No but for real. Like look at this angel. She didn’t ask to be created in the image of a human. And she’s doing exactly what’s being asked (demanded) or her. She could be just as “intelligent” and be designed to look like a bunny rabbit. But she looks like a person. Does that make her one?

There are 9 gay male romances on this New York Times list of queer romance novels. 8 of them were written by women. Gay men, of course, being clearly unable to understand our own romances.

I do not believe that books can be nutritious, or bad for your health. I do not believe that books can have ages or genders. But I do believe the books we love are the ones that make us readers - and I do believe every reader should have the right to choose what they read. #books #literacy

Children's books are not a luxury. Libraries & librarians are not a luxury. The teachers who work so hard to inspire kids to read are not a luxury. If you cut or undermine or lose these things – #literacy will cease to be a basic human right, and will become a luxury, available only to a few.

Why should children read? Because reading for pleasure has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. And imagining a better world is the first step to building one. So come what may - please keep reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. It has never mattered more.
