as a kid i spent every other day during the summer at my local library. it was full of books and the bullies that enjoyed beating me up would never think to go inside. win win.
I feel part of my love for books came from accidentally smacking a bully in the face with the spine of a book when they tried to grab it from my hands. Self defense item *and* trove of information in one✨
As a kid when we went on holiday to relatives in the summer i took books out on my card (6), my mums card (6), my stepdads card (6) AND still had to join the local library. Library books made me who i am!
Fascists want to have exclusive control over children's access to information to groom them into fascism (and frequently also to rape them, which they project onto gay people)
