«Do not loose the will to resist» ✊🏻 Some of the last words by murdered Russian opposition politician and blogger Alexei Navalny. In his brilliant, humorous and devastating autobiography «Patriot».

Susanne Kaluza @susannekaluza.bsky.social · Jan 5

Finished the 1st book of the year on x-mas holiday, and what a read!! Recommend Alexei Navalnys posthumous biography «Patriot» to absolutely everyone. Such a page turner! A true crime (written by the victim himself) and deep insight into Russia, propaganda, Putin, dictatorships and true bravery 💙📚

Fin liten sak om boka vår i VG! Vi vet at stadig færre norske barn leser for glede, samtidig er mange barn interessert i sport. Derfor ville vi bruke idrett som inngang og ta barns nysgjerrighet om smått og stort om sport på alvor💪🏻⚽️🚣‍♀️👩‍🦽🎾 @birgitskarstein.bsky.social #boksky #barnebok

Birgit Skarstein debuterer som forfatter

Har funnet en ny karrierevei bare dager etter nyheten om at hun legger opp som idrettsutøver.

A blow to book banners! A federal judge has struck down key parts of an Arkansas law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing so-called “harmful” materials to minors. The law would have deputized librarians and booksellers as agents of censorship.

Yes!! «If you don’t like a book don’t read it». Simple as that! 💪🏼 Ironic that it is those who traditionally are most afraid of governement control over the individual who now want control over .. what individuals can read.

In Arendal, Norway, reactions from 1 parent made the principal tell the librarian to remove Maia Kobabes «GenderQueer» from the shelves.
It should be obvious but information is not harmful. No one is forced to read a book!

The librarian resisted and the book is now back on the shelves, for now.

Skeiv bok ble bedt fjernet fra skole: – Fikk kaffen i halsen

Arendal-rektor ba om fjerning av «Gender Queer» fra skolebiblioteket, etter kommunens anbefaling. Nå snur rektoren og bekager.

New Jersey is fighting back against book bans and just passed the «Freedom to Read Act”!

Most books in the risk of being banned deal with LGBTQ issues or race. “Students feel the pain when the books that describe their lived experience were called disgusting, obscene, and depraved.”

N.J. just struck a blow against banning books

It's called the "Freedom to Read Act."

“Now they have laws where if Palestinian citizens of Israel like a social media post from Gaza, they could be arrested. And there's more and more cases of this happening where there's a crackdown on free speech within the ‘48 territories.”

For years Christian Conservative forces have been attacking the abortion law in Norway. Today the Norwegian Parliament pushed forcefully back, liberalising key points of the law. Overjoyed to see that activism works! May this give hope to sisters around the world, still I fighting✊🏻

«Over the past two years, there have been over 200 bills in state legislatures proposing statewide book bans in school libraries or criminalized librarians for providing access to books that some people object to.»

This could be nation wide. Project2025 lays out how a national #bookban could work.

«Have you ever had a Halloween pumpkin? You hollow out the inside and then it gradually starts collapsing, Totalitarian regimes go like that. When the true believers aren’t there any more there are only bureaucrats sustaining the regime just to sustain it.»

«The person on who it is focused on, whether Mao or Stalin, will die, and then there will be a power struggle. This shakes the fate in the system.

If there is an uprising the question is: how brutally is that oppressed? And how many enemies do you make in that oppression?»

Margaret Atwood
