SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 03/02/2026“When the man becomes more oppressive he only heightens revolutionary fervor. So if things get worse for oppressed people they will feel the need for revolution and resistance. The people make revolution; the oppressors, by their brutal actions, cause resistance by the people.” 000

SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Winter=Litfic/ classics for me, but I occasionally dabble around in some fantasy and horror to switch it up #blackbooksky #booksky 150
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Reading Update 🥳😇 It’s been a great reading year, and I plan to finish it out strong 😤 I refuse to go into the new year still reading “Crime and Punishment.” #booksky 040
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 02/10/2025✨Reading Update✨ Last month was one of my favorites of the year 🙌🏾 I’ve been working on Crime and Punishment for a minute now. It’s my first full length Russian Lit, so I’ve been pacing myself through. Within the first chapter of Assata I could tell it was going to be an all time fave #booksky 📚💙 010
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 30/09/2025✨September Reading Wrap✨ A month of learning, frustration, and new all time favorites 🙌🏾 wouldn’t have it any other way #booksky #bipocbooks 060
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Highly recommend everyone read “What Does Israel Fear From Palestine?”. It’s 120 pages and gives a condensed explanation of Palestine-Israel up to 2024. “The very high human and material cost of the war in Gaza proves that what Israel fears from Palestine is Palestine's very existence.” #booksky 050
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 20/09/2025My reads always reflect what I care most about/ prioritize… it took some time for me to get to this point, but exploring my different interests through literature has been life changing 🙌🏾 #booksky 140
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 18/09/2025I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I am. I’ve been doing a lot of reading surrounding communism and theory this year, and it’s nice to find a read whose language isn’t so stifling lol 000
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 18/09/2025An oppressive state is only as oppressive as we allow them to be. The power will always be with the people, not the few. 020

SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 14/06/2025What I’m working on this week… Civil Disobedience is the perfect read for the political climate in America rn… my first V.E. Schwab book, and it’s about lesbian vampires. I’m confident I will enjoy myself. I’ve been reading Bloodmarked for too long, but Bree had me stressed 😭 #booksky #queerbooks 150
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 10/06/2025What I’m working on this week… I have too many books that I’m shuffling through, 4 buddy reads going, and trying to set time aside to make TikTok videos… but I wouldn’t have it any other way 😂😭 the chaos is comforting… most of the time #booksky #blackbooksky #diversereads 041

SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 02/06/2025“I exist as either a small canid with thick fur, pointed ears, and neat black feet, or a young woman. Neither are safe forms in a world ran by men.” This book hooked me from the beginning 🙌🏾 140

SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 28/05/2025"Here it is the war, this colonial war that very often takes on the aspect of a genuine genocide, this war which radically disrupts and shatters the world, which is in fact the triggering situation." They can tell us lies, but they cannot deny what we see with our own eyes. #FreePalestine 051
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 27/05/2025“‘I am a conservative, religious woman,’ she says. She has never shown signs of being one.” As much as the focus on trauma and mental illness weighs heavy on me, there are moments like these I find myself laughing because how are you abusive and then claiming to be so moral #booksky #diversereads 270

SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 25/05/2025“Once again, no speech, no declaration on culture will detract us from our fundamental tasks which are to liberate the national territory; constantly combat new forms of colonialism; and, as leaders, stubbornly refuse to indulge in self-satisfaction at the top. #booksky #blackbooksky 261
SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 22/05/2025I’ve started educating myself on politics because outside of Schoolhouse Rock and propaganda, my schools had a you’ll figure it out when you get older approach. We need to stop being ashamed of ignorance and do something about it. I’ll be diving into this book soon. Other recs ⬇️ #booksky #politics 1176

SandyKeeks📖🧠 @sandykeeks.bsky.social · 20/05/2025What I’m working on this week… a nice mixture of Black magic, the necessity of violence, sapphic love, and sexism… I don’t have much else to say about Things Fall Apart at the moment lol. I have a nice lil reading stride going right now despite having too many CRs 🫣 💙📚 #booksky #blackbooksky 150
