This is such an important read for everyone in this day and age. This book seriously needs to start discussions amongst all of us. It‘s amazing to look at the ways we even hold ourselves to these impossible standards, even when they do nothing but hurt us physically and mentally.

GingerAntics This has a brilliant discussion of the trauma created by social media and the 24 hour news cycle. Social media has become where we police each other in the Protestant/puritan/Christian, capitalist, political lie that does nothing but hurt us and empower those in power. 1mo
GingerAntics I‘ve been seeing the rise in popularity of this book that suggests we should start more things than we intend to finish, and after read this book, I can‘t even look at the cover of that book without seeing the HUGE red flag that book is as another message to continue the laziness lie as opposed to starting to live free of it. 1mo

Unpopular opinion, maybe, but I couldn't get past the authors' smug tone about everybody's ignorance while refusing to cite their own sources. I get that the glib presentation is part of the joke, but they're asking me to accept their authority on everything from aardvarks to zyzygy and that's just a no. Fortunately I figured out early that it wasn't for me.

My cover is prettier. A solid 4 stars if you are a history nerd. Very information dense but interesting in how historical manuscripts were saved from from various purges and destruction so knowledge can move forward. Also my #bookspin for February! Yay

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2y
