Book banning is real and is terrorizing teachers, librarians & students from marginalized identities now. It is worse than it has ever been. If you’re remembering your quaint “Celebrate Freedom. Read a Banned Book” T-shirt, adjust your perspective. You’ve brought an umbrella to a hurricane.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Would any French-fluent mutuals be up for translating two short sentences from English into French for me? I don’t trust Google. DM if so! 🫶

I never really joined Twitter, and I'm not convinced I want/need more social media, but the FOMO is winning today. So, hi! Hello!
