Pickpick

This is probably the best nonfiction I've read this year. This speaks to my soul.

And since it's #tuesdaytunes, I'll also say I now have a whole new understanding of Nina Simone's Mississippi Goddam: https://youtu.be/teqWnF-HD1M?si=oyZLcasQnplxmX-2

lil1inblue @AmyG So true! The song just fits with the book so well - I figured it would be a good Tuesday tunes share. 🙂 3w
TieDyeDude Thanks for all these resources! It is crazy the work the Black Panthers put back into their communities, and how the gov't worked to stop it and suppress people's awareness of their good deeds. 3w

TheBookHippie @TieDyeDude you would really like this book. It‘s probably my number one for the year. 3w

As we all know it‘s Banned Book week. This is from some of the highlights from the linked article. One positive in all this mess is that for the 87 book challenges last year there were 70 pushbacks on those challenges. #readwiththebanned #readingispolitical #realhistory #honesthistory #readingisresistance

lil1inblue Florida, though... 😱😱😱😭 3mo
AnnCrystal Proud that my state is amongst the states with zero bans...sad because books are becoming more and more banned in America ✊🏼🤬📚💙. 3mo

Dilara
World of Yesterday | Stefan Zweig
post image

Call me easily led: I am reading Zweig's autobiography b/c it featured heavily in an episode (S4E7) of the TV comedy series about EU institutions Parlement, with the subtext that it is transposable to today's world & political climate. Which is scary because Zweig lived through WWI and committed suicide in 1942.

Dilara Pic is still from the episode and shows Carmen picking the book from her shelves. 3mo
Ruthiella The parallels are terrifying. 3mo
Dilara @Ruthiella Yes. In France, a historian of World War II called Johann Chapoutot has been very vocal about these parallels, writing books and speaking in (left-leaning) media for the last three years at least, now. But the other sides aren't listening. (edited) 3mo
