How to be an informed, pro-library, anti-book ban voter in upcoming fall elections (if you have them) and well into the future.

Don't just celebrate banned books. Don't just read banned books. VOTE to support the democratic institutions creating access to them.

The Modern Fortune Teller's Field Guide by Tom Benjamin, a progressive look at an ancient art by a wonderful witchy gent! YES! 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.
