Human beings deserve human rights. All of them. Even ones whose governments and/or representative bodies commit atrocities. Even ones who--yes-- commit atrocities themselves. You don't lose your right to human rights, ever. That's why they're called inalienable human rights.

I keep coming back to Making Love With The Land by Joshua Whitehead. Something in the book really grabbed hold of me today. The romanticization of Indigenous trauma such as Residental Schools and MMIWG2S is published time and time again, but Indigenous triumphs and joy are shoved to the back. 1/2

Reading books without proper editing is giving me reading fatigue. Please hire line editors. Before you hire them, ask for samples. If they do shotty work, do not pay them. #BookSky #Bookstagram #Booktok

Oh no, my algorithm is melting. Someone help. 🫠

IT IS A WEDNESDAY. One does not need to party on a Wednesday.

I just love how thin my walls are. My neighbours are a couple of young men, who never stfu when they're home. Guys... you do not need to scream at each other. 😔

I'm looking for Canadian book editors, I wanna give more of you a follow!! #BookSky #BookTok

Going back through old book reviews to post and trying to make them more detailed is so brain hurty because sometimes I just can't remember.

As we get into the era of DEI rollbacks and boycotting, I just want to remind you that not everyone can boycott every place- whether that’s due to physical/mental health, socioeconomic status, or location. Do what you can, when you can. And know what your privileges are.

I called a man out on his shit for being a poor queer ally and he's stopped messaging me everyday. He was very determined to show he's an ally because he dated one once. Okay, sweetie. #lgbtq

I've been radicalised at many points in my life. I remember one time, on a school trip, walking through a Holocaust memorial museum, I was the only person crying at the atrocities. The boys made homophobic jokes. I felt so disconnected, we forget to teach people empathy.

While I appreciate seeing people post that they’re an ally/safe person, I would like to gently remind cishet white people that you don’t get to decide whether or not you’re a safe person - that is for marginalized people to decide. Let your actions speak for you.

I refuse to read Atwood, but not for the reasons you may think. She has harmed so many women and has called herself anti feminist because she refuses to give up devaluing the voices of many who came forward against an abuser. #BookSky #BookTok

Without downloading new pics, where are you mentally?

I am all for the Death of the Author theory until the author does things that harm others irl. If that author promotes harmful beliefs, that theory is no longer in effect imo. #BookSky #BookTok

Loads of spelling mistakes in this.
