“ALA said…that 72% of all book challenges [in 2024] were lodged not by the public, not by parents, but by school board members and administrators, essentially by management inside of the school system.” — @andylaties.bsky.social in @publisherswkly.bsky.social www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Thanks Judith Rosen for this coverage! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I made a press release.

How can I plan to support librarians who may be at risk, upon acquiring my new book for their collections? www.andrewlaties.com/youre-tellin...

Why? You ask…

It’s not easy to stop revising—but I’m gonna stop!! www.andrewlaties.com/youre-tellin...

Thanks to The Morning Call for covering our People’s Inauguration event— a 5-hour community read aloud of Special Counsel Jack Smiths report www.mcall.com/2025/01/20/a...

Come on down to join the community readaloud of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report: we will be taking turns. Here’s Melba Tolliver reading now (at Book & Puppet Co, 161 Northampton St, Easton PA)

We will postpone today’s planned community read-aloud if “Don’t Think of an Elephant” by George Lakoff to next Saturday, January 25, from 2 to 6pm— because of today’s snowstorm.

Well I keep reading these two pages over and over again. I first encountered this book The Karma of Words by William LaFleur 25 years ago and I periodically am drawn back to it. This past few months I have been reading it and rereading it.

We are hosting a community read-aloud of Jack Smith report on January 20– we will also stream this program online. Stop by to take a turn! www.eventbrite.com/e/peoples-in... www.eventbrite.com/e/peoples-in...

My new favorite poem!

Origin of rhythm in form

I made this film and posted it on FB. A few days later, I saw it had been removed from my feed! … The film: I saw a “customer” had concealed the much-banned “Gender Queer” by placing another book in front— one that was bizarrely inappropriate for censorship work. (Will Bluesky take down this post?)
