ARE YOU DISTRACTED ENOUGH YET?
Today‘s #ranttime is about how this man has to have his fingers in every. Single. Pie. Just because he thinks he can. And to distract us.
I don‘t care what the Washington football team is called. If he wants to change the name again, how about the Epsteins? Or the Orangeskins?
This regime doesn‘t exactly have a great record when it comes to Native Americans or respecting the city of Washington either. News links⬇️
pickThis was good, especially on #audio since the NPR journalist narrates it himself. I liked the juxtaposition of Jackson‘s history alongside the story of Cherokee leader John Ross‘ as well but just so infuriating. Jackson remains the worst president ever in my opinion. #Roll100 #BookspinBingo @PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks
I cannot put this book down. It is very well written and almost chilling.
I couldn‘t remember if memes/joke posts counted for points for #Scarathlon2022 other than for participation like they do for #WinterGames but I came across this and thought it was fun 👻 Here‘s mine:
When I‘m a ghost I will have to call the lord and I don‘t think they will be able to do anything for me but I‘m sure they will be fine with it 💀

pickAnother add to my class. Set in North Carolina during the Trail of Tears. It describes how the Real People were placed in pens like animals. I would suggest this to anyone who wants to encourage and develop empathy. #MiddleGradeMay @megnews
pickThis was really good. But not overly earth shattering. Maybe it was the audio. Maybe I'm in a mood. I got it off Roxane Gay's book club list.

pickI‘m struggling between a pick and a so-so here because I was so close to liking this so much more than I did. I just couldn‘t find the center. We didn‘t know enough about 15 year deceased Ray-Ray for him to be the MC, and it flipped between surviving family members too quickly. My wish was that all the characters would have been supporting to Maria‘s (the mom) story- including the Cherokee dreams and stories.
so-soMy #BookSpin pick for December had so much potential to be an amazing read but Hobson kept changing the POV and I felt like I never got a true sense of any of the characters. This family drama about grief and addiction had a lot that I appreciated, and also some beautiful writing. However, I kept having to force myself to pick it up and read because I couldn't seem to become fully invested.

First Coulter's comment that stated “we didn't kill enough Indians“ now Little t is threatening the NFL Commanders to return to the name Redskins...🤨🤬.
For those who don't know, words like, “redskin,“ “squaw,“ & “red apple“ are similar to Native Americans as the N word or Oreo cookie for African Americans.
