“I can’t see how the Americans can call this a land of freedom where so much slavery is.”

Keep talking about Sudan.

If you haven’t read “Woman at Point Zero” by Nawal El Saadawi I highly encourage you to! I’m ready to call her a favorite author after just one book… #booksky #bipocbooksky

Officially 60% through Crime and Punishment… hold your applause please 🤭🥳😈 #booksky

When the multi pov book circles back to the character that gets under your skin like no other…. #booksky 📚💙

If none of my fan fics updated today I might sob myself to sleep…….

Started “The Wall” by Marlen Haushofer, and I’ve been enjoying my time. There are some similar themes between it and “I Who Have Never Known Men,” but I like the exploration of someone who reached adulthood in the real world before being forced into surreal state #booksky

All of my favorite fic authors on AO3 must be going through it this week because no one is updating 😭😭😭 sad times

Love how the FBI can work to take down a sports betting gambling ring that’s been operating for several years but can’t coordinate a takedown of those on the Epstein list 🧐🧐 I’m not surprised but still…

Another OKC overtime 😭😭 I’m trying to watch the Golden State game… somebody better get it together and QUICK

The Pacers just love to compete, and I love it! You can never truly count them out no matter who is on the floor

I read daily, because everyday I wake up in this hellscape I feel my brain cells wanting to crumble in the face of the constant ignorance and inhumanity

Trump’s ice goons pull guns on an unarmed guy on a bike in Rogers Park. Terrorizing neighborhoods

Game 4 of finals and you double T the head coach at the end of the 3rd?????? Gtfo

Refs really ruin basketball bruh….

#freepalestine from the river to the sea

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

✨Reading Update✨ Last month was one of my favorites of the year 🙌🏾 I’ve been working on Crime and Punishment for a minute now. It’s my first full length Russian Lit, so I’ve been pacing myself through. Within the first chapter of Assata I could tell it was going to be an all time fave #booksky 📚💙

Becky Hammon ain’t never been scared to get a tech, and I love her for that!

If citizens around the world arent convinced that our governments collectively don’t give two shits about us over their money and power I don’t know what will…

I cannot find my copy of Monstrilio, and it doesn’t make sense because I’ve had my literal eyes on it for MONTHS… then suddenly when I’m ready to pick it up it has vanished #booksky

Resisting the urge to start another book 😭 I’m finally down to a reasonable number, but there are just too many books I want to get to #booksky

✨September Reading Wrap✨ A month of learning, frustration, and new all time favorites 🙌🏾 wouldn’t have it any other way #booksky #bipocbooks

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

79. American citizen.

“It is racist America that provides the context for the making of this Black revolutionary.”

ya sex is nice but have you ever made a particularly pertinent comment during book club and everyone starts snapping in approval

After grinding my way through “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa,” I have finally finished 🥹🥹 this book taught me so many valuable lessons The postscript from A.M. Babu was perfection and quickly sent me on a rabbit hole that ended (so far) with a public CIA file 🤔 #booksky📚💙 #nonfiction

men are arguing wnba goats. we did it, joe! #wnba

🤯 Kelsey Mitchell… I was waiting for the heat check!!!! 🔥

Highly recommend everyone read the essay, “An End to the Neglect of the Problems of the Negro Woman” by Claudia Jones! It combines, history, feminism, and communism in a way that shows how the best path towards collective freedom is ensuring the freedom of Black women #booksky #blackbooksky 📚💙

One of my favorite compliments is when someone says I have impeccable taste in books 🤭🥹🖤 Don’t tell me you love me, tell me you love the books I read 😭 #booksky #blackbooksky

Within the last 10% of “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa,” and this will be the most accomplished I have ever felt after completing a book 😭 It’s highly informative but can be dense as well as frustrating, seeing how so much of the world has been shaped in favor of greed #booksky📚💙 #nonfiction

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Finding a fanfic that has you forgetting about all your current reads and tbr 🤭🤭 #booksky #ao3

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Uh oh… here come the Mercury 🤭🤭 I enjoy watching both teams, so I’m just here for some good basketball lol

Cooking Brown Stew Chicken for the first time, starting a new book, and the WNBA playoffs are on…. Not a bad night if I do say so myself

Last, Now, Next: Fiction 😇 Last- “Against the Loveless World” by Susan Abulhawa… new all time fave 🥹🖤 Now- “While Justice Sleeps” by Stacey Abrams … has me stressed right now but enjoying it so far 😭 Next- “Minor Detail” by Adania Shibli ⏭️ #booksky #books #bookrecs #palestinianbooks

Last, Now, Next: Nonfiction 🤓 Last- “What does Israel Fear from Palestine” by Raja Shehadeh… 5/5 & required reading! 🇵🇸 Now- “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa” by Walter Rodney… also required reading and has taught me patience lol 🥹 Next- “Necropolitics” by Achille Mbembe ⏭️ #booksky #nonfiction

Highly recommend everyone read “What Does Israel Fear From Palestine?”. It’s 120 pages and gives a condensed explanation of Palestine-Israel up to 2024. “The very high human and material cost of the war in Gaza proves that what Israel fears from Palestine is Palestine's very existence.” #booksky

My reads always reflect what I care most about/ prioritize… it took some time for me to get to this point, but exploring my different interests through literature has been life changing 🙌🏾 #booksky

"This isn't the America I know" Black ppl:

I don’t want to talk about it 😞😓

Yall gotta box out Seattle….

SEATTLEEEEEEEEE

Used to think I wasn’t a people person… turns out I just didn’t really like the people I was surrounding myself with 😅 that frontal lobe is working overtime to develop

I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I am. I’ve been doing a lot of reading surrounding communism and theory this year, and it’s nice to find a read whose language isn’t so stifling lol
