as I try to increase posting book recs, I’ve become a @bookshop.org affiliate!
I’ve set it up now to just have a list of every rec I make, but once that list grows I’ll probably genre-fy them.
check it out if I ever post a book you want!

fellow late millennials: I hate to break it to you, but if you ever had that ringtone in middle/high school that was “so high pitched your teacher can’t hear it,” they absolutely could hear it

BULLYING WORKS
San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.
Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

literally what most youth and teen library workers are doing but we get knocked down by our adult counterparts and then lose half our funding lmao
If only there was as much effort put into improving youth services, making sports, arts and crafts available and affordable, and making the physical environment more 'teen-friendly' as there is for banning kids from social media or taking their phones away.
