To employees, contractors, and freelancers of Mass Media: Until you are no longer afraid to call somebody who lies a Liar, until you stop spinning election polls to make a landslide look like a horse-race, until you stop saying settled Science like evolution or climate change is controversial, and until you stop saying the phrase "both sides" in any context, until then you don't get call yourselves journalists anymore, and you are not welcome on Mastodon as far as I'm concerned.

I'm re-reading piles of books. 83 of my fave childhood books are banned nationwide.
If you need a digital copy of a banned book, PM me. I will send you a copy.
I have a lifetime membership to the National Archives and the Library of Congress. Most Out of Print and Banned books are PDF form but can easily be converted for ereaders. Banning books is a form of bullying and you'll never get me to believe otherwise. Save digital copies to thumbdrives, phone memory, tablet memory, SDcards, flash drives. AND SHARE THEM.
To not be able to read a book because it upsets 2% of the world is a Travesty. Knowledge should never be withheld. ~ Lolly Inkpen
