Nobody seems to remember the poem.

The moment that you think it's okay to sacrifice other groups is the moment that you begin your own destruction.

Now is the time to stand up, before nobody is left to help you.

Went to a placement office, got a 3 day a week weird temp job (by fibbing slightly) and that has been my always career.

Weekend reading:

The Bound Worlds by Megan O'Keefe - I have eaten this series. I love it so much. Can't wait for the last one.

Book of Life by Margret Atwood - because she is the boss

Also poking around Strength of the Few (not as psyched as I thought I would be) and The Raven Scholar

Now one of Susan Collins beltway errand-runners is pushing the spin that Collins felt "blindsided" by a provision that other outlets have reported COLLINS HERSELF INSERTED into the funding bill.

So much of the DC press is totally shameless. #MEpolitics

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

My reading is outwardly chaotic but inwardly soothing.

I finished Hazelthorn. Didn't start The Raven Scholar, but a few chapters of Strength of the Few made me want to read sci-fi which is why I am enthralled by this amazing book this rainy Sunday afternoon.

When your enemies are fighting your job is to add fuel to the fire not yell at the people saying that it's good that they are fighting. A lot of people on this app have never been in a fist fight and it shows daily.

Weekend reading.

Hazelthorn: I love CG Drews mucky nightmares, there is a sweetness to the horror. I am about half way through. It's not for everyone but I adore these books

Raven Scholar: my friend told me to read this. Going in blind.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Having been a teenaged girl and knowing other teenaged girls, I can only deduce that a grown ass man 'dating' a teenaged girl is one seriously fucked up person and should not be allowed in society.

Has Trump posted today or do they have him sedated?

Part of me hopes that it gives him another stroke.

A months ago I read Africa Is Not A Country and it is beautiful and uplifting. It gave me insight on many places that it is often early to gloss over

It made me want to learn more more about how the countries there have been screwed over. I read White Malice and it was so well done... 1/2

Bernie Sanders has said in the Senate after Susan Collins reportedly laughed about the new funding bill:

“If this bill passes, certain groups will see their premiums triple. When you remove healthcare from 15 million people, 50,000 Americans will die who didn’t have to. Do you think that’s funny?”
