Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians.
There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

I'd like to go on a castle hike in Wales. You?
wow, that's a beautiful view behind you
Writers: you know when you tackle a troublesome draft and get that happy, humming feeling afterwards?
That's the good stuff.
I'm always editing my work, so... this morning, haha. What about yourself?
Why haven't the LOOP people made this man their mascot yet
Butlerian jihad, now?
I've always wanted a talking crow, ride on my shoulder. What about you?
The secret to an enjoyable social media experience on here is to make real connections with incredible people, block quickly, and don’t be a fucking creepy asshole bent on destroying everything good in the world.
12 years with us. He was a stray who ran into our house during a snow storm, so I couldn't guess at his breed or exact age.

Happy Pride 🌈🏳️⚧️❤️My favorite thing about Pride month is that it doubles as Fragile Straight Man month and the bigots out themselves. 😁
That it is.
This is giving @wildgreenmemes.bsky.social and I am here for it
I can't begin to apologize enough for this visual travesty. Our robot mascot is the largest element. It sits in the lower right, with a flower wreath on it's head and a waving capybara is poking out from it. In the top left, there's a screaming possum, yelling READ CLARKESWORLD!!! Our robot will be sad if you don't. Across the top it says The only science fiction magazine that is possum approved! Oh, and I forgot to mention that this includes the most offensive fonts, primarily comic sans, but also papyrus, brush script, and courier. I won't pain you by explaining each use. Oh and wingdings, which is under the approval notice. Apparently, it's Clarkesworld in wingdings. How did I forget to say that the background is blue and most of the text is pink? Next down from the top is an area just labeled This space intentionally left blank, then the possum speak. Now we have No Zombies Allowed even with the capy, who by the way has lens flares arcing down and away from the robot. That runs into a sloth with its arms and legs outward, like it is falling. It's saying fun! As it falls towards a hole, which has above it, Get the hole story! a callout to Isabel J. Kim's story that's on so many award ballots this year. Above the sloth, it says science fiction written by humans! and below the robot's chin, it says Online now! In the bottom right corner is the I'm just a girl hamster with subscribe written over it's head. The text is at all sorts of angles. Chaos reigns. And nowhere does it say where you can find Clarkesworld.
This is what happens when you get marketing suggestions on Discord. (And because it's not in the actual image, you can find us at clarkesworldmagazine.com)
What if we all get a lot more writerly with the rise of AI? What could that look like? authorjennifershelby.substack.com/p/shh-dont-s...

Behind a green chair sits a grey and white cat, sitting on a ledge pulled out from an old desk so he enjoy the view from the window of a slowly greening spring. He is sitting on his haunches, looking at the camera with an expression of loving tolerance. Thanks for reading, I wish you a beautiful day filled with your favorite things.
Happy rainy Caturday from Blizzard (the wizard)

Screenshot of an article stating “Native women and girls are murdered at more than 10 times the national average. Among Native women victims of assault, an average of 63% describes the offender as non-Native. Among Native women victims of rape or sexual assault, an average of 67% describes the offender as non-Native. More than 4 in 5 (84.3%) of Indigenous women have experienced violence in their lifetime.
Today, May 5, is Red Dress Day - the National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2Spirit People. A day of solemn remembrance and action to honor the missing and gone and to fight for justice and safety for our sisters and relatives.
