Canada’s Boycott Is Freaking MAGA Out
A Canadian journalist contacted me the other day looking to get a sense of the current state of the Canadian boycott.

Just a reminder that most bloggers review books for free alongside a trillion other commitments in busy lives. Please don't take that for granted. If a review isn't quick enough, good enough or you don't agree with it, keep in mind we are doing this solely for love of books.

So true! We are getting more and more government services loaded onto our shoulders. No civil servant pay rises on the horizon, either!
I work in a public library in a relatively populous city and every single day I deal with WAY more issues stemming from housing/addiction/mental health/dv/poverty than I do book bans.
Honestly, a lot of the issues public libraries deal with can't be solved until we refund, rebuild, and reimagine a whole lot of other public services.
You can't shut everything else down, funnel every single person with every single need known to humankind into the library and expect good results.

The essays we share are an attempt to make sense of the world we find ourselves in and to imagine what resistance can look like in the face of rising authoritarianism.

Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.
