Welcome to Litsy!

I had a few busy and filled days (including a very long shabbat with a group of people and a headache that made me go away earlier than the others) so I couldn't finish the 4th book by the end of Shabbat. I managed to finish it today - and I really like the commentary. He brings the voices of our sages to our contemporary world in an understandable and very Jewish way, making us understand that tikkun olam must be every day with our daily actions

4.5⭐️ I really liked this book and it was an excellent read. #2025 #socialjustice #nonfiction #memoir

It is customary to read Pirkei Avot during the Shabbatot between Pesach and Shavuot.
This week we're reading chapter 2, and I'm finding the commentary in this version extremely interesting.

#DynamicDs Day 26: This may be a perfect example of #Divisive 😅 Review is forthcoming.

I guess this is more of a response to #danger. But it's on my mind a lot during these dangerous times.

Please excuse me getting on my soapbox for a minute, but I saw that the #DynamicDs prompt for today is #DifferentlyAbled

Can we just not with the “differently abled” language? I‘m disabled. So is my sister, my cousin, and some of my friends. I‘ve been a part of disability groups politically/professionally. We either use “disabled” or “person w/ a disability.”

Tagged is good if you want to learn. Pic of sister‘s invisibly disabled cat for tax.

“Which is why we must actively antiracist” (last line that got cut off). Ibram X. Kendi posted this the other day & it definitely needs to be repeating. What they are pushing so hard against is why we need to push back harder.

I attended an author event, this past week, with Rebecca Thorne for the third book in her Tomes and Tea series, and a book was part of the ticket price. So technically that.

But before that, after *makes sweeping gesture at November* I bought the tagged book, along with Prequel by Rachel Maddow and Democracy Awakening by Heather Cox Richardson.

#SundayFunday Have a wonderful day, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

A phenomenal non-fiction book and movie recommendation for #blackhistorymonth.

My masters is in forensic psychology so this story is powerful to me. Heartbreaking, motivating, educational and important too. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for each.

And Michael B. Jordan is my #1 celebrity crush... let's be honest here. He's beautiful to look at. Watch it. Read it.
