Welcome to another meeting of the Cozy Retreat Book Club, hosted so graciously by Rembrandt's Cafe. We will be continuing our discussion from last month where we unpack Susan's comments about the March selection.
No, we will not pick a new book for next month. We will not pick another book until Susan has been held accountable. Yes, we were about books, but it's important that books take a backseat to accountability sometimes. And that time is now.
Susan, I'm not sure you understand how difficult this is for us. Bearing the psychic violence you've inflicted on us is enough, but do you know how many hours we've spent on the dossier of your misdeeds? Do you know the emotional labor we've endured holding these criticism sessions? You're effectively gaslighting us when you continue to deny our accusations despite the clearly stated evidence in Cynthia's lovely dossier.
Susan, please don't defend yourself. Now is the time for you to listen. In fact - no, we will - in fact, let us declare that we will no longer be reading books in the Cozy Retreat Book Club. The time is not right for reading books. We will be reading justice. We will be reading hearts.
Now, you may say there are larger concerns in the world. This is true, but we cannot address the material harms of reality until we have addressed the material harms of Susan.
Susan, please, in the spirit of untoxic collectivism, retract your statement that my suggestion that we read young adult fantasy novel A Kingdom of Winds and Darkness was "kind of juvenile" and that "shit sucks"
