Extremely excellent graphic advertising my book F*cked Up Fairy Tales with a pull quote from James Fucking Lapine: "These are not your mama's bedtime stories."

Vagabond, Tim Curry's memoir, hot damn this is gonna be a good one!

MY BOOK, F*cked Up Fairy Tales by Liz Gotauco, a bawdy, funny retelling of some of the weirdest, dirtiest, most questionable fairy tales for grownups that time forgot!

It’s Banned Books Week, and I don’t need you to buy my book as a solve for it (but buy it if you want to! That’s still extremely cool of you)—I need you to show up for your public libraries and your schools!

Miller’s attempt to deem The Left terrorism was obviously where this was going and why, in addition to it being intellectually and morally correct, it was important to resist efforts to classify pro-Palestinian groups as such. You reject the politicization of “terrorism” or you accept it for all.

Schools, libraries, and local parent advocates need to have some kind of plan to protect our neighbors kids. These fuckers are banning books about brown people under the guise of "protect our children" while illegally manipulating and incarcerating brown children.

My kingdom for a massive tax strike.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.

The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.

And they get another vacation

You can even go harder and point blank say "So you don't care about the government stealing *your* First Amendment rights?"

Florida Freedom to Read Project @flfreedomread.bsky.social · 5d

Reporters, here’s the assignment:

Next time an elected or appointed official responds with, “it’s not banned because you can still buy it,” the mandatory followup question is, “Do you believe Americans have a First Amendment right to access and share speech in our publicly-funded libraries?”

Florida Freedom to Read Project @flfreedomread.bsky.social · 5d

In order for Judge Winsor to get to the conclusion that access elsewhere was an acceptable solution for a school to remove a book based on viewpoint, he had to deny patrons and authors their First Amendment rights in the library.

Let that sink in.

Perfect Templeton by Buschemi, lackluster Charlotte by Roberts, and I just love Wilbur voiced by a kid (that mighta been too cute for White). No one can beat Moorehead Goose tho.

Liz Gotauco (Preorder F*cked Up Fairy Tales!) @cosbrarian.bsky.social · 5d

I think a 1973 Charlotte's Web script (sans songs) with the 2006 visuals would have been a version White might have liked.
