Resonance: "What those who redact Carle’s childlike art probably don’t realize is that it was inspired by his own response to censorship growing up in Nazi Germany. 'Hitler dictated not only politics and everything, he also dictated art,' he told NPR in 2011."

Toni Morrison was born today in 1931. So much wisdom; so much beauty; so much righteous fury.
“Definitions belong to the definers, not the defined.” Let's take our words back from the hands of those who are erasing and desecrating their meaning.

The recent social media ban for teens is more than just a restriction – it’s an affront to maturity! Infantilizing young people only stunts their growth. Let’s empower instead of restrict! #SocialMedia #YouthEmpowerment #BanTheBan #DigitalFreedom Source: https://theinformer.uk

"WI is currently considering a similar bill to W.VA's. ID has a bill on the table that would “prohibit certain materials from being promoted, given, or made available to a minor.” Which materials?. . . “any act of masturbation, homosexuality, sexual intercourse, or physical contact w/a person’s clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks or, if such person be a female, the breast.” Not the point but "the" breast?! Absurdity + #fascism.

Never did I imagine the word "library" and "trauma" would be connected, unless the link referred to a book on one of the shelves.
"A group called Urban Libraries Unite is busy setting up "virtual support groups" to help librarians deal with trauma, Lauren Comito, a Brooklyn librarian who chairs the organization, tells Axios."

"I’m not pulling a single book from my shelves, I’m not telling a single child they can’t read a book, and I’m not submitting any more books to be vetted. I’ve complied as much as I plan to." -- Michael Andoscia, hero, who resigned from his teaching position after his school removed his classroom library

"The Escambia County School District, located in the Florida panhandle, has removed several dictionaries from its library shelves over concerns that making the dictionaries available to students would violate Florida law. The American Heritage Children's Dictionary, Webster's Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary are among more than 2800 books that have been pulled from Escambia County school libraries and placed into storage." -

#Fahrenheit451 in #Fl: "All the shelves were covered in black paper. There were no books. There was nobody reading. There was nobody checking things out. It wasn’t a library. It was just a room. Initially, I was confused. Then I got angry. I found out why the books were covered up. It’s because of all these new laws and school rules that happened because some people were really upset the library had books about LGBTQ people — books about people like me."
