Out today: SB 13 neutered librarians’ authority over their collections. I no longer determine what goes into my collection. I make recommendations, and a council of parents called a School Library Advisory Council (SLAC) decides whether or not to recommend approval.
“We’ve got a little hiccup with some of the Hispanic and Latino voters for certain, because some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous,” Mr. Johnson said in an interview

A complete misunderstanding of... Narrative. He thought he was being edgy by upending expectations instead of realizing that narratives are satisfying because they fulfill a promise they've made. Just. A total artistic shitting the bed.
I could talk about how much I hate that decision until I die. I truly believe that Thomas thinks women are only interesting if they're miserable.
One of my favorite lessons from Jewish tradition is the idea that every life is a universe.
I can't imagine a state which claims to operate on behalf of the Jewish people thinking it's legitimate to kill dozens of innocent people just to find the remains of others. A shanda beyond comprehension.
