It's amazing what you can accomplish when you surround yourself with genuine, supportive people. Thank you to everyone who helped make these last six months the best months of my life. I couldn't have done it without you! #TheTruthShallSetYouFree #RealRecogizeReal #WeKeepUsSafe #ArtOverEgos

@roderickstruth.bsky.social isn't just wise. He's also humble, especially when talking about his book. 😅 You can hear the whole conversation this month on The Plural of You.

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to give a standing ovation after listening to an audiobook. Just…. WOW. Innumerable truth bombs. Find this book. Borrow from the library if you don’t have the money, request they get it if they don’t have it. If you have the money, BUY SEVERAL COPIES OF THIS BOOK.

i'm once again recommending everyone read this book (it is low-cognitive demand, easy to digest, funny, and extremely relevant for obvious reasons). Digital copies, audiobook, and free copies available as well. Just read it. 📚 TruthIsPublishing.com

iris is holding a copy of "Starting Somewhere: Community Organizing For Socially Awkward People Who've Had Enough" by Roderick Douglass. the cover shows a Black man walking down a street, pulling a red wagon and holding his phone up to show his view on camera.

you can see iris's tie dye sweater and a wet sidewalk.

I cannot recommend this book enough if you, too, are floundering for how to do something, anything, but have never and don’t consider yourself “good” at things like this @roderickstruth.bsky.social wrote the best book I’ve read in a long while.
