In 2019 when we tried to tackle the future of the East Bank, Save CII wailed and gnashed their teeth about all the amazing ideas that people were ignoring. Well it’s 5 years later and we’re still crowdsourcing ideas for the library and all we’ve come up for CII is “bluer roof.”

I trained as a gymnast under Larry Nassar. I know what a pedophile and a groomer are. It’s not a teacher with an “All Are Welcome” sign. It’s not a librarian who has award winning books on their shelves. Love your kids. Thank a teacher. Donate to a library. Cut the shit.

The way the right has turned "homeless person" into a thing you are supposed to be afraid of, synonymous with crime--rather than feeling empathy for a human being who we have so comprehensively failed, as a society--is bad

If you don’t like a library program, don’t attend. If you don’t like a library book, don’t check it out. Seams reasonable.

The bottom line is that we live in a country that accepts kids being slaughtered in their schools. Because we do nothing about it. It's the cost of "freedom." What a sick "freedom."

The respected children's book author was set to read to an Ohio school when the principal called. Don't come. Higher-ups don't want you here. ‘Does somebody think I made a gay book?’ Yes. The concern is that you’re coming to recruit kids to become gay. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

I Served on a book challenge committee for my school district today. Someone tried to get the graphic novel adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank pulled from shelves. Everything but the illustrations come from her diary. We voted unanimously to keep it on library shelves. 1/ – at Fort Worth, TX

Did one of the new Wichita School Board members really ask for a list of the books to be read in the elementary school summer camp program? #itbegins

It’s #LibraryGivingDay, so allow me a thread about the @wichitalibrary and the Wichita Public Library Foundation. I’m a card-carrying user of the former and sit on the board of the latter.

The "virtue signalling" JK Rowling is laughing about is South Wales Police LGBT+ Network doing community outreach work 10 minutes walk from Bute Park where Dr Gary Jenkins was brutally murdered in a horrific homophobic attack in July 2021.

Like virtue signalling, but for people who aren't really arsed. #VirtualSignalling South Wales Police @swpolice Replying to @derGammon @swplgbt and 10 others Good evening, supporting our communities is not virtual signalling and we make no apologies for doing SO.
