The funniest thing to me - a British person educated in Britain - about the Odyssey nonsense apparently erupting over on Twitter, is that when I needed a classic story to include in my most recent book, I went with the Odyssey because "Everyone knows it."

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!
Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

Why a Wolf-Finder?
Witch hunts make sense The kind of sense, admittedly, that starts from people being generally awful, then passes through several layers of spite, xenophobia, human greed and othering before it ends up...

Eldest Daughter just clapped her hand to her brow in an expression of tragedy.
But things were apparently *so very tragic* that she felt the need to use both hands.
She ended up with woeful bunny-ears.
