🌀 this book opened doors that I‘m still learning how to walk-through. & for that, I know I‘ll be returning to it‘s pages later on in life. I feel it reaching toward me, but there are pieces I know I‘ll understand more deeply with time and experience. #nonfiction #audiobook #feminism #naturalitsy #reading #booklover #bibliophile #uncommon

📚Reading Reflections At78%📚
As powerful as Blackie's words are- I have a problem with such stark contrast between lyrical storytelling & the raw, messy edges of everyday life...
However, I admire that she shares voices of other women, offering #ecofeminism & real-life examples of how we can shape our own journey & bring that wisdom back into your immediate world.

This historical graphic novel is wonderful so far! It's a sapphic re-imagining of the true story of Helena “Nell“ Cusack, NYC stunt-girl reporter who exposed terrible conditions in garment factories.

Today‘s #bookmail courtesy of Haymarket Books: two of the last Solnit books I didn‘t already have (and part of her “Haymarket rainbow”), plus this book on AI that looks very interesting but wasn‘t released as an ebook (ironic, I think).

The title is pretty self explanatory in what its about.

I feel that I finally had some arguments if I ever where to get into a discussion with a pro-lifer. And that actually feels great.

For me gaslighting was a term that suddenly turned about and was everywhere. Now I feel that I finally understand what it is and how it‘s used

I‘m so glad #SheSaid made me aware of this book so I read it

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m glad you liked it, or at least got some interesting things from it. Her other book Down Girl was very good too. (edited) 2mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa For gaslighting, I think I need to track down the original play now and read it. 2mo

#Read2025

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️

DebinHawaii … Published in 2020, the examples like the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, incel gun rampages, and the #MeToo movement are still relevant in 2025 since little has changed & we have even gone further backwards in some respects. Still reading this book, spreading the message & most importantly acting on it are the only ways to bring about change. 2mo

Hello #SheSaid. Posting a bit later today. I hope you are all finishing up with the book and if not learning a lot, at least feeling less alone and “gas lighted” when you are in certain situations and being told it‘s normal, not a problem, etc.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Wow! The tags even posted without issues today! I need to post late more often 🤣 2mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk last week, I tried for literally hours. Logged out, back in, tried again. Let it sit after I hit enter, tried typing each in individually and then picking from the drop-down list of names. Anything I could think of….and nothing. I gave up after a few hours and just hoped you‘d find it by the tag. Today, copy & pasted the list in and it went right through and popped up as a comment immediately. 2 seconds 2mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Litsy may be gaslighting me 😂 2mo
DebinHawaii @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Hah! But how frustrating! I finished the book this morning. It was a good but also frustrating read. 2mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @DebinHawaii I felt the same, but I also feel better knowing that I‘m not imagining the problems or the scope of the problems 2mo
vlwelser I'm glad the tags worked. I'm ready (ish) to jump back in for the next book. I don't have the book yet but it's on hold at the library so forward progress is happening. 2mo
AllDebooks I enjoyed this, despite its reiteration of well documented inequalities. Written well with some good insights 2mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser sometimes any forward progress is good progress. Even if it‘s just a tiny bit 2mo
staci.reads I thought the book finished strong. The chapter Unelectable- On the Entitlement to Power - was especially relevant after the last election. The part about the backlash against Klobachar after her perceived "disloyalty" to Al Franken was new information for me. I really liked her discussion of communality and the effect that expectation has on women in power. That hit home for me personally. 2mo
vlwelser 🤗 2mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @staci.reads there was a great footnote about Harris too, from the primaries…which was very relevant now too. 2mo

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

I'm a day late, but I wanted to join in. The last few months have been awful. However, the last few days, I've started feeling so much better. 🤞I'm out of the cycle of constant asthma flare-ups and chest infections.
My 5 joys are
1) 🌞📚☕️🐞🦋🐦‍⬛🦉
2) The dawn chorus
3) Gloria
4) It's Mother's Day tomorrow, thinking about my beautiful mum, gone for 22 years but never forgotten.
5) My aunt's gorgeous yellow magnolia

