Just read Sula, by Toni Morrison. It unpacks the risks of being self defined & the risk of letting others define you. The innocence & internal struggles that all the characters in the book have, make the reader recall & review personal actions.

They have finally allowed me to get a little closer. The Blue Jays recently arrived about 2 years ago.
I feel like the Blue Jays are a bit more aggressive and not as shy.
I need to improve my accuracy.
Nonetheless, these two families are welcomed here.

This book is powerful. Clint Smith unearths some aspects of history that are very sad, surprising, & not debatable. NYC is rife with a legacy that I thought was mainly situated in the South. I have been to Central Bark, the Statue of Liberty, and walked past Hamilton Customs House.

Morrison's novel, A Mercy, is very fast, fearless, and factual.
Unpopular opinion: This novel is better than The Bluest Eye. - And The Bluest Eye is great! #ToniMorrison #historicalfiction

A flock of red cardinals live in the tree behind my house. They are very use to my family.
It is said that seeing a cardinal is often interpreted as a spiritual sign or message of love & hope from beyond, & that those that passed are still with you/ME.

There are so many levels to this novel by Kiley Reid! It was fun but honest regarding transactional relationships.

I walked by myself for myself. I am proud of this. I am ABSOLUTELY patting myself on the back. #unapologetic

Tangy Quinn, the main character, is so smart, pitiful, strong, weak, innocent, abused, and loving that it hurts to keep reading; however,I could not stop. Tackling racism, sexism, colorism, and classism, Delores Phillips leaves us with a book that makes you feel 'some-kind-of-way'.

I'm a BIG believer in vaccines, seasonal shots, etc. But... every year, when I get the flu shot & covid vaccine, I feel like a stiff & very heavy brick for about a day. Can't just be me - right?
And... I took both shots in one arm. What was I thinking? #geez #blessedstill

This is disgusting
An incredibly disturbing story about what is being done in our name by the police department in my hometown. Thanks to @jesserbnwtx.bsky.social for speaking out. www.lpm.org/news/2024-12...
Pregnant Kentucky woman cited for street camping while in labor
She told a police officer she was in labor. The Louisville Metro Police Department lieutenant cited her for unlawful camping as the ambulance arrived. She had a baby later that day.

Now reading We Refuse. In addition to this book, I suggest reading Force & Freedom. Timely, tenacious, and truthful.
