The Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl–an optional state-wide competition intended to get kids excited about reading–has banned 8 books from its teen competition this year.

Among the banned books? @samiraahmed.bsky.social's book about banned books.

What the hell is going on?

I do have arthritis but it feels vastly different from a fresh ligament tear

At 42, I am now apparently at the point where (in addition to being told to lose weight) every joint injury will be blamed on arthritis. Had to push for MRI and, what do you know, it's an MCL tear.

I am a klutz who has played sports for 30 yrs. I know what a muscle/tendon/ligament injury feels like

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

my semi regular reminder to all of us who love to cite Mr Roger’s “look for the helpers” in times of stress

like when folks are being abducted by secret police

that that was advice for children to feel safe in times of crisis or need or fear

YOU are not the looker now

YOU are the helper
