readingispolitical hashtag performance

#ReadingIsPolitical: A hashtag championing the power of books. It sparks conversations about social justice, challenges oppressive narratives, and encourages diverse voices in literature. Reading empowers, resists, and builds empathy.
Replying to @nope If oppression doesn’t matter until it reaches you, you have to ask yourself whether you are a part of that oppression. That’s something we all have to really keep in mind. #BookTok #blackbooktok #bipocauthors #readingwithmichael #writingwithmichael #readingispolitical #writingispolitical #bindery #leftunread #handmaidstale #parableofthesower

Replying to @phuckthislife I think Margaret Atwood could have told that story honestly while still centering a white character. But she didn't. And I still won't why. #BookTok #blackbooktok #bipocauthors #readingwithmichael #writingwithmichael #readingispolitical #writingispolitical
I bet you enjoyed your lil break. Now back to the bookstore we go!!! 😡 #BookTok #blackbooktok #bipocauthors #readingwithmichael #writingwithmichael #readingispolitical #writingispolitical
Replying to @skalnaik art does not exist in a vacuum, it is inherently political #arthistory #artispolitical #artist #artworld #readingispolitical #artdiscourse
Replying to @Clkattheburrow We can tell honest stories from any point of view. It’s not about centering Black characters. It’s about fully exploring the story in front of us. #BookTok #blackbooktok #bipocauthors #readingwithmichael #writingwithmichael #readingispolitical #writingispolitical #bindery #leftunread #handmaidstale

Replying to @Specdumb Heavy on the “it reached us first and hardest”. That has to be a part of the story for it to leave readers with a useful takeaway. #BookTok #blackbooktok #bipocauthors #readingwithmichael #writingwithmichael #readingispolitical #writingispolitical #bindery #leftunread

I'm going live on YT @ 6:30pm EST today (1/24)! I could probably do another whole video on the fantasy/dystopian genre + more books in general. It's even more terrible to think that most of these books are going to be on ban lists. #bookbans #readingispolitical #pocrepresentation #alicewalker #taliahibbert #issarae #blackbritishhistory #favoritebooks
