my library's policy.
Librarians like to say that book bans interfere with parents' direction of their children's reading. But also, by letting minors be patrons, librarians do not collude with parents' control over their children's reading.
The freedom to read is radically democratic. 📚

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

A reminder that writing books is hard, and if you find it difficult, it’s not because you’re bad at it, it’s because it’s hard.

Guys, buying from small publishers and indie bookshops, instead of Amazon is the best way to support publishers, booksellers and authors and to keep small presses alive 👇
Please buy, too, from my lovely publisher @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social

Update: we have sold a total of eight books this month. "The books go to their readers, one by one, quickly, slowly, halfway around the world or halfway across the city. There is no supply chain, only the postal network, irregular events, direct sales to bookshops, and local distribution."
It may well be the case that small, independent presses are the lifeblood of literature, and a vital feature of our cultural landscape, providing an essential service in a complex ecosystem, like wrasses or shrimps. What is undeniably the case is that we have sold a total of five books this month.

Not sure what’s worse: the “Quiet, piggy” itself, or the media’s tepid shrug at it. What a tawdry and disappointing time we live in. We deserve so much better than this.

Copyediting FAQ
Q. Should the word “too” at the end of a sentence be preceded by a comma, or no?
A. Whichever way you choose to go, the other way will immediately seem better.
