for me it's all of them, the fact that I have them is hope

BookmarkTavern Austen‘s a great pick! Thanks for sharing! 2d

Follow.my.read I recently went through almost 2 years with my husband‘s diagnosis with ALS. It took him very quickly only 18 months… every single night I curled up in my bed with a romantacy book for an escape away from a horrible disease. Now I curl up with my fantasy books to feel hopeful for a future by myself I love the escape that reading gives me. 2d

AnishaInkspill @Follow.my.read I love that too about books, and it's v courageous that through books you found a way to keep hope and gave your husband peace and joy. I never really understood the magic of books until I discovered books for myself. 1d

This question came at a most opportune time as I read it today for the #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2026 led by @TheBookHippie. I'm going to go further than this book, though and state that I find eternal hope in many children's literature books. My ultimate would be THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN by E.B. White, but as I finished this one, I chose it. I'm going to have to read more children's literature this year to survive. 💚

BookmarkTavern True! So much hope is found in stories for children! Thanks for sharing! 3d

Butterfinger Totally agree. I love children's literature. 3d

This book about a priest working with disadvantaged youth was well written (IIRC the author has a Master‘s degree in English) and hopeful. #sundayfunday

The Way Forward | Yung Pueblo

“Wisdom is not loud
nor does it whisper
it is a resonance
that realigns you with a better direction
it is a knowing that arises with undeniable clarity
an expansion that makes the mind lighter”

Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis | Kelly Hayes

This is a fantastic read in the face of violent authoritarianism that we are dealing with right now.

These activists are dealing with a variety of traumas and difficulties, but all continue to act, knowing they can make even the smallest of difference.

Stay safe and stay strong everybody.
