I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word β€œgenocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as β€œpointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Hola #KidlitPostcard day I’m Kerry Valenzuela author-illustrator looking for representation 😊 my work is derived from stories of my childhood told in a simplistic feel and my artwork is created with touch of folk art, texture, shape and pattern. Come by and visit my work ❀️ #kidlitart

Image: the cover of the book "Ilustra, Book One: Daybreaker" by Tori Tadiar. The cover features three tween, with the center figure casting some sort of spell that is making light come out of her hands. Notably, the background has a sun that evokes the same sun from the flag of the Philippines.

Proving that judging a book by its cover DOES work, I immediately noticed the way the sun was drawn on the cover of Ilustra, Book One: Daybreaker by Tori Tadiar looked VERY familiar, thus piquing my curiosity enough to look it up and put the book on hold!

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

The cover of The Complete Persepolis by Marianne Satrapi.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

The kids doing the Purim Science Spectacular are dancing and screaming to "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, a song that is significantly older than said kids dancing to it.

Kinda wild to hear a song used for ragers back in college in a kid's library program.

I’m very comfortable and cozy on the D-list, being known mostly by children and bisexual librarians, but every now and then I think it would be fun to be famous just for one or two reasons, and this is never more true than when I remember The Muppet Show

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Fielded my first official "...but AI told me x,y and z" question today, and I had to very firmly tell this older lady that, no, we cannot accept your copies of National Geographic magazine from before my parents were born.

No, Google's AI overview is NOT correct. Christ!

Every day I try to keep up with the news, and every day I learn something new and terrible about billionaires that both keep me moving left and disgust me to my core.

Also, fuck Neil Gaiman, do not let that man back into public view ever again.
