The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

If being disrespectful to black women is a means to your supposed antifascist end, fuck you and your revolution.

ALL OF THIS. It’s really hard to purchase books for teens of ALL AGES AND INTERESTS lately as a Librarian.
From YA books being rewritten for adult audiences to descriptions talking about how horny everyone in the story is, what is going on in YA literature right now?
I don't have answers, but I have a lot of questions, concerns, and sadness for today's teen readers.

YA Has Entered Its Awkward Adolescence and It's Teens Who Are Losing Out
What is going on with young adult literature right now? Characters are older, stories are steamier, and there are fewer books reaching actual teens.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

Well it’s October and I have a road trip coming up this weekend which means it’s time for my annual reread of probably my favorite audiobook of all time: The Gates by John Connolly. If you have a library card and your library gives you access to the Hoopla app you can listen to it any time!

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.
This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...