AllDebooks Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my aunt's untimely death. Her magnolia that she gifted to me is about to come into bloom. 💔🌸💔 2mo
Librarybelle ❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

DebinHawaii I love your joys & I‘m so glad you are feeling better. 💛💛💛 Having been on that cycle of asthma flare-ups & chest & sinus stuff last year, I truly understand how awful & exhausting it is. Wishing you ongoing better health. 🙏🏼 2mo
kspenmoll I can do relate to asthma, chest infections cycle. Hope your heath continues to improve.💜💜 2mo

Happy #Chatterday 🌞

It is a bloomin' gorgeous spring day. 🌞☕️🌞 I'm sitting in the garden with a coffee. And I actually feel really well today for the first time in months.

How is everyone today?

@Bookwormjillk @dabbe @Cuilin @kelli7990 @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @Catsandbooks

Bookwormjillk Happy Saturday! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well. What a winter for you!

It's going to be a nice day here too. I'm doing some paperwork now, but planning on hitting a book sale in a bit then spending all the hours possible outside. I have a bunch of seeds I need to plant.
2mo
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk that sounds like my idea of a perfect day. Enjoy x 2mo
Cuilin So glad you‘re having a good day!! 💚We‘re having a winter storm warning till noon tomorrow. 😣 My body is still adjusting to new meds. I‘m going to see David Sedaris Sunday night!! Today will be mostly an indoor day. 📖 2mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk Wishing and hoping for spring weather here in New England. Enjoy! 2mo
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin hope it comes soon! We seem to have gone straight from winter to summer here. 2mo
AnnCrystal Glad you're feeling better 🙏🏼💝. 2mo
TheBookHippie @Cuilin Hope your body adapts soon!! It‘s winter here through April at least! 2mo
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk have fun!!! 📚📚📚 2mo
TheBookHippie I am achy today but I‘ve pushed a lot this week to be able to do things I want to do. Just tea and books! Spring arrives mid May here if we‘re lucky! 2mo
TheBookHippie Glad you‘re finally having a good day!!! Yay!! 2mo
quietlycuriouskate So glad you are feeling better! Mr K and I had a (necessary) fight, which turned into a deep conversation followed by a walk to the library. On balance it's good, but I'm feeling rather out of sorts ‘cause I hate it when my plans are derailed without warning. 2mo
dabbe Glad you're feeling good! 🤩 Pippa had a seizure yesterday, so we're staying in today and taking it easy. She usually needs a day off to recuperate, so books and dog cuddles! Hope everyone is having a lovely day. 🩵💙🩵 2mo
AllDebooks @Cuilin Oh wow, #fangirling Let us know what he was like 😀 2mo
AllDebooks @AnnCrystal thank you x 2mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie thank you. Make sure you're well rested. x 2mo
AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate oh dear. Sometimes, it is necessary to clear the air and reach a resolution. I hope the rest of your day came good. X 2mo
AllDebooks @dabbe oh no, poor Pippa. Hope she's recovering and you're both making the best of a slow day x 2mo
BooksandCoffee4Me I love that phrase: “A bloomin‘ gorgeous spring day” 💛 2mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe awe poor pup! 2mo
dabbe @AllDebooks TY! 🩵💙🩵 2mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie She is such a trooper! 🩵💙🩵 2mo
DebinHawaii So glad you are feeling well today! 💜 I‘m at the coffee shop for a bit catching up on reading & cards & relaxing after a busy week. Planning for a mellow weekend. 2mo
DebinHawaii @Cuilin I love David Sedaris! @dabbe I hope Pippa recuperates well! 💜 2mo
dabbe @DebinHawaii She's resting well today. Poor girl takes 24 pills a day to keep her epilepsy in check, and she still has at least one seizure a month. She's a brave girl. 🖤🐾🖤 2mo
AllDebooks @BooksandCoffee4Me ❤️🌸❤️ 2mo
AllDebooks @DebinHawaii I hope you had a restful weekend x 2mo
