On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
#resistance #poetry
I am reading this book slowly. There is an overwhelming amount of information that requires thoughtful processing.
From this morning‘s pages out of the #MidWinterSolace book choice.
Really wish 🍑 would internalize this wisdom😮💨
bailedWhile I'm enjoying the daily tree for the #NaturaLitsy buddy read, I'm bailing on our #MidwinterSolace read after just 13 minutes listening. The author shared two classic pieces of bad advice as "good advice" including changing how you feel about your bad situation and looking at someone else's bad situation so you know yours isn't so bad. This is harmful in many contexts and encourage people to dismiss their lived experiences. @AllDebooks

Our friend, Varian Fry,(The Flight Portfolio) mentioned in relation to Arendt‘s ability to leave Europe for the USA. Life‘s intersections at work.

pickNo one talks Zen better than Alan Watts. I can‘t blame his son for cashing in on his father‘s legacy by publishing old audio lectures in book form. I kept this pocket gem in my work bag for the better part of last year. It kept me grounded and spiritually in a better place than I would have been otherwise.
bailedEnough with nonsense word salad. Be gone! 😂
The title is the only good part of this book.
