Someone being sassy or even rude or cruel on the internet to you doesn't mean they have more power than you/have power over you socially. Sometimes shit just hurts your feelings. Power isn't just a numbers game, it's also abt who's more likely to be believed, taken seriously, by more powerful ppl

Libraries save lives. Attacks on libraries endanger, particularly, kids and LGBTQI folks looking for information they need just to survive.

Libraries and librarians are under attack in so many place in so many ways and I wanted to do something, so I made this image in support of them. You can download it or print it up to let folks know you support your libraries! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

goodreads Potato A Farmer Becca L. 20 Reviews 437 Followers ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ I got this potato expecting it to be more of an apple. It was not red or yellow or green and wasn’t sweet at all. Instead, it was brown and had rough skin and I was supposed to cook it. I’m not a fan of potatoes. DNF.

I'll be at Annie Blooms with Agnes Lee and Taki Soma on May 2 at 7:00. If you're in Portland, I'd love to see you there!

This is such an amazing resource for anyone wanting to get into comics and publishing. If I was still teaching, I'd make it mandatory reading.

In Murfreesboro, TN they are currently trying to make both "public homosexuality" illegal AND ban books with LGBTQ content for kids. If you'd like to do a small thing today, you could drop their public library an email in support of titles like Flamer, and This Book Is Gay. rclstn.org/contact-us

You mean what you’re advocating disabled people must do, Ryan? This is ableism in action. It doesn’t matter to Ryan and others like him if covid reaches him, bc he assumes he’ll be fine. Millions of us won’t. And never mind long covid which is permanently disabling millions.

it is going to reach you unless you sever all human contact forever

In the dialogue around all of this something I've been struggling with is just painting Scholastic (and all publishing, really) as An Entity, but there are very real people inside of that entity making these decisions. And those people should be held accountable in addition to the company.

Folks, look, Scholastic is only a billion-dollar juggernaut that dominates the children’s book industry. What are they supposed to do about fascist book banning and censorship in the face of 11 racists sending angry emails? Whatever they want because they literally can? C’mon. Be reasonable.

I just think Scholastic's CEO, Peter Warwick, who makes more than $3m/yr should donate his annual bonus of $1.25m to the fight against censorship. Maybe even directly to libraries or schools directly impacted. We're past the point where a milquetoast press release about company values means shit.

Me: I need to make this slide deck for a presentation. It'll take a couple of hours. SIX HOURS LATER...

I set up the Scholastic Book Fair this morning and it’s 85% IP, 5% tchotchkes, 5% Dav Pilkey, 3% stand alone books, and 2% locking fuzzy journals. The diversity boxes I requested had books that had diverse characters and rather uncontroversial plots. Soft censorship’s alive and well at Scholastic.

I get asked a lot if I think I changed anything when I stood up to scholastic and I always say no. It still sucks to see that I was right.

Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄

Scholastic Under Fire for Allowing Schools to Opt Out of ‘Diverse Books’ for Book Fairswww.themarysue.com Scholastic has been accused of bending to right-wing pressure, making having diverse books optional for school book fairs.
