Fantastic that an uncompromising three and a half hour movie can win three (!) Golden Globes!! Best drama, best actor AND best motion picture director. Huge congrats to director Brady Corbet and his Norwegian partner Mona Fastvold who has written this epic! 👏👏 #goldenglobes #thebrutalist

Finished the 1st book of the year on x-mas holiday, and what a read!! Recommend Alexei Navalnys posthumous biography «Patriot» to absolutely everyone. Such a page turner! A true crime (written by the victim himself) and deep insight into Russia, propaganda, Putin, dictatorships and true bravery 💙📚

Fin liten sak om boka vår i VG! Vi vet at stadig færre norske barn leser for glede, samtidig er mange barn interessert i sport. Derfor ville vi bruke idrett som inngang og ta barns nysgjerrighet om smått og stort om sport på alvor💪🏻⚽️🚣‍♀️👩‍🦽🎾 @birgitskarstein.bsky.social #boksky #barnebok

A blow to book banners! A federal judge has struck down key parts of an Arkansas law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing so-called “harmful” materials to minors. The law would have deputized librarians and booksellers as agents of censorship.

In Arendal, Norway, reactions from 1 parent made the principal tell the librarian to remove Maia Kobabes «GenderQueer» from the shelves. It should be obvious but information is not harmful. No one is forced to read a book! The librarian resisted and the book is now back on the shelves, for now.

New Jersey is fighting back against book bans and just passed the «Freedom to Read Act”! Most books in the risk of being banned deal with LGBTQ issues or race. “Students feel the pain when the books that describe their lived experience were called disgusting, obscene, and depraved.” 💙📚 #bookbans

“Now they have laws where if Palestinian citizens of Israel like a social media post from Gaza, they could be arrested. And there's more and more cases of this happening where there's a crackdown on free speech within the ‘48 territories.” The free LitHouse podcast with author Isabella Hammad👇🏻 💙📚

For years Christian Conservative forces have been attacking the abortion law in Norway. Today the Norwegian Parliament pushed forcefully back, liberalising key points of the law. Overjoyed to see that activism works! May this give hope to sisters around the world, still I fighting✊🏻

«Over the past two years, there have been over 200 bills in state legislatures proposing statewide book bans in school libraries or criminalized librarians for providing access to books that some people object to.» This could be nation wide. Project2025 lays out how a national #bookban could work.

Så glad for partier som ser verdien av arbeidet litteraturhuset gjør for å spre interesse for lesing, bøker+kunnskap! Varm takk til @venstre.no og @gurimelby.venstre.no som har foreslått en økning til oss i sitt alternative budsjett (sammen med andre gode tiltak som Samlaget, OsloPride & Jurk) 🙏🏻

🧵Finished reading Aftermath by Harald Jähner. Great book on how to build up a country after a devastating war. Might sound like a depressing read in these days but actually gives hope on how it might be possible to rebuild war torn areas in like Ukraine or Gaza today🙏🏻 #booksky 1/6

«Asså i den outfiten der er jo du.. jeg håper bare du blir så full at du sovner for å si det sånn høhø». Åpenbart at Overton-vinduet for sovende jenter aka sovevoldtekt har flytta seg i enkelte miljø. Har du ikke har sett er det 18 min, etter at hun har sagt nei til å kysse: tv.nrk.no/se?s=dama-til
