Couple things I want to focus on this year-debuts and backlists. I may have to create or look for a backlist bingo-if anyone finds one tag me! #bookstagram #readmoredebuts #2023debut #teacherswhoread https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm43zEIrui_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Time to journal in the new year. Happy New Years everyone! #happynewyears #bookstagram #journallife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4IBVTrcZw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
A memoir told in essays that read like letters and journal entries: heartfelt, traumatic, true. It might not have been the best time for me to read about someone else’s trauma, but I’m glad I did. I’ll also be thinking about the ways in which self-esteem is identity capitalism for a long, long time. |Completed 2022.11.30
Tonight I gave Art Spiegelman the National Book Awards Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. And we're both being banned. Some of you may think this is a good thing because you don't like my books or you don't care for Maus. But I guarantee that there are books you love on the banned lists too. That's why libraries and librarians fight for their rights to have all the books on the shelves and for your rights to read them. And it's why I support them.
Just reblogging because none of the threats to books and libraries have gone away. Mostly they've got worse. If you are capable of joining your Library Board or School Board do it...
And if you personally are unable to join your local Library Board or School Board, find the people who ARE running for those positions who support your values and SUPPORT them!!! It’s usually an elected position, and the pro-censorship crowd is pouring COUNTLESS resources into putting their people in power. It’s so important to get involved in your community, because that’s where change starts.
And if you think you're in a "blue enough area" think again.
I desperately encourage you to look at who is actually running, and also historical election data. For example, one of our school board positions was nearly filled by someone who was anti-mask, pro-censorship and was beaten out by less than 1k votes.
Look at the stuff these people say on social media. Some of my local candidates for various offices -- officially sponsored by the local republican party -- have expressed a desire to destroy public education and public libraries. Literally. Like the exact words were "get rid of libraries, they're liberal brainwashing facilities".
Don't have kids? DOESN'T MATTER. These systems support the ENTIRE COMMUNITY. The next generation will be who takes over in the positions that maintain your electrical grid, keep your water running, oversee supply chain in your local companies so things keep running. You want people who are educated. You want people to have equal access to food and shelter and dignity.
The more of a gap you have, the more space there is to be filled by hateful rhetoric that leads to violence -- yes, violence, in your backyard.
"That can't happen here" -- our area just recently faced sabotage to power substations LESS THAN FIVE MILES FROM MY HOUSE. Right down the road. During a cold snap that could've KILLED people and they know it. It can happen "here", and it will if people don't take an active stand in their communities.
