Finished the 1st book of the year on x-mas holiday, and what a read!! Recommend Alexei Navalnys posthumous biography «Patriot» to absolutely everyone. Such a page turner! A true crime (written by the victim himself) and deep insight into Russia, propaganda, Putin, dictatorships and true bravery 💙📚

Fin liten sak om boka vår i VG! Vi vet at stadig færre norske barn leser for glede, samtidig er mange barn interessert i sport. Derfor ville vi bruke idrett som inngang og ta barns nysgjerrighet om smått og stort om sport på alvor💪🏻⚽️🚣♀️👩🦽🎾 @birgitskarstein.bsky.social #boksky #barnebok

A blow to book banners! A federal judge has struck down key parts of an Arkansas law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing so-called “harmful” materials to minors. The law would have deputized librarians and booksellers as agents of censorship.

In Arendal, Norway, reactions from 1 parent made the principal tell the librarian to remove Maia Kobabes «GenderQueer» from the shelves.
It should be obvious but information is not harmful. No one is forced to read a book!
The librarian resisted and the book is now back on the shelves, for now.

New Jersey is fighting back against book bans and just passed the «Freedom to Read Act”!
Most books in the risk of being banned deal with LGBTQ issues or race. “Students feel the pain when the books that describe their lived experience were called disgusting, obscene, and depraved.”

Censorship will begin - in the name of "anti-censorship"
Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats
“I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me.
