“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”
Diary of Anne Frank
January 13, 1943
It makes me so bad seeing Rin used time and time again as a weapon, people seeing her like an object instead of a person. I know where this is going but I’M SO SAD.

I’m only crying a little, promise.

The Priory of the Orange Tree! It had a prequel, but it reads mostly as a stand alone. Another book is coming in September, but it isn’t a sequel necessarily, just another book that takes place in that world. Amazing books!
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Tonight I am just sad. Tomorrow I will be angry, I will fight, I will resist. Tonight I will rest.
AOC: I don’t celebrate RAPISTS, so no, I’m not going to the inauguration tomorrow
Just so we’re clear:
1. Audiobooks count
2. Reading is political
3. The orange man is a piece of 💩
Thanks for stopping by 💃
Dear trans/nb friends,
I am so sorry. I am so sorry for how you are being (mis)treated, disrespected, and erased. I am sorry that the people in power don’t see you as equals. But we see you, and we will keep elevating your voices, and we will keep fighting.
Fuck em.
The Poppy Wars is a reread and I am actively seeking to suffer at this point. I am UNWELL and willing.
Baji is so unserious I stg. I love him, protect the berserker at all costs.

Starting the Dragon Republic with a strong drink and a soft blanket. Might ask my girlfriend to get the fireplace going to really set the mood.
I’m ready to get my feelings hurt.

The Poppy War left me just as devastated the second time around. I watched Rin make all the wrong choices for all the right reasons, and felt every emotion with her every step of the way. Such powerful storytelling by Kuang.

What I love about The Poppy War is that every character is both the best and the worst. R. F. Kuang writes such humanity into each one, you truly connect with them. AND SHE WAS ONLY 19 WHEN SHE STARTED IT. Truly an artist.

I’m sad.
Y’all sumbitches really made me agree with Rand fuckin Paul. What timeline is this and how do I get out.

TLDR: where are you all planning to get your news?

I’m genuinely terrified.
Updates on this kind of legislation? I contribute to the HRC and keep up with their emails, I also remain connected with the women’s march, and I am a NYT subscriber. However, I feel like this isn’t enough and things will fall through the cracks…
To search daily/weekly for legislation across all 50 states and federally that may impact my life and the lives of my patients.
I’m trying to stay away from Meta (kind of as a 🖕🏻 to the gov’t and Zuck) so with that being said, where is everyone planning to get…
That asks the Supreme Court to reconsider Obergefell. Or House Res. 7 about pro women’s healthcare centers.
As a queer person and a social worker, I am terrified by the current political landscape. I try and keep up as best I can, but I don’t have the tools or knowledge…
Hi everyone, this may be long but I need advice.
With TikTok being banned, I’m very concerned about how I’m going to keep up with the congressional hearings occurring, as well as dangerous legislation being proposed at the federal and state levels.
For example, the Idaho resolution…
Y’all, we have hit part 2. I’m not ready. I know how UNWELL I will be in like a hundred pages.

My first read I made a note that Jiang has autism (I am a therapist, pls don’t come for me) but now on the reread, I still think he has autism, just mixed with PTSD and SUD. A case study in comorbidity. I love him.
#thepoppywar #jiang
Oh my god I missed Jiang so much. He’s such a delight in the first part of the book.
#thepoppywar #booksky
And on that note- we’re doing a reread of The Poppy War!!! So excited to revisit Rin and Kitay, my little baby war criminals 🐦🔥
