“Imagination doesnt erase nightmares but it can repurpose them with an elaborate sensemaking or troublemaking. And if imagination leads to troublemaking, is it any wonder that those in power work tirelessly to squash radical imagination that dares to envision a world where all can thrive?” #booksky

Current read: “From political economist @robertreich, a lucid, impassioned argument that America's working class has been systematically betrayed—not by one party alone, but by a bipartisan baby-boom America that made progress in certain areas, but fell short in so many important ways.” 💙📚 #booksky

“Death is fast, doom is slow.” Johanna Hedva detonates a bomb in our collective understanding of care & illness.

Have a cozy #caturday night ❤️ Love from Earlee and Newbie

Rereading my tattered paperback of Godbless you, Mr. Rosewater because, after all, when it comes to writers like #vonnegut, they’re “the only ones with guts enough to really care about the future, to really notice what machines do to us, what war does to us… what catastrophes do to us.” #booksky

Still figuring out Bluesky, but let’s put a little #octaviabutler into the world today. #booksky
