While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

56 small tasks to be proactive against book censorship in 2025.

Not on this list: buy the books. That's an act of capitalism (we want answers to be this because that's our training).

Buy the books if you want, but that's not activism nor advocacy.

These things are.

'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' by Wham was released nearer to the end of the Second World War than to today. Happy New Year everyone!

commenting on something happening in some corners of tiktok right now but this is a general observation: it is absolutely brain-breaking how so many people have lost the ability to disagree with someone without denouncing them as ontologically evil or pathological or whatever else

i get why people are fighting book bans with “don’t interfere with what i let my child read” and “i demand books for my child that reflect *our* family values too,” but it’s also about preserving some degree of autonomy *for the child*. The library should give a child an out *from* their family. 📚

Personally think it should be a LEGAL requirement to add closed captions / Subtitles to any movie, tv show / video game.

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
