I block sales pitches and the slightest hint of intolerance.
If Paddington had been there, they would have all lived and an nice old lady called Mrs Patel would ended up with the diamonds to help her feed her cat.

Orbital got the press for poetic space books, and is great. But your treatment dwarfs it in terms of depth and variety.

It honestly deserves one.

Imagine having that budget, that cast size and thinking - lets make the sort of thing people can watch as they play Candy Crush.

I hoped The Long Walk and The Monkey had put pay to this sort of guff.

Cool looking zine. Well done.

That's the dream.

No idea. Sorry.

Arbutus and Towson are both decent.

YA came in around 91, because most literate teens were shunning the teen sections.

I read a bunch, S E Hinton, Lois Duncan and some others. It was mostly decent. Top pick would be Janni Howker's Nature of the Beast.

It's weird that you know a lot of kids.

You don't know many kids, do you? I teach around 200 year. If you can use Discord, Roblox, or any console you can turn on VPN in Firefox or Edge. It's less steps than logging into a school lunch account.

Mildly harder to watch, and massively harder to regulate content.

Dude, they're rigging the face recognition by showing it game characters. They don't have to be savvy, they have to be able to use Google, Firefox or Edge. I do think it will beef up their tech skills a little but it absolutely will not stop them getting porn.

It's a slippery slope.
