I purchased three books by Colin Flaherty:
White Girls Bleed a Lot
The Knockout Game
Don't make the Black Kids Angry.
They are a compilation of news stories and they are best read with a smart phone so you can watch the internet link videos.
As the last human on the planet without a smart phone the books are not that useful to me.
Is anyone else interested in them?
PM me and I will send them to you.
Best,
the soup!

I highly recommend Flaherty and his work. His YouTube channel is a vitally important watch.
“As the last human on the planet without a smart phone the books are not that useful to me.”
You’re not the LAST one. I laughingly call my phone a Dumb Phone. It’s just for emergency use. I know - I’m way behind the times, but I like it that way.
I have watched it, that is why I bought the book. It is a compilation, but not an expansion on the topics seen online.
There’s no doubt that those are good books. The author lays all the facts out, plain and simple.
I’m in California, probably too much postal distance away to make it practical.
I was going to suggest donating to your local public library, but those are probably seen as ‘controversial’ books, in other words, not NYT or BLM approved. So there may be some polite hesitation in accepting the books or putting them on display.
Some local libraries in Oakland, Ca. have become closer to day shelters for the homeless.
There may be Home Schooling parents who would take those books.
I’ll bet you shock a lot of folks by the ‘revolutionary act’ of deciding NOT to own and operate a cell phone. No doubt many people of today would feel baffled , panicked, overwhelmed and traumatized if made to leave the house without their Adult Pacifier aka cell phone.
I think a few more people are beginning to feel as you do about it. We don’t always need to be ‘connected’ all the time. Life will go on.
I have one for emergency too. Last call I made was about a year ago.
It’s great for listening to the radio, though...
No smart phone here, either. Don’t want one. Have no use for one. And my wallet appreciates not having one.
Smart phone?
LOL...I,ve never even had a cellphone!
Are they kindle books?
Just PM’d you.
Mine’s so old fashioned, it is sometimes called a “clamshell” phone. I’ve used it so seldom that I have to keep reminding myself to even turn it on when I get on the Interstate! :^)
Mine’s an android on a TracFone deal; I barely know how to use it, except to fire up ‘Tune-In’ radio. I have to sit down with the manual whenever I’m preparing to travel and might need it. (Oh - you can also listen to audiobooks on it ;-)
Nowadays you just have to make decisions about how much ‘noise’ to let into your life, and that’s one of mine. If people want to talk to me, they can call my home telephone.
But you have a computer with internet access. Why not read them on your laptop/desktop?
No, dead tree books

Because you have to have one of those readers that read all the lines squiggled in a box that then opens the link directly.
Okay, thanks. I prefer the Kindle version as the links are live.
