My kids’ schedules are demanding as helllllll, but my work continues. Our era demands it of us. History waits for no one.

I'm an abolitionist but I also absolutely have a Book Jail:
The bottom corner of my bookshelf where I put the books that have annoyed me or are by authors who annoy me.
Stacked page out so I don't have to see the covers.

I hate socks, but I hate sweaty feet and stinky shoes more. So I spend all day going "oh gawd what's wrong with my feet? What is choking my ankles?"
Last night I was feeling so panicked and couldn't remember why & then I remembered I was still wearing socks.
We need a better solution.

Did you know that the publishing industry doesn't like big books? It's always been so weird to me, because when I love a book I want it to go on forever.

Great question! This year has definitely radicalized me further, but it's also brought me closer to the heart of the book as our systems become more oppressive. Now we need to fight for each other & care for each other more than ever.
But I would add that disruption is a vital part of revolution

I'm so curious if anything has changed for you around the approach for abolitionists in just a year since launch. It's so hard not gravitate toward revenge on oppressors rn. 🫠
Wonderful read, thank you!
