I just had to find out what Moms for Liberty was. My life is a little worse for it, but at least their naming conventions have changed 0 since One Million Moms.

Anyone who is promoting literacy (celebrity or otherwise) should be venerated. Reading core to development of a society, also new ideas make way for new ways of understanding. New understandings I think leads to more empathy which is rad.

Also tran kiddos need as much escapism they can get. Trans teens to be reading for real.

But you don’t have to take my word for it, {cut to supercut of transphobes being beat up}

I don't understand the Drew Barrymore bit. What's the context?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I think she was supposed to host but then got booted after she tried to cross the picket line by continuing her ~~podcast~~ talk show (thx @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

yeah basically. talk show, not podcast, but everyone was pissed about it especially because it happened like a week before the strike ended

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

I'm not going to suggest that he's not a trans ally, because I would really love him to be. But I suspect it's more about it being an anti-book group.

In their case they're basically the same thing, 90% of their brainworms are dedicated to treating any book that's pro-LGBT as if it was porn.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

i mean, they're anti-book because they're anti-trans. even if it's for a different reason i'm glad he's willing to fight them

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Maybe we’re taking the same bus route to a different location. Sometimes that’s okay.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Good point πŸ€” though most the books they ban mention LGBT people

"Take a look, it's LeVar's left hook. Reading Rainboooow" Seriously though, I love this man. LeVar Burton is a national treasure

Friends and allies I need your help. I have access to lib gen and want to read but how do i remain focus and not just drift off. Any tips or books (shut up!) anyone can recommend. I want to be better!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

honestly i feel like i dont fall asleep as much reading physical books. maybe its the act of holding it and turning the pages or something, but reading books on screens makes me sleepy
