Wow this is a deep dive

Boomshokaloka! Picked up another book to read lol. I loved the introduction to LT so I had to move on to the key book

Picked up the audiobook for this, so I could listen on night when I’m too tired to read

It’s been great. I was up til midnight reading it. It’s not like beautiful in its writing, probably since it’s just like an overview or introduction to the core principles, beliefs, and goals of liberation theology. Chapter 4 has some great theology,imo I’m not an expert…

“Liberation theology responds to such criticism with just one question: What part have you played in the effective and integral liberation of the oppressed?” Pg 9

Haven’t started it yet, but found it on the newly added shelf at union and had to grab it

I borrowed this from the Union library and gave up. The slang they use is insane and makes the reading so dense. Droogs, glazzies, yarbles, appy-Polly-loggy. Those are some of the words you have to learn, there’s pagesss in the back for translation. But I guess it was on purpose, since the entire book is about conditioning the brain. People say you can catch on after 15 pages or so, so I’ll give it a try again

2 pages in:)

Shout out to vinegar for smelling amazing and for turning cucumbers into pickles

Shout out to Zeke’s butt

This book is not a quick read💀but it’s beautiful…so that’s good

“It seems to us that there is only one answer to this question: we must recognize, and loudly proclaim, that everyone, whatever his grade in the old society, whether strong or weak, capable or incapable, has, before everything, the right to live…none need crouch under the bridges, while palaces are hard by, none need fast in the midst of plenty, none need perish with cold near shops full of fur; all is for all”

Fantastic book so far! I love the emphasis he places on the body, and the part when he talks about how much love and time was put into prince jones being just to have his body be destroyed

Fantastic so far. Beautifully written and poetically worded. Kropotkin is the type of leader this country needs; born a prince but dedicated his life to the needy… plus he looks exactly like Santa
