Expect Resistance: A Crimethink Field Manual | CrimethInc.

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."

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

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. 23h

CarolynM It is horrifying. Sending you whatever support I can from across the ocean. 21h

CarolynM @Tamra 💔 Hugs to you all. 21h

julesG I'm with you from across the pond. 21h

willaful @itsjustme40something I had never heard of Naomi Shulman but from the name, she might be a relative of mine. 18h

willaful @Tamra I'm so sorry you have to deal with that fear. It is wrong wrong wrong. 18h

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. 16h

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. 15h

CBee @Tamra sending you and your kids so much love 💔 13h

CBee @Amiable that isn‘t something to brag about - but I‘m sure he‘s very proud of himself 😳 13h

Deblovestoread @Tamra I am so sorry that you have to live this way. Sending hugs! 10h

dabbe @Tamra This is just horrific for you and your kids. You are in my thoughts. 💙🩶🖤 9h

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. 9h

As a stand alone book, it's a decent story. But as a sequel to The Bar Code Tattoo I was a disappointed with the direction it took.

I read The Bar Code Tattoo about 15-20 years ago and loved it (highly recommend it). I didn't know there was a sequel until I was browsing through a local indie bookstore and happened upon this.

I'm still wrapping my head around this wonderful middle grade novel that I didn't realize was a middle grade novel. I love Dave Eggers, & this one was no exception, especially with Ethan Hawke narrating!

Chains is a powerful story about a girl surviving slavery during the American Revolution. It‘s emotional, interesting, and helps students understand history through a real person‘s experience.

Chains | Laurie Halse Anderson

You can use this book to help students think about freedom, rights, and what life was like for enslaved people. It works well for discussions, character study, or connecting historical events to personal stories.

A sexually ambiguous man falls to pieces after a child-death and his marriage's demise. He turns to nearly every drug imaginable (religion, travel, sex, talk-therapy, family, folklore...) before reconnecting with a past love thought foregone; meanwhile, he comes into the inheritance of an ancestral...
