The Outrage | William Hussey

pick

I was prompted to reread The Outrage after watching the Russell T Davies political thriller, Years and Years, but honesty, I couldn't have chosen a worse time to do so. The Tories are waging a war against LGBTQ+ rights every day, from the criminalisation of puberty blockers to the amendment of the Equality Act and the detention of asylum seekers. This dystopian fascist Britain doesn't seem so far away anymore. #liberation #pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Pride Month Litsy! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I usually compile a fiction reading list for Pride, but I‘ve decided to get the tagged book instead this year. I have a tiny studio apartment and I‘m wondering if anyone owns photo books on kindle/tablet and if that works or if this is the kind of thing I just need to carve out space for?

Tonton Just me, but photography and art books, absolutely physical. Otherwise Kindle, though will buy book to have to hold sometimes. 1y

arubabookwoman I have a Kindle Fire and it's a bit small for many art/photo books, although the color reproduction is great. I put the Kindle App on my iPad, and I find that most art, quilting, photography, etc books are just fine-the colors are great and size is usually good. There are sill some I want the physical books but for many the Kindle App on the iPad is great. 1y

IndoorDame @Tonton @arubabookwoman thank you both for helping me think things through! ❤️🙏 I sourced a used physical copy so I think I‘m going to spring for that this time, but I‘m excited to try out the digital option in the future with ones my library has and see if they work well on my devices. 1y

Powerful. Amazing. If we had a coffee table, this would be on it.

“Truth cannot be separated from the people‘s struggle and the hopes and dreams that arise from that struggle. Truth is that transcendent reality, disclosed in the people‘s historical struggle for liberation, which enables them to know that their fight for freedom is not futile.”
