I can’t think of a better time than #BannedBooksWeek to share this announcement . What started as a poem about LGBTQIA+ book bans back in 2023, will now be a picture book illustrated by Evan Turk! So grateful to @agentstefanie.bsky.social and Millie Von Platen for believing in this book!

The nine picture books cited in Mahmoud v. Taylor are not pornography. Nor are they obscene. "What is obscene is a Supreme Court decision that denies the basic humanity and equality of LGBTQIA+ people."
The Ugly Stereotype Beneath the Supreme Court Ruling on LGBTQIA+ Books
The nine picture books cited in Mahmoud v. Taylor are not pornography. Nor are they obscene. What is obscene is a Supreme Court decision that denies the basic humanity and equality of LGBTQIA+ people.

I absolutely adore this book! And the author is pretty great too. ❤️ @sabrinashahauthor.bsky.social
MUSIC OF THE MOUNTAINS by @sabrinashahauthor.bsky.social & Manal Mirza is a lovely story about a young girl who wants to play the rabab as beautifully as her beloved grandfather does. A gorgeously written picture book with stunning, intricate illustrations! #kidlit #booksky

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.

Autism is not an "epidemic" because it's not a disease. Saying we don't know what "causes" it is absurd. It's genetic and, what's more, NORMAL FOR HUMAN BRAINS TO BE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER.
