Apparently there are numbers of readers who do not understand the messaging in Fantasy. I am guessing if they did we would see more book bans…. cause a woman who thinks is dangerous.

First published in 2017 but just as relevant now, this concise & thought provoking book clocks in less than 2 hours on audio. But the lessons contained within are expansive & will stay with the reader. Highly recommended.

TheBookHippie Agree. A must read. Oy. 3w
vivastory @TheBookHippie Absolutely 💯 3w

BarbaraBB I postponed it in 2017 but I guess there‘s no better time to read it than right now. Stacking. 3w
vivastory @BarbaraBB It's a quick read. I really liked the audio, read by Snyder. Some of it seems like preaching to the choir but other points were interesting enough to make me want to rec it. An important work IMO 3w
Leftcoastzen On permanent shelves, I read it again quite recently! 3w
Suet624 Bought it in 2016. I often wonder how Snyder feels considering that he‘s been talking about this for years. This recent election must‘ve just done him in. 3w
vivastory @Suet624 I had the same thought. I saw that there was an expanded edition after the invasion of Ukraine. 3w
Suet624 Oh! I‘ll have to take a peek at the library and see if they have it. 3w

Welp fam, this is gonna be a long haul (not the book; it‘s almost a pamphlet.) What do you do when you‘re scared? Read a book. Drink your water. Get some sleep.

Ruthiella Yup. I need to read this too. Courage! (edited) 2mo
MissHel @Ruthiella thank you! ❤️ 2mo
Leftcoastzen Essential read . 2mo

My book haul for today.

Pogue @Leftcoastzen I borrowed the graphic novel from the library and knew I needed a copy. 2mo
DogMomIrene Dungeon Crawler Carl is such a fantastic escape! I loved the audio performance. 2mo

My November pick for #12Booksof2024 succinctly and elegantly describes the situation we're in, and offers real strategies for facing it with integrity. For me it has provoked much thought, many conversations, and practical preparations. I don't want this to be the best book I read in 2024, but right now it feels like it may be

@Andrew65

Andrew65 Such tough times we are in, and ahead, unfortunately. 3mo

(2017) Here's a compact handbook to living with integrity in a collapsing/collapsed democracy. I have a dreadful feeling Snyder's advice will have multiple practical applications very soon. Thank goodness it exists.

Small acts of resistance: community, love, joy. Read the books they want to ban, speak to the people they want to silence, view what they want to stay hidden. Always question. Know your worth. Support those in need where you can.

I still struggle with words for what is happening. To those struggling with me: I see you.

kspenmoll I see you. Thanks for your post-love the sticker.💕 4mo
BookmarkTavern Well said! And a perfect sticker! 4mo

My heart feels a lot right now. I imagine his is broken. I know B. did the right thing, but I am so afraid. I don't think my heart can hold everything that will come if this wicked man gets back in the office again. I will do everything I can to get peoplx to vote. I will vote. I will continue to try and help others like I always have. I will try to hold on to some hope…we are at a critical point right now. This is not the time to sit it⬇️

JenniferEgnor out. We can choose to work to create a more loving, just, and democratic future, or we can choose a fascist, totalitarian nightmare. Choose wisely. This is not a game, this is not hyperbolic. Pay attention. This is it, folx. If we go over this cliff, there is no coming back from it. Choose wisely. Remember this—in the end, fascism comes for everyone…even the fascists. Choose wisely. 8mo
Leftcoastzen Love this post , ready to reread this book 8mo
dabbe Agree 💯! Dare I say #harrisandbuttigieg!!! We're getting involved in the swing state of Arizona, too! 💙💙💙 8mo

Cuilin @dabbe I would love Buttigieg too though I think they‘ll pick a governor from a swing state though I heard Mark Kelly is also on the list!!! 💙💙💙 8mo
Cuilin I spent a lot of time on TikTok yesterday, checking out the vibes. I feel really hopeful most that younger generation seem to be ready to vote for Harris. 8mo
dabbe @Cuilin We love M. Kelly and all he's done for our state. We lost our governor (Napolitano) to Obama's administration, and our state has just now just recovered. I would hate to lose a Senate seat because who knows what our purple state would do if he left. 8mo
Cuilin @dabbe I believe your governor is a Democrat and gets to pick a replacement for Kelly if needed? 🤞 8mo
dabbe @Cuilin Yes, but then comes an election, and that's when things can get crazy in this state. 🤪 8mo
Cuilin @dabbe got it. NH is a weird little purple surrounded by blue. 8mo
dabbe @Cuilin I have high hopes for both of our states! #gobigblue 8mo
