Two books lying on a brown table. One book on the top right is slightly out of the photo. The book has a yellow cover. The book highlighted on the left side is Be A Revolution. It is a paperback with a white cover with five rectangles on the from. The top rectangle is yellow, below orange, then pink, then the bottom two are yellow. On the rectangles is the title of the book.

I finished this a few days ago. Vital reading.
“By this twisted logic, he writes, “[Palestinians] are not human, automatically, by virtue of being human—we are to be humanized by virtue of our proximity to innocence: whiteness, civility, wealth, compromise, collaboration, nonalignment, nonviolence, helplessness, futurelessness.”
Graffiti street art on a pale peach colored building. The spray paint is black. The art is Elon musk in a nazi uniform doing a nazi salute. Dangling from the hand he is saluting with is a very tiny trump puppet with a triangle nose and a lollipop

#booksky💙📚 book 16 of 2025: The Ex Vows. Really cute second chance romance. I loved this but didnt love the MC choosing SLU as a Seattle neighborhood to live in 🤣
Black and white book cover on my kindle. The background is a faded cartoon sea and setting or rising Sun. The text of the title takes up most of the cover. Background behind my kindle is my pink knitted blanket
#booksky💙📚 book 15 of 2025: how to live in a chaotic climate. This is good for people struggling with the overwhelming emotions brought on by accepting the climate crisis.
Kindle with a black and white digital book cover of the milkweed lands. There is a butterfly below the center and milkweed around the cover
#booksky💙📚 book 14 of 2025: the Milkweed Lands. I loved this book. It’s short and sweet. Gives Milkweed the beautiful story it deserves and shows how interconnected we all are❤️
Screenshot from storygraph. The background is gray. On left is the digital bookcover. There’s water plus a vertical white rectangle book title at top. On right is text describing book
#booksky💙📚 book 13 of 2025: collection of nature inspired poetry. Didnt love the ableist language that served no point. Poems were okay. This is a series of nature books I reviewed to fix my netgalley feedback ratio🤣
Picture of my kindle screen with a book cover on it. The bookcover has the outline of a crow with text of the book name surrounded by plants. Black and white
#booksky💙📚 book 12 of 2025: The Comfort of Crows. Honestly wanted to love this it was just a little boring. Still pleasant. Basically small entries for each week of the year pertaining to seasons about the magic of nature around us.
Can’t recommend this book enough. Thank you to @oneworldbooks.bsky.social for the advanced readers copy.
Paperback book lying on beige carpet. There’s sunlight coming through and shades playing on the book and carpet. The bookcover has a vertically stretched apple with a bite taken out of it. In the empty space is a small person. On the Apple is the text “Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native children and the contruction of American racism”
#booksky💙📚 Book 11 of the year: Original Sins by Eve L Ewing. Comes out this week and I highly recommend. Required reading for educators. Explores our propaganda based education system and its intentions to force the erasure and disappearance of Black and Indigenous people.
Hanif Abdurraqib’s writing is so good I didn’t even update y’all with what I’ve read since. Here we go
Protestor holding up a Palestinian flags. Reads “Sudan and Gaza”
The only thing I know about the Super Bowl is this.
The ASL version of “Not Like Us” is magnificent.
During Kendrick's halftime show a man unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and eventually tackled and removed by security.

These two lines, although from different poems, when paired together are just spectacular. Cant stop thinking about them.
“The seasons I remember most are the ones I never want to come again. And isn’t this how each story starts? With a list of things we know we cannot take back?”
“It is somehow easy to forget that there are so many ways to die while black & not all of them involve being made hollow while the world watches & isn’t that a funny thing?”
“& I didn’t know how to talk about distance out loud.”
“which is a weird way to say I think I could love you until even the sun grows tired of coming back every spring.”
“you’re right maybe there is no such thing as a country maybe there is just gutted land and rows of sharp teeth that have torn at my flesh for so long I’m not exactly sure which wound is the one I belong to.”
“Blessed be the destruction of all things too beautiful to endure an untouched life.”
“She asks if I have ever watched a singer throw his grief over an audience like a blanket, a mass of boys weeping in the front row & I tell her yes because I have seen a father singing a prayer into his palms while a woman he loves fades away forever & I think this may be the same thing”
“There are ten different ways to say sunset. The bartender says my face is wearing all of them.”
“you may ask why I allow my face to drown in less and less joy with each passing year and I will say I just woke up one day and I was a still photo in everyone else’s home but my own.”
“I am like you. I still want to feast on the happiest moments of strangers. I don’t know what this makes men like us except bound to our loneliness”
“how much of our language has been pulled over the tongues of everyone but us?”
Can we just have a moment for how beautiful Hanif Abdurraqib’s writing is?
Black and white photo on my kindle of a book cover. The book is the crown ain’t worth much. There’s a Black boy with an Afro resting his forehead against the forehead of a wolf. There are geese flying away in the background.
#booksky📚💙 book 10 of 2025, finally book of Jan was this unforgettable collection of Hanif Abdurraqib’s. He blends music and grief together in a way that always leaves me reeling.
