So I've been a very big "no banned books" advocate BUT I learned that in Australia some guy wrote a book about Australia natives and it was so full of shit and misinformation that its banned now and I agree with that one. So how do we pick and choose morally?? I'm confused for myself
If you are an author, a publisher, or a “literary agent” and you are FOR banning books, may I humbly suggest you FIND A NEW JOB? 🙃

I have officially shown my siblings Matilda and Grease, and next is HairSpray. Anything else that 7-13 year Olds need to see before deciding that Moana is the best musical ever made.

this is one of my favorite custom feeds, Quiet Posters
it shows you posts from people you follow who don't post that much! so it surfaces friends' posts that might otherwise get drowned out in the Following feed (which is reverse chronological) 🤗

I was raised in a conservative household. It was a controversial speech writing assignment that helped me break from the bubble I grew up in. The smart girls I respected wrote pro-choice arguments. While the dumbest ones did pro-life arguments. It was seriously eye opening.

Did your parents control what you read as a child/teen? Mine did not, and my life was not ruined. I grew up to be an academic librarian.
