Amiable
The Jungle | Upton Sinclair
post image

Since this relates directly to a book I‘m going to assume it will be palatable to the “only talk about books on Litsy!” people. Let‘s discuss.

Jari-chan Once the US was a country of progess and innovation, now it seems to go back down pretty fast 😔 2d
Amiable @Jari-chan I don‘t even recognize this country anymore. I‘m so ashamed of it. 😖 2d
AmyG And cutting $500 million for mRNA vaccine contracts….when so close to a cancer and AIDS vaccine. Are they intentionally trying to kill people? 2d

Tamra Make America Stupid Again. 🙄 Good old days weren‘t that good. (edited) 2d
JenReadsAlot Its so terrifying I dont even know what else to say anymore. People that support this administration should be ashamed of themselves.... 2d
Amiable @AmyG It honestly does seem like it, doesn‘t it ? 2d
Amiable @Tamra Ah, but the “old days” are when women and minorities knew their places. 🙄😖 That‘s really what all of this is about. 2d
Amiable @JenReadsAlot 🎯 Absolutely!! 💯 2d
Chrissyreadit I read this in High School- along with The Robber Barrons and both were instrumental for my understanding of Progressive policies (directly conflicting with the trickle down theory) Great book to post! 2d
Chrissyreadit @Amiable I think it‘s impossible to find accurate science and sociology based books that would support anything this evil empire is doing. 2d
Cuilin Never heard of this book!! Thanks for sharing. 😉 2d
lil1inblue Your caption made my day. Thank you. 😅 😉💖 💖 💖 2d
Amiable @lil1inblue Any time! 💙🩵😀 2d
marleed I read The Jungle in high school and all these years later I‘m still haunted by it. God forbid, in 2025, we might stop the meat grinder because a human finger gets caught in it. I mean why bother - money is money and no inspection is no inspection. 2d
AnnCrystal 😘 Thank you for sharing this! This is horrifying and insanity! ✊🏼🫒🤬. 2d
CoverToCoverGirl “In the good old days” (1972) my mother had to have her husband‘s (my Dad) permission to have access to a tubal ligation. It was the law of the land. He of course agreed to it. Today I fear a majority of men wouldn‘t and would like the ability to wield such powers legally and with a clear conscience. Very disturbing and dystopian like times we are now living in. @Amiable @Tamra 2d
Christine @lil1inblue You took the words right out of my mouth! Twice! And true, @Chrissyreadit . 2d
Deblovestoread How do people think we got increased longevity!?! Vaccines, food safety, medical research and medicine and it is all being dismantled. It is mind blowing how hoodwinked some people are. All so cheater in chief can destroy the White House and everything else he touches. 2d
lil1inblue @Deblovestoread And it's all by design. They don't want us to thrive. 24h

Race et Révolution française | Jennifer L. Palmer, Karine Rance, Éric Saunier, Ian Coller, Guillaume Aubert, Cécile Vidal, Manuel Covo

I learned in the tagged book that First Nations people were enslaved before & alongside African & Malagasy people in Canada in the 17th & 18th centuries. I shouldn't have been surprised - after all, I already knew colons had done it in Central & South America - but because my mental picture of Canada re slavery is the 19th c. Underground Railroad, it passed me by. Another rabbit hole to explore...

I thought I'd finished my deep dive into the French Revolution for the foreseeable 😔future, but then my library got Race et Révolution française (Race and the French Revolution) which ticks so many boxes for me I had to borrow it 😍
Incidentally, I am pretty sure I saw those Equality between the races playing cards at an exhibition and took photos, but I absolutely cannot find them again

Naturally, Snyder‘s 20 rules on tyranny are pertinent & should be read & absorbed by everyone. But I am so grateful I was able to listen to this expanded edition. Snyder goes deep into the Ukraine/Russian War and how central Ukraine has been to history.

I learned so much & I cannot recommend this version enough.

Chrissyreadit adding to my audio tbr Thanks for sharing! #readingispolitical #antifabookclub 3w
BC_Dittemore @Chrissyreadit you won‘t be disappointed. 3w

Parable of the Sower | Octavia E. Butler
post image

The library goddesses have it in for me. Just as I started reading Animal Farm & 1984 for #withthebanned, my hold for Parable of the Sower came in after 4-ish months. I've finished all 3 last week, but I haven't had the mental capacity to post a review. After several days, this is still all I can come up with:
🤯🤯🤯🫢🫢🫢😬😬😬

I recommend all three, but not at the same time. 🫠

lil1inblue @sarahbarnes Hooray! I have to say: Though I am an impatient person, it makes me glad that the book is being read by so many right now! 3w

I am audio booking while rage gardening…. grateful to be in the healthiest space i‘ve been in for 10 years- and terrified about the loss of my medication when i can‘t afford the affordable care act medication. This is not the most evil regime in history but this time period will tell us who the true hero‘s are. #overcomingevilempires #antifabookclub #readingispolitical
