the only social media I have. I deactivated everything else and it's been wonderful! I don't post very often here though because I stick to posting books and I'm a slow reader lol 😆 2mo

dabbe @Alora I bet you're not a slow reader. You're someone who relishes every word. Big difference! 💚🩶💚 2mo

MemoirsForMe I‘ve been on Litsy for 9 years and this community has been such a caring and comforting place. We‘ve been there for each other thru a lot already…the pandemic, times of grief, health issues and many ups and downs. I don‘t consider these rants, I consider this being real and authentic. And that‘s who I want to hang out with here, especially during these difficult and scary times. You‘ve got my support! 👊🏻❤️ 2mo

Cuilin I didn‘t read all the comments so somebody may have made this point already but books and reading are political. I approve this message, rant away.💗 2mo

dabbe @MemoirsForMe TY! 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin How can they not be, right? Let's all rant away when we need to! 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 2mo

Alora @dabbe awe yes I love that!! I definitely do savor every word. I'll reread a sentence multiple times if I dont fully understand it or grasp the picture of it 2mo

dabbe @Alora As a retired high school English teacher, what I wouldn't have given if my students had done more of that! 🤩🤣🤗 2mo

Catsandbooks You keep being you Deb! Rant away! I'll be right there with you! Communities are supposed to support one another especially during difficult times. To be there for the good and bad. If people don't like something, then they can grow up and scroll on. Keep up the good fight! ✊🏼🔥❤️ 2mo

The_Book_Ninja 69 Comments?!? The support for non-literary posts on Litsy that you have garnered under this post has given me the confidence to post a really tasteful photo I have of myself laying on my tummy, on a faux fur rug in front of a crackling fireplace, totally naked except for a strategically placed blanket and a cheeky looking-over-my-glasses, come-hither expression while reading 50 Shades of Grey.

EmberIvyRose Heartbreaking 3mo

Meshell1313 Such a terrible tragedy. 💔 (edited) 3mo

TheLudicReader So sad. How does a think like that even happen? 3mo

MaureenMc 😞💔 3mo

Deblovestoread Oh no! I hadn‘t seen this. Beyond heartbreaking especially with #ldf‘s response. 3mo

dabbe @AmyG @Aims42 @DaveGreen7777 @AnnCrystal @InkedBookworm13 @Librarybelle Susanita @EmberIvyRose @Meshell1313 @TheLudicReader @MaureenMc @Devlovestoread
Unbelievably sad and to have the #ldf (lame-duck felon) blame Biden and his “diversity in hiring“ policy is beyond horrific. 😔🥺🤬 3mo

InkedBookworm13 @dabbe of course he will. He can't admit it's because he fired the heads of the TSA, the coast guard and the members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee last week. 3mo

Aims42 @dabbe Pete Buttigieg‘s response was perfect: @pete.buttigieg/post/DFdUI9_R7EB?xmt=AQGzAV-_GKXyocYCbf5gIgGVsa8XyJQpLtFPG32kpLA2-A" rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://www.threads.net/@pete.buttigieg/post/DFdUI9_R7EB?xmt=AQGzAV-_GKXyocYCbf5... 3mo

dabbe @Aims42 @InkedBookworm13 How oh how are we going to be able to withstand 4 years of this? It's only week 2! 😫 3mo

Aims42 @dabbe That‘s the big question 🫣🫠 I think my forehead is going to have a permanent dent in it from all the facepalming I‘ve done 🤦‍♀️ 3mo

dabbe @Aims42 And the big crease I have on my forehead above my nose is going to become an abyss by all the eye-scrunching-in-disbelief I have done and will be doing. 😝 3mo

Aims42 @dabbe Haha! Same 🤣 I don‘t know if it‘s worth investing in anti-wrinkle cream, I don‘t think there‘s enough in the world for how much we‘ll need 🤨😆 3mo

marleed It‘s all so tragic. I‘ve thought of little else today. 3mo

ncsufoxes Our school district (Frederick, MD) just said one of the victims was a student (she was an ice skater). 3mo

ncsufoxes It‘s also disgusting to blame it on DEI as well as mental health & disabled individuals 3mo

dabbe @Aims42 #amensista! 🤩😂😘 3mo

dabbe @marleed It's beyond difficult to comprehend. I flew out of D.C. once, and it was terrifying going over the Potomac bridge. I can't even imagine what they went through. 😫 3mo

dabbe @ncsufoxes I heard that two of them were teenagers. Beyond horrific. 😔 3mo

dabbe @ncsufoxes RE: @Aims42 posted link above, Pete Buttigieg described Trump's words as “despicable.“ Agree 💯 with his word and yours. ❣️ 3mo

AmyG He will blame anyone and anything. He takes responsibility for the successes only. He does not care. 3mo

TheBookHippie These poor people. Their poor loved ones can‘t even grieve. Such an unnecessary loss. Cheeto satan is awful. FYI Mr BookHippie lands here often 😵‍💫 that helps the anxiety. 3mo

CBee @dabbe see, I haven‘t watched the news at all - of course I knew about the crash but wasn‘t aware of what #ldf said about it. I‘m so glad I have you all here on Litsy - I think we‘ll make it through the next four years if we stick together ♥️ 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Next to San Diego's airport, it is one of the scariest airports to fly into our out of. Stay safe, Mr. BookHippie! 🩶🩵🩶 3mo

dabbe @AmyG Well, maybe when he makes completely boneheaded moves, and the majority of us fight back, he'll back-peddle because all he wants is to be ADORED. The biggest narcissist in the universe. 3mo

dabbe @CBee Agree 💯, m'dear. I need to stop reading the news and just wait to hear bits and pieces. I just can't tolerate much more than that. 🩶🩵🩶 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe OMG SAN DIEGO no I loathe it AND THE CORONADO BRIDGE just NO !!!! 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie To fly over or drive over? I felt trippy driving over the Mackinac Bridge, too! 😱 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe DRIVE!! 😵‍💫 and I agree about Mackinac I‘ve done it in winter !! 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Holy guacamole, Batman! 😱 3mo
