A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

Our job is to make this the lowest-rated Super Bowl in history. Hit them where it hurts... corporate dollars. Besides, even the ads have been crap lately (watch them on YouTube on Monday if you must). #Resist #bluecrew

Headed into the weekend, a gentle reminder that this whirlwind is specifically designed to make us feel exhausted, overwhelmed, resigned, & sapped of energy, and that it is more important now than ever to connect with your community. Hug your family, check on your friends, walk in your neighborhood.

I recently finished ‘Self-Made Boys’ by Anna-Marie McLemore (audiobook narrated by Avi Roque and Kyla Garcia) and it was amazing! This is a retelling of The Great Gatsby but so much better. Everyone is a little gay, a lotta wild, and ready to fight for the people they love. #booksky #queerbooksky

The reality is if you want more high budget lesbian stories, you need to support the lower budget lesbian stories. If you want animated lesbian super heroes or magical girls or mecha anime or whatever then you need to support the books, webcomics,etc of folks making that stuff not just begging corps

Today’s black book spotlight is Spells to Forget Us by Aislinn Brophy. This one is for my YA romance lovers! If Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind had magic and was about sapphic teenagers, it would be this book! It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase second chance romance. 😏 #booksky

Day 7. Black people make up less than 5% of the publishing industry, while our culture & our suffering remain the backbone of western art. Imagine what the industry could be if we had an equal say in our own stories. Consider investing in my imprint for $5 or $12. Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

reminder that just because i’m “nice” doesn’t mean you get to be a disrespectful piece of shit around me. no i’m not gonna stay quiet while you casually say slurs or make fucked up jokes at others’ expense and mask it as dark humor. i will make you as uncomfortable as possible

You aren't letting anyone down by taking a day off from the news. The shitshow will be there tomorrow. Others can churn rage on your behalf while you breathe and keep yourself safe. You are not doing patriotism wrong by ensuring you don't lose your mind every single moment of every single day.

In a few of the comments under my post on Boycotting the Super Bowl, people have asked, "Would this really hurt them?" "Would it help us?" Yes! The Super Bowl is famously known for its high-profile commercials, with companies often spending millions on a 30-second slot because of the enormous 1/4

#resist #poliart Please stand up for political cartoonists around the country as they are starting to be pushed out for their content and/or due to "needed cuts". Art has spoken truth to power throughout history and is one of the first things crushed in regimes.
