Loved this book. As soon as my daughter’s English is proficient enough, I’m giving it to her

I just found out that my first book 📗, LAB GIRL 🌱🌿🌳, was challenged by a parent and subsequently removed from the shelves of the library at Walworth High School in Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

So I decided to write a 🧵 on book 📚 #censorship 🚫 in American 🇺🇸 schools 🚸

These days I either borrow games at the ludothèque, wait for a discount or look for a second-hand copy. Indie games I like I try to support by buying them early

We don't always publish book reviews at #Constructions, but when we do, it's about a very special book: @alexwillich.bsky.social has taken a critical look at Thomas Hoffmann's #ConstructionGrammar textbook constructions.journals.hhu.de/article/view...
