A quote by Ta-Nehisi Coates from his book "Between The World And Me" on a blue background. "And still the questions behind the questions are never asked. Should assaulting an officer of the state be a capital offense, rendered without trial, with the officer as judge and executioner? Is that what we wish civilization to be? And all the time the Dreamers are pillaging Ferguson for municipal governance. And they are torturing Muslims, and their drones are bombing wedding parties (by accident!), and the Dreamers are quoting Martin Luther King and exulting nonviolence for the weak and the biggest guns for the strong."

Every word is a hard, but poignant truth.

My sister got and finished this book before me (rude), but since grad school deadlines are not as tight, I can finally get to it.

It is a must read.

Numbers 22 & 23 of #25in2025 for #booksky is a reread of #BetweenTheWorldAndMe & the @offcolorbrewing.bsky.social book of the month for November.

Within striking distance now of the goal! What should I end on?

20 authors you’d recommend to a friend. One author per day, no particular order.

"I didn't yet realize that the boot on your neck is just as likely to make you delusional as it is to ennoble.
#Ta-NehsiCoates #BetweenTheWorldAndMe

"There is nothing uniquely evil in these destroyers or even in this moment. The destroyers are merely men enforcing the whims of our country, correctly interpreting its heritage and legacy."

Today's Recommendations are Memoirs. The first two I read last year and the other one I read about 10 years ago, but it has really stuck with me #whyfatherscryatnight #betweentheworldandme #iknowwhythecagedbirdsings #blackbookrecs #blackbooks #blackhistorymonth #booksky

Ep 3! Fear is natural, but its weaponization is intentional. They can erase policies, but not us. This week on Living in 3D Power, we’re talking fear, strength, and reclaiming joy. Subscribe to #LivingIn3DPower on Substack or listen wherever you get your #podcasts! #betweentheworldandme

We hope you tune in tomorrow to hear our conversation on strengths. Emma, as always, drops some gems and helps us all remember what we must stay rooted and grounded in, especially during this time. #livingin3dpower #betweentheworldandme #newpodcastalert #blackschoolpsychologist

#NeverAgainFORAnyone #endcastesystems

Ik las recent #BetweenTheWorldAndMe, van #Ta-NehisiCoates. Eén van zijn punten is dat mensen blijkbaar tolereren dat anderen in moeilijke omstandigheden leven
Niet alls wat de familie van der Vorm doet, vind ik geweldig.
Maar zij tolereren dit niet, en dóen iets eraan!

Read #BetweenTheWorldAndMe 3 times this summer 📖. Looking forward to discussing it with my bro-in-law soon.

70% through re-reading #BetweenTheWorldAndMe. Re-reading is generally something I always say I'll do but never do...

The planned #BlackityBookClub discussion of #BetweentheWorldandMe was postponed because some people were hungover post birthday, ahem...

I'm 30 pages into #BetweentheWorldandMe. We'll be discussing it on Thurs. #blackitybookclub

Our 1st discussion of @tanehisicoates's #BetweentheWorldandMe will be on Thursday 7/24. Time TBA. Hashtag: #BlackityBookClub.

Amazon says #BetweentheWorldandMe is frequently bought with Go Set a Watchman AND promoted a Robert E. Lee bio to me with it.
