Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

We protect children by letting them play safely & maintaining that community boundary around them. Whether it is a literal fence around a school playground or a boundary made up of clear social norms & mores that is discursively maintained, this is the adult’s job in a healthy society. 5/5

Snatching teens from the social-emotional playground to make them your personal plaything in the adult world is as abhorrent as snatching a younger child from a literal playground, & it’s time we fully acknowledged that fact. 4/5

A lot of ppl seem to struggle w the idea that we need to allow teenagers space to take risks & make mistakes while also protecting them, but it is possible & it is our job as the adults. 3/5

as they play at adulthood with *one another,* not to jump in & join them on the social-emotional playground, not to yank them out & force them into the adult world, but to ensure that they can play & experiment & practice w one another (as they are wired to do) SAFELY. 2/5
