I picked this up randomly this morning. It is easy to read, but not an easy read, if that makes sense. It is written in small vignettes, journal form. The author's husband dies unexpectedly making her a widow in her thirties. It is heartbreaking and gut wrenching, but beautiful. Highly recommend if you're looking for something meaningful to read. I found my stomach dropping at points and I may not have cried, but I could feel tears coming. It is a brave book.

So this is what I am thinking about: The majority of my neighbors have known me for most of my life. All those around me are Trump supporters. They have watched my kids grow up. They KNOW us. I should be able to say that my family is safe in my own neighborhood, but I don't really know that we are.

Do we leave? Where the fuck do we go?

In the past we have had people ask about making donations to help curb our cost of running the server.

As Bookstodon.com is a labor of love (books are my real life obsession), we will never ask for donations.

We are also able to keep our costs low due to running our own Mastodon hosting platform.

If you are interested in helping out, we would just like you to help bring friends to Mastodon from Twitter or Goodreads whether it be our server or any other.

Had a good hike through the woods. Here's a tiny flower I came across.
