Sometimes you see a book at the street library and you just know you have to bring it home~

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw

Had one (1) brief interaction with some kids playing basketball in my local park and 3hrs later I've run through the full Coach Carter (2000)/Take the Lead (2006) scenario where I reluctantly take a rag tag group of kids under my wing and teach them Sports ™ but also the Power of Friendship and give them a safe space to talk about mental health and lgbt things and how to set healthy boundaries and maybe I even learn that it's ok to love again and my crippling depression lifts because I finally have a Purpose

Maybe I even put one of those letterbox libraries out the front of my house so they have access to fun books and develop a lifelong love of literature

Briefly? A basketball coach? It's more likely than you think.

I thought some of my Tumblr mutuals would be interested to see this article.

Viola Ford Fletcher, aged 109, just published a memoir 'Don't Let Them Bury My Story' about her experience during the Greenwood/Tulsa Massacre. It will be available for purchase August 15th.

"Her memoir, “Don’t Let Them Bury My Story,” is a call to action for readers to pursue truth, justice and reconciliation no matter how long it takes. Written with graphic details of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre that she witnessed at age seven, Fletcher said she hoped to preserve a narrative of events that was nearly lost to a lack of acknowledgement from mainstream historians and political leaders.

The questions I had then remain to this day,” Fletcher writes in the book. “How could you just give a mob of violent, crazed, racist people a bunch of deadly weapons and allow them — no, encourage them — to go out and kill innocent Black folks and demolish a whole community?”

“As it turns out, we were victims of a lie,” she writes.

Fletcher notes in her memoir just how much history she has lived through — from several virus outbreaks preceding the coronavirus pandemic, to the Great Depression of 1929 and the Great Recession of 2008 to every war and international conflict of the last seven decades. She has watched the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. lead the national Civil Rights Movement, seen the historic election of former President Barack Obama and witnessed the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement."

My summer routine is borrowing a book from the street library and then going to the park and reading for a few hours until I can't take the sun anymore. Oh and sometimes I get ice cream on the way home.
