Welcome to Litsy!

In my mind, voter suppression is the number one issue of equality today. Its history is long and bloody. Now it may be less gory, but it‘s def no less oppressive. Anderson lays out everything up until about 2018. Then the daily news takes over. Necessary reading for every American. She makes it easy to wrap your brain around the unwrappable.

I read this short book back in early 2017. Lately (or every week since then), it‘s been coming to mind a lot. Found it on Scribd, so I‘m going to give it a listen. Might be the most important 1 hr. 47 min. book around!

I had four 5-star reads and lots of 4-star ones. So I picked a couple of 4s and bumped them to 5s. Here are my #top6reads for 2019 so far. My four nonfiction choices would qualify for my #resistlist, so I guess that‘s my theme. And the debut author, along with my current “favorite.”

Thanks for starting this post @Cinfhen —it‘s been fun to see people‘s choices. #top6

I‘ve avoided posting quotes from this book because they can be so distressing for people. It‘s a group of hard-to-read, but vital essays in understanding 45. I can only manage one, sometimes two, a day. Today‘s essay talks about tyrants, their followers, and the society around them. It helps me understand things, especially after the horrible events in Christchurch yesterday.

I‘ve been listening to a podcast interview with the author of this book. It‘s quite fascinating, and I‘ll be reading her book soon, I think. It‘s a different, but connected, take on systemic misogyny. She‘s brilliant! Podcast link below ⬇️

I bought this shortly after the 2016 elections. The title described my thoughts. Then I put the book on my shelf because I was feeling too raw. Recently I thought, “I‘d better read this before it‘s obsolete.” Well, the good news is, it isn‘t likely to ever be 100% obsolete. If you read politically, try this book. For me, every essay was worth the time.

This book‘s been on my shelf far too long. Even though it was compiled right after the 2016 election, the concerns still exist. Obvi. And I‘m proud to say I got through 90 pages without feeling sick to my stomach. But that‘s all for today ... back to Mary Oliver poems until I feel like I can continue with this book. #resistlist #readersresist #somedaysitsalltoomuchtoabsorb #notmypresident

I am so glad to be reading this at this exact moment in time. I have been canvassing and organizing for our local Democratic candidate for the House. First time I‘ve ever done this kind of work. And this memoir is reminding me of the bigger issues at the heart of the matter. The idea of the “steadfastness of truth” is striking a chord, for sure. (Part 1 of 2)

I‘m not very far into this book, but I‘ve been highlighting a LOT. The author pulls in many statistics that have left me gobsmacked.

The hubs always makes me breakfast on the weekend! Today it‘s bacon and potatoes with spicy ketchup. I‘m using the bookmark my friend @BarbaraTheBibliophage sent me this week as I think she would approve of my current read! 😜
Congrats to @Booksandcooks on her milestone. I just can‘t resist entering these generous giveaways.
