@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon @brouhaha who among us, etc.

Unfortunately we ARE going back to this, in Alberta.The whole point of book banning is to reduce exposure to diversity, especially to the most easily influenced. Who do you think benefits from that? Exposure to diverse views and experiences allows children to develop empathy, shielding them from control through reactionary hate speech, divisive politics, and disinformation.#abpoli #cdnpoli #books #censorship #Hate #HateSpeech #diversity #dei #inclusion

Apparently, I was in a particular mood when I last perused used books. Crumbs arrived today. #Books #Cookies #OnMyShelves

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEKBelieving a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.#Books #BannedBooks #NationalLibraryWeek #AbortionRights #RapeCulture

…For decades, challenges to a given book came from a parent or another member of a local community. But in recent years, the #ALA has found, the trend shifted sharply to #government officials & such #conservative activists as #MomsForLiberty, who advocate “parental choice” [in reality, the group’s choice] in deciding what #schools & #libraries should make available. #libraries #books #BookBans #access #education #censorship #racism #misogyny #heterosexism #law #fascism #FarRight #Republicans

In honor of National Library Week, here are a few virtual library resources. These were some of the first resources I put together back when I started Underground Bookshelf.https://www.underground-bookshelf.com/resources/1202296_10-free-online-librarieshttps://www.underground-bookshelf.com/resources/1202386_7-free-online-librarieshttps://www.underground-bookshelf.com/resources/1207685_10-free-audiobook-libraries-just-for-youhttps://www.underground-bookshelf.com/resources/1209041_where-to-find-banned-ebooks#nationallibraryweek #books #reading

@floofpaldi Know your classics.

The travelling bookshelf shambles along, steady on its mission to deliver new worlds to those in need.Here's this month's freebie pattern!https://www.infinitybeardesigns.com/freebies?item=TakeABook,LeafABook@fiberarts #CrossStitch #Embroidery #Art #Books

Perfection has been described by critics as ‘a short, sly, scathing satire about dissatisfied millennials’ and ‘perhaps what will prove to be *the* Berlin novel of our time’. It’s entertaining, sharply observed, and perhaps most importantly for our inaugural pick, you can devour it in just a few days.We’d love it if you read along with us! And once you’ve finished it, tell us what you thought of it. We’ll be discussing some of your talking points in the book club podcast a month from now.

@sgharms don't buy books from Amazon. Their DRM is hard to remove. You can buy books from Kobo or other retailers like ebooks.com. Some don't use DRM but Adobe DRM can be removed. Once you have an epub book without DRM you can put it on any eReader with calibre. https://michaelharley.net/posts/2023/01/10/how-to-setup-calibre-to-remove-drm-from-ebooks-on-linux/
