Reminder that in the overwhelming majority of book ban cases, it's 1 person or a few ppl who get scores of books pulled. This has been the case across FL but also in TX, LA, and other states. The majority of ppl don't want book bans. They're being ignored. https://t.co/2r5xcUOaK8

Book banning comes to Indiana public library. A new review of all books to cost $300K, and has left teen shelves empty of books, incl Manga, Avengers graphic novels, Captain America comics, books about puberty and 'Forever' by Judy Blume. #FreeTheBooks https://t.co/aZWii28Rio

Two years into a surge of book bans across the U.S., Florida is now a hot spot in the clash over what reading material is appropriate for children, with laws that have greatly expanded the state’s ability to restrict books. https://t.co/pCOhxZ6X5R

— The New York Times (@nytimes) April 22, 2023

What’s happening isn’t exactly subtle: “Forbidden books are largely by and about people of color & LGBTQ individuals, PEN found. Of the 1,477 books removed this school year, 30% are about race, racism or include characters of color, and 26% have LGBTQ characters or themes” https://t.co/BdigFTb8EO

“This is much bigger than you can really count.”
Book bans are rising at a rapid pace in school districts around the U.S., driven by new laws and regulations that limit what kinds of books children can access, PEN America, a free speech organization, found.https://t.co/GUNLYbVC0T

Long ass thread about why I'm NOT voting YES on the WGA SAV.

I've been poor my entire life. I moved to LA with no financial support system, ended up living in my car for two months, before finally landing an assistant job on a long-running show (CSI).

The studios need to respond to the crisis writers face. WGA members must demonstrate our willingness to fight for the contract writers need and deserve by supporting a strike authorization vote. 🧵 1/3
