We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl�, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement | Andi Zeisler

I thought maybe this one might resonate a little bit more intensely with us bookish folk.

abbielistenstobooks stars yes! I couldn't agree with this more 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @abbielistenstobooks This was just the start. She goes into detail about movies (then and now). Then reality TV, Sex and the City, and so, so much more. 5y

We Were Feminists Once: From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl�, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement | Andi Zeisler

“But while “feminism” has become a buzzword everywhere from Madison Avenue to Hollywood, the actual issues crucial to feminism‘s forward movement are as threatened as ever.”

Lots of quotable ideas in this book. Be prepared to see a few ... 😎

The Sun Is Also a Star | Nicola Yoon

Started this audio book this morning on my drive home from taking the kiddo to school! I LOVE the full cast narrators & so intrigued by the two different cultures of the MCs (Jamaican & Korean)! This quote was too great not to share ❤️👏 #quotesoflitsy

staci.reads Great book. Great quote. 6y

TheBookKeepers @staci.reads I'm really digging it so far! Did you read or listen to the audio? 6y

staci.reads @TheBookKeepers Read it. I can't do audiobooks. I've found out I'm not an auditory learner...I need visual 🙄 6y

My Life on the Road | Gloria Steinem

As we are prepping for our move into our new tiny home, I'm throwing out so much junk that idk how we ever accumulated all of it! Less is more, & I totally feel Gloria on this thought!! #quotesofLitsy

Laura317 I‘ve always been intrigued with tiny homes. They seem so freeing. 6y

TheBookKeepers @Laura317 I'm so excited to move in! Ours is a 600 sq ft home but has a sunroom in the front that's an additional 200 sq ft! So not as tiny as some, but still minimalistic for our family of 3! I'll post pics on here as we get everything set up 😍. Definitely makes you evaluate your belongings & I already feel more free shedding these unneeded items! 6y

SqueakyChu Sounds wonderful and lots of fun! (edited) 6y

Jules7 I‘m preparing for a move as well, but instead gaining 1000 sq feet. I thought as we aged we needed less space, but my 1500 sq ft home is not big enough now that we are grandparents, and looking to possibly care for an aging parent. It‘s not about the stuff, you‘re right. It‘s about who‘s at your table. 6y

arubabookwoman We are preparing to move to a much, much smaller place in a year. It‘s also entirely on the other side of the continent, so we can‘t move very much stuff anyway.☹️ I have #PackingMyLibrary by #AlbertoManguel out of the library now, but haven‘t gotten to it yet. 6y

Laura317 @TheBookKeepers I can‘t wait to see it! 6y

TheBookKeepers @Jules7 exactly!! Ha I totally understand needing room for those grand babies to run around! Wishing you blessings on you move too!! I'm all for large homes as long as they're filled with people & laughter 😍 6y

TheBookKeepers @arubabookwoman Wishing you luck on ur next journey! Moving far distances are definitely stressful. My biggest relocation has been 750 miles, I can't imagine the opposing side of a continent! Tho it will be stressful, remember that it will all be worth the journey! ❤️❤️❤️ 6y

RaimeyGallant Too many to list, and none that I can remember verbatim. Litsy might eventually have filters on the feed so you can just scan through quotes, but for now, you might have success scanning for the quote posts. Also, there have been month long hashtag games in the past that focus on quotes, so you might try to find those hashtags. 6y

Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America | Michael Eric Dyson

“Real American history is the sticky web in which black and white are stuck together.”

But read the whole passage above that, starting with “Liberal professor ...”

#quotesoflitsy #racialjustice #michaelericdyson #politics #blacklivesmatter

Susannah I love this idea of white people having to reckon with black people because we are all stuck together. It's hardly ideal, but whatever it takes for that reckoning to happen.... Hatred is so exhausting. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Susannah If this part draws you, I think the rest of the book will as well. We are in their world and vice versa, to the extent that even saying we and they is incorrect. 6y

Susannah Thank you so much for letting me know. I think I might have this ebook, but I need to check. I'm definitely bumping this book to the top of my TBR. 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Susannah I struggled at bit at the beginning, but then it clicked and started to really hit me in the gut like I expected. Looking forward to hearing what you think when you get to it! 6y

TieDyeDude Amazing book! So important, so much to digest 6y
