Hey @elonmusk Why do you allow people to target ads with the keywords Jeffrey, Epstien (misspelled), but not Epstein? Why do you have that keyword blocked? What are we hiding here?

They've embued books with "powers" they do not have, and, by extension, their librarians with predatory attitudes towards children, per these mischaracterizations. It's complete disinformation meant to stoke fear, anger, confusion--and rage, that serves no one's best interests.

Utah has one of the strictest book banning laws in the nation. Gotta keep those kids in the dark on the realities of life, cause ignorance is their best plan. #utpol #uted theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

Ach, it's true. I just love everything about school #librarians. Childhood is short. The work school librarians do echoes through generations. A great school librarian is the best start you can give a child, IMHO #GreatSchoolLibraries

Schools losing good people due to book banning: “When Bates reflects on her recent career, she estimates she has dealt with some form of book banning or censorship every month for the last two years. 'It is not sustainable,' Bates said. 'I can’t do it.'” kuer.org/education/2023-07-0…

I had a small quote in this article but take no joy in this story. Utah is losing teachers and librarians to satisfy Utah Parents United, a tiny fringe political action committee, and it isn't okay.

Responding to a good-faith argument might work for some reasonable folks in the middle, but we need to be honest with ourselves about how many book challenges are done in good faith. 4/x

But it was one of the closing speakers that honestly got my hackles up, because while they had great advice for responding to good-faith arguments, that advice only does so much now. 3/x

Following up on Patrick’s talk, surprising no one, we are still absolute crap at selling our cause politically. We ceded the narrative over 10 years ago and it’s going to take a significant amount of work to get back all the time we spent back-patting and bed-shitting 2/x
