So, I'm seriously rethinking the two Simmons books on my TBR, the last two books in the Hyperion series, after reading his tweet completely bashing a 16 yr old girl. The thought of a 72 year old "man" cyber bullying a child just boils my blood. #Magathugs #Magabullies #jerk

Greta is a role model.

I early voted and will be glued to the tv/phone/computer tonight. So nerve-wracking. I canvassed last night to try and ensure people vote against a ballot measure here that would amend our state constitution to say there is no right to an abortion with no exceptions. The tagged book is my Election Day reading. #makeyourvotecount #resist #persist #fallintoreading

Cathythoughts I never watch telly ... but I‘m glued for the night ... 5y
Sace And I'm such a ball of anxiety and I can't face the news. I voted but I'm going to do escapist TV and reading tonight. 5y
Blaire @RestlessFickleBookHoarder your way would be better for my self-care but I‘m like @Cathythoughts I watch it all and am a total political junkie for the nitty gritty precinct level analysis. 🤞 for good results. 5y

Lcsmcat Same here! We‘ve got 6, count ‘em, SIX constitutional amendments on our ballot that are total power grabs. 😡 5y
Leftcoastzen It was busy in my state Az, but did you hear 3 hour lines in Atlanta?😡 (edited) 5y
vkois88 Appropriate book, for sure. This whole thing has me feeling like throwing up. Definite stress eating happening here 5y
Blaire @Lcsmcat ugh! So infuriating. The anti-choice amendment won here 52-48. Last night was a mixed bag for me. A good win for mayor in my city - so that was a highlight. 5y
Blaire @Leftcoastzen infuriating. Kemp is a master at voter suppression. 5y
Blaire @vkois88 yes, I went full on into my kids‘ Halloween candy stash. 🤣🤣🤣 5y
Lcsmcat @Blaire As you say, Ugh! 2 of the 3 most egregious amendments failed but the voter ID (which the courts have thrown out twice) passed. But we broke the supermajority in the state legislature so, some wins, some losses. 5y
Sace @Blaire antichoice and 10 commandments on display both won here. *sob* 5y

Everyone needs to read this book. In no uncertain terms, Warren lays out the reality of most hard working Americans and how we are all getting screwed by a rigged system. This is a history lesson, a crash course in economics, a primer on Congress, and an honest assessment of our broken system, all wrapped up in a call to action. We need to understand what we are fighting against.

Probably only read for maybe 30 minutes this weekend. (I honestly didn't even attempt this readathon. Between my baby girl having a traumatizing injury and my husband having to work all Saturday, there was no point. I'm too distracted to focus on reading.) Still, I'm plugging away in hopes that I will finish this book by the end of the month. #Resist #Persist #nastywoman #Americanpolitics #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

TrishB Hope your daughters ok. 6y
AmyG Yes, hope things are ok with your daughter. 6y
SleepyDragon @TrishB @AmyG Thank you so much. She fell and cut her forehead on the coffee table. She's mending, and we have an appt to have the two staples removed Wed. She's 2.5 yrs, and seems to be dealing/coping well. The whole episode has been emotionally draining for all, though. If I could, I'd wrap them all up in bubble wrap. 6y
TrishB Aww....it‘s hard being a parent! 💜 6y
