rpsingletary LOGLINE: Man faces loss, travels, heals. Metaphor of Istanbul: shape-shifting city:: we all have many names, but meaning? We must add ourselves.

A sexually ambiguous man falls to pieces after a child-death and his marriage's demise. He turns to nearly every drug imaginable (religion, travel, sex, talk-therapy, family, folklore...) before reconnecting with a past love thought foregone; meanwhile, he comes into the inheritance of an ancestral...

Expect Resistance: A Crimethink Field Manual | CrimethInc.

We do not care if it offends or upsets you because it‘s a political post and not “book-related,” because we‘re going to say it anyway: If you support a man who thinks teaching people that owning human beings is “woke,” you might be —nay, you ARE —a fascist Nazi.

Go ahead. The unfollow button is right up there. ⬆️ Don‘t let the door hit you on the way out.

LeeRHarry I really am struggling to find words to make a comment but just that ….nope ….none. Just an emoji 🤬 3mo

Amiable @LeeRHarry I have some words with 4-letters, too. And also —his name must be on every single page of the Epstein files based on all of the distractions he‘s trying to throw out. 3mo

Jari-chan I'm getting more and more proud of being Woke 🙃 3mo

Amiable @Jari-chan I have a t-shirt that says, “WOKE: It‘s not the insult you think it is.” ✊🏼💙 3mo

mcctrish I was watching some shit tv review on Jillian Michaels weighing in on support of this - how is a gay woman a MAHA/MAGA cult member? Just no! 3mo

ElizaMarie I don't know how/why people don't seem to understand that reading IS political. 3mo

JenReadsAlot I'm so beyond disgusted..... 3mo

Amiable @JenReadsAlot At this point I‘m more disgusted by his supporters. He‘s never hidden what he is. This could have ended at any point if Republicans had any moral courage, integrity, ethics or backbone. But those concepts are apparently too “woke” for them as well. 3mo

TheBookHippie He is who he is. His supporters and enablers are the scourge of evil. 3mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish she is beyond complicit. 3mo

TheBookHippie @ElizaMarie people don‘t like to be called out. 3mo

JenReadsAlot I feel that too. Cannot deal with anyone who supports him either 3mo

TheBookHippie Don‘t let the screen door hit ya on your way out! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 3mo

Aims42 My mom had a Trumper come up to her and start talking to her and she was so disgusted and also shocked by how many blatant conspiracy theories he was telling her 🤢🤮 Does anyone have a good response for these situations? I mean besides smacking them upside their head and asking what‘s wrong with them? 3mo

TheBookHippie @Aims42 I tell them I‘ll pray for them. Probs not appropriate 😂😬🤣 I would like a better response…my daughter says bless your heart. Honestly it‘s so off the wall does it even matter what we say? 3mo

Jari-chan @Amiable Oh, I love that! I would cheer on every person I'd see wearing that. 3mo

Suet624 Thank you!! 3mo

Aims42 @TheBookHippie I would just love a quick, witty thing that would shut them up 😆 I‘ll remember you and your daughter‘s replies! 3mo

Susanita If you‘re not woke, you‘re asleep. 3mo

lil1inblue @Susanita 🙌 🎯🙌 🎯🙌 3mo

lil1inblue And this is precisely why reading IS political. That's how we keep the truth alive - by reading our real history. 🙌 🙌 🙌 3mo

ravenlee @mcctrish she‘s always been a pretty garbage human; now it‘s just louder. 3mo

Deblovestoread 💯. We knew exactly who he was from day one. It is out there for all to see. Those that support him and those that are quiet even when they know it‘s wrong are allowing it to happen. Shame on all of them. And because of their silence we will be louder! 3mo

Chrissyreadit 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 3mo

willaful From what I've read, bless your heart is a classic Southern burn! 3mo

KadaGul I feel like he will go after anything that is above his IQ. #ANOTHERDUMBIDEABYMANGO 3mo

CarolynM The stupidity is breathtaking, the cruelty heartbreaking. 3mo

dabbe One of the most P✊🏻WERFULheartfelt posts I have ever read. Thank you for your forthrightness and integrity. You hit all the “woke“ nails on the head. And you're so right: it's the people who STILL support him after remarks like this that I just cannot understand or support. How they can even physically wake“ up every morning, look at themselves in the mirror, and STILL believe in this fascist ass is completely beyond my comprehension. 💙✊🏻💙 3mo

Leftcoastzen Great post ! I hate this insanity. A disgrace! 3mo

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Yes!!! 3mo
