I feel so spoiled, @quietjenn! I am so excited about this book. I've always been intrigued by Kathleen Hanna. I already read the Prologue, and cannot wait to begin devouring both the book and the chocolate tonight! So many thanks! Merry Jólabókaflóð! 💚❤️💚

Thank you and Happy Christmas to @MaleficentBookDragon as well! Thanks for organizing such a joyful swap. 💚❤️💚

Last month, I conquered a #deathtower in this very spot. I don't know what happened. 🤣
I actually blame my mother. When I was little, she had to run some errands. She bribed my sister and I and told us if we didn't fight, we could have a treat at the end of the trip. We were very good, and then we stopped at the bookstore. I couldn't decide, so my mom let us each get 3 books. When we got in the car, she thanked us for behaving, ⬇️

lil1inblue and asked what we wanted for a treat. I said "but we just got 3 books!" My mom firmly responded "Books aren't treats. They're necessities." So I now feel zero guilt buying books. ? 5d

lil1inblue @thebookhippie @Bookwormjillk Our local USPS distribution hub closed this year. Now instead of going 90 miles away to be postmarked, it goes 280 miles to Milwaukee. (I'll refrain from my rant, but 🤬 ) It's not going well. So I went a different route since timing was important. Apparently a lot of other people did, too, so that backfired. 😬 5d

These poems and essays are intended to give young adults an introduction to several queer figures from the Harlem Renaissance, and to encourage them to learn more about them. Some of the people I was aware of, others were new to me. The book definitely got me excited to read more about them.

I read this for #withthebanned since I read All Boys Aren't Blue for Pride month last year.

I just read George M. Johnson's Flamboyants, which is an introduction to several icons from the Harlem Renaissance. So of course I had to read some of their poetry.

IriDas Who did they blame for it? Because they never can take responsibility. 2mo
lil1inblue @IriDas Honestly, I wasn't really absorbing it, and only caught bits and pieces. Something about the radical left and socialists. 🙃 2mo
lil1inblue @Ruthiella I'm just glad it isn't an every day occurrence. 🫠 2mo

Today I learned about the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, which was created in the 1950s to fight desegregation and maintain White supremacy. I now know that their tactics helped to inspire the FBI to create COINTELPRO. #todayilearned #nfn #nonfictionnovember

I made the mistake of looking at "milestone year" albums, particularly those that came out when I was 15. This song...well, it explains a lot. ??

"What came first – the music or the misery? Did I listen to the music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to the music?" Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

CBee WOMAN!! I was 18 when this came out. Speaking to my teenage angst-y heart 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2mo
lil1inblue @CBee 🤩 I feel as though the music of our youth uniquely prepared us for this era of chaos. 🙃 2mo
TieDyeDude High Fidelity is so melodramatic! I love it 😄 It's a great question, though. I always felt that way when listening to Dashboard Confessional 2mo
Suet624 You‘re singing my song. 1mo

This part spoke to me:
"Did I love it enough, the full-throttle foliage,
While it lasted?"

I don't have to wait for my future self. My present self is proud of me for overcoming my introvertedness and social anxiety to work with folks on community action and mutual aid in my community.
