Tennessee joining a list of states committed to making its residents as stupid and un-well-read as possible.

I was buying my lunch salad on my way to the gallery this morning, and a man walked in after me and asked where I got the sticker from. He said "It's perfect. PERFECT. I'm buying it." and walked out (so he followed me in just to ask me this question). I look forward to seeing the same stickers in town soon. #Banbookbans

The Hypocrisy of Book Bans: #BanBookBans | From Behind the Pen

Image compiled by Kym Gordon Moore I can be a reasonable person who is very capable of sitting down and having a civil conversation with people, at least most of the time anyway. The fiery spewing of name-calling and biased opinions will only exhaust and infuriate me even more, especially when it’s uncalled for. As with many of you, creative works are important to me, just as recipes are to a chef, music is…

The lengths bigots will go to, to show the world just how sportful & hateful they truly are is simply revolting. A hate pastor's plan to instruct his followers to check out #LGBTQ books to avoid others from reading them; I really do hope it backfires

@knittingknots2 not much of a revision, given the only "restraint" is a $100 fee if a person not a parent of a student challenges more than 5 books I. A school district, refundable if the challenge is successful.

@tultican 👏👏👏👏 Great win for public school parents — and for sanity in the public space!
