Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-First Century | Alice Wong

My joy is my freedom-it allows me to live my life as I see fit. I won‘t leave this earth without the world knowing that I chose to live a life that made me happy, made me think, made me whole. I wont leave this earth without the world knowing that I chose to live.

Singout I really found this #SheSaid book to be interesting, and presenting an excellent breadth of perspectives and varieties of disability a few years ago. 18h

Chelseabillups30 Is #SheSaid a Litsy challenge or something? Was the book I‘m reading part of it? 18h

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookwormjillk You‘re welcome. And I understand… I have been off all year so far. Not reading on time. I blamed moving in the beginning of the year keeping me busy doing other things and throwing me off my reading pattern. Now I‘m think it‘s too much Doomscrolling 🫠 But whatever it is, I‘m off too and I hope it ends soon. So I thank you all for putting up with an organizer that is later reading our sections about 50% of the time lately. 1d

MallenNC It‘s hard to believe it is time to pick more books already. I will give some thought to what I‘ve been interested in lately. 1d

ncsufoxes Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates is really good. Saving Five by Amanda Nguyen.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Anyone else feel a little depressed in some sections…about how much some of these people went through, did for their communities, got no recognition, and here in the US it feels like we are determined to repeat it all again….like we have learned nothing. 🫠 3d

vlwelser We're not great at learning from mistakes here in the US. Or the wrong people have all of the power. Could be both. 3d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser People put the wrong people in power, so same thing. I‘m still very disappointed that people saw the “child separation” policy, and said this time they will only get rid of criminals, let‘s put those exact same people back in power again and give them more money & people. 2d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa …and then shocked, just horrified at what happens. Like it was not obvious what they would do. 2d

vlwelser It was dreadful the last time but it's like they forgot. It's all propaganda. They hear what they want. And think they can't possibly be talking about them. 2d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @vlwelser yes. 1d

Riveted_Reader_Melissa So sad and was so easily avoidable 1d

Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools That Built the Civil Rights Movement | Elaine Weiss

pick

One of those books that is highly relevant to today & the continued fight for voting rights. The book tells the story of several key people that fought against racism & white supremacy to bring voting rights to Black citizens of SC. Their model was used throughout the south to enshrine voting rights that many were denied for too long. As we see with gerrymandering today, people who are in power are fearful when people can use their vote.

ncsufoxes The courts have recently struck down laws in Alabama, Mississippi, & Louisiana stating that they all have violated the Voting Rights Act (in particular limiting the vote of Black citizens). It is sad that people to this day still have to fight for their right to vote. This quote still rings true to this day, “Their real fear was that if Black people continued to register, they would soon outnumber white voters & would be able to decide elections.” 1w

ncsufoxes Septima Clark was an amazing woman that everyone should know who she is & what she accomplished. #realhistory #antifabookclub 1w

kspenmoll She is written about in this month‘s #shesaid buddy read. I had never heard of her.

kspenmoll I have really enjoyed the chapters on Hawaii, the horrific decision to intern Japanese citizens, the fight for reparations, & the lifelong relationship between Alan Simpson & Norman Mineta. 1w

MallenNC @kspenmoll I read this previously and the Hawaii chapters were my favorite 1w

vlwelser This section is far and away my favorite so far. Maybe because these guys are more modern. It would have been great if she found more like this esp a female. 1w

pick

I follow McMahon on Instagram and really enjoy her take on politics. As a fellow history teacher and fan, I expected to like this more. The history teacher in me loved the figures she highlighted, her reflections on events, and her not-so-subtle connections to today's world. However, the English teacher in me struggled with the inconsistent voice and disjointed organization. It's a pick, but not a love. #SheSaid @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
