I am compiling a list for my intro to sociology class on books they can read for a book report. What new books have come out (within the past 5 years) that I should add to it? What have y’all written 👀

1 in 10 people in state prison today was homeless before turning 18. 1 in 5 was in public housing before 18. 1 in 5 was in foster care. The U.S continues to allow kids to grow up in poverty - and then end up in prison.

Time to finish this dissertation!! Please share with your friends & networks! 🙂 The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the lived experiences and well-being of Black queer and trans college students, in addition to the ways they make sense of and manifest joy.

Sums up a @SpiritAirlines experience: I needed a flight attendant. I had to yell to get their attention. He said, “you could of just used the call bell.” I said, “I tried it doesn’t work.” He didn’t believe me, tried it, didn’t work, he said, “well excuse me, I take that back.”
