This book really hit hard, even more so with the current state of this nation. Assata's poems, her insight, her empathy, her experiences... I was so immersed & the book inspires me to do more for my community.

I wish this would be read in schools nationwide, but for now I'll recommend it to others

@judysquirrels.bsky.social I was able to read this through the Hoopla app on my tablet and finished it last night.

I am buying a physical copy as soon as possible. Just such a powerful book & can't thank you enough for the recommendation.

Together again 🫰

Angela Saini on The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule at Hay Festival Forum Dallas with Nishanshi Shukla.

Really liked this week's episode of SPY X FAMILY

I also had to get their book, Tsunami. Also grateful for their autographs!

One of my favorite panels was with Marina Azahua, Gabriela Jauregui and Sara Uribe. They discussed the creation of their anthology book, 'TSUNAMI' & covered many topics that define the rapidly growing feminist wave. Gender violence,
Power & Systematic Opression, Colonialism, Liberation & more.

I had to get their books and signatures!

Last day of the Hay Festival Forum. I never been to this event before but will absolutely keep attending any future ones in Dallas.

My leftist heart needed this haven to discuss on how we can approach systematic oppression, social injustice and more.

😭

Love this

Srsly. Signal-boost, like/comment. And a big part of that support?

If they made something you like, buy it.

Independent artists aren't Wal-Mart; you can't just come back next week and expect what you were looking at to still be available for sale.

Part 3

Part 2

I'll post a small part of Bocafloja's panel. Though due to Bluesky's video size limit, I have to cut it up in 3 parts:
Part 1

My favorite panel was with Paula Cuéllar conversing with Bocafloja.

I will admit that my knowledge of hip hop is poor but I was immersed on how this artist uses poetry, music & film to help bring solidarity & address racism, colonialism & social injustice.

I had to get a signed book from him.

Day 2 of the Hay Festival Forum was busy, I wish I could attend them all.

One panel of note was with moderator, Paola Nagovitch conversing with Dominican American author, Junot Díaz. It was an interesting insight into the author's mind as he talked about diaspora, the political landscape & more

Great turnout in Arlington TX for #NoKings today. I wore my new octopus suit. Lots of good signs!
