I haven’t seen much over here on the blue skies but if you search the hashtag on IG (and check your email newsletters) there are authors putting up quite a few free ebooks as a “fuck censorship” gesture today!

Also happening tomorrow is #freethebooks2025 where a bunch of spicy romance authors on KU are setting their book for free because fuck censorship. You’ll probably find the most options by searching the hashtag on instagram.

Is it any surprise that the US Naval Academy library purged our books about race, like @alwaystheself.bsky.social’s HOW TO BE LESS STUPID ABOUT RACE? Nope. They also purged Leslie Feinberg’s TRANSGENDER WARRIORS. #FreeTheBooks
Here's the list of books the Naval Academy removed from its library during DEI purge
Included in the purge is “How to be Anti-Racist" by Ibram X. Kendi, as well as “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" by American writer and poet Maya Angelou.

September is National Library Card Sign Up Month *and* Suicide Prevention Month which is a great reminder that the right book can make someone feel less alone. Let’s not limit those choices.

Censorship thrives when we comply in advance. The fight for the freedom to read starts NOW.
Read this powerful article on how anticipatory obedience and the limitation effect threaten intellectual freedom—and what we can do to resist.

Book banners seek to rid publishing completely of diverse voices, but their efforts are having the opposite effect.

Book bans don’t protect us! They erase voices! ✍️

Special bonus vid this week.
Book bans are out of control. They're expanding beyond merely banning the classics. Now, EVERYTHING is at risk.

Dear Cumberland City Council of Western Sydney #Australia, if you could dick off with your small-minded regressive bigoted book-banning of children's books with same-sex parents in it, that would be just DANDY.

It's disheartening to see book bans based on misconceptions! 📚✨ Every story has value and deserves to be shared. Let's celebrate diverse narratives! #FreeTheBooks #SFFLove 💖
Pretty pretty sure that all romance novels and half of SFF novels would count under their definitions. These are people who are banning books that show cartoons of children taking baths.

Today I'm celebrating #NationalLibraryWeek and our freedom to write and read what we want. @americanlibrary.bsky.social and @uabookbans.bsky.social are shining a light on the many attempts to steal those fundamental rights. #RightToRead #FreeTheBooks #lovemylibrary

--Attend a school or library board meeting. Speak out about banned books.
--Tell the world how a book changed your life with a letter to your local newspaper, a postcard to the author (you can address it to them in care of the publisher), a post on social media with the #FreeTheBooks. 2/4

Free ebook alert. Fight back against censorship by downloading free spicy books! My books aren't free on Amazon because they never got back to me about price matching, but you can get them free on Apple, Kobo, And more! (My final slides shows all the places my books are available outside Amazon)
