Absolutely beautiful! Listening to this book was like a big hug with lots of learning.

Another fantastic volume in the Sarah's Scribbles collection! I always enjoy her work, but I especially liked some of the darker stuff in this one and seeing her take on covid. If only the digital version had stickers!

This was just so excellent. It should be required reading in every middle and high school. The graphic novel edition takes Snyder's text on how tyrannical governments get power -- and how to resist -- and makes it even more accessible. Definitely going to be gifting this to my nephew!

Side note: I was reading this during #potteraday and saw so many parallels! HP + On Tyranny would make an excellent course together.

This collection was beautiful! I found myself highlighting so much. ?

'Before water was used as ballast for ships, mud, rocks, and earth were shovelled into the hulls from around the harbour where a ship was launched. Seeds and plants were often included in the mix, and when dumped out upon arrival ... these plants took root and thrived. Many of the invasive species in North America were introduced here as “ballast waifs.“ Now many of these ballast grounds ... have become archaeological sites.'

Lovelace's poetry always speaks to my heart, and this collection was no different! I stand a bit taller; hold my head a little higher. ?

“if every other girl is queen anne's lace,
then i'm poison hemlock.

at first glance,
we look exactly the same,

until someone gets too close“
