Welcome to Litsy!

#wdncw #mood #readingispolitical As a mom of an Autistic child his & our family‘s life have been made political. Not to mention, we believe in: science, vaccines, protecting the environment, freedom of speech, love is love…the list is endless.

Call me easily led: I am reading Zweig's autobiography b/c it featured heavily in an episode (S4E7) of the TV comedy series about EU institutions Parlement, with the subtext that it is transposable to today's world & political climate. Which is scary because Zweig lived through WWI and committed suicide in 1942.

This is a book about the women of the far right in the widest possible terms, from femonationalist, fascist, colonialist, etc. movements to conservative activism and TERFs. There is a lot of extraneous or “undigested“ info. I am hoping the last 100 pages are more directly relevant, but I won't be holding my breath.
Interviews with the author are more interesting than her book 😐

News of the possible lynching in Mississippi has sent me over the edge today.

An earlier edition of this book sat on my parents' bookshelf for most of my life. I'm finally diving in. 😅

I am deeply alarmed by the state of the U.S. Many of you are, too. So, let‘s learn about fascism — a book club, perhaps. But, if nothing else, book suggestions. Let‘s start with WHAT WE KNEW: TERROR, MASS MURDER, AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN NAZI GERMANY.

Yes. This. It‘s exactly like this. 🛩️🔥🎯

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.
