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.

Did 'Andor' Season 2 Just Bury Its Gays?
Despite being the most radical Star Wars show, 'Andor' just took two steps back where its LGBT representation is concerned.

I'm so gutted. It feels like such an obvious or lazy or ignorant (not sure which is worse) gut punch when gut punches to queer folks are all over the place right now.

De-extinction company Colossal Biosciences claims to have brought back the dire wolf – it hasn’t.
No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction
Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

Good dinosaur sounds this morning. Magpie chirps, woodpecker taps, the fussy whistles of songbirds. It’s so everyday it can be easy to forget the terrible lizards are still here. They live.

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts.
This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state.
The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin.
This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.
