Also lots of articles if you search "Florida book ban" or smth similar online. I'm just shocked I've not seen much about this, maybe people don't know it's happening??

If you're not completely plugged in Ron DeSantis, the governor doing this, is the republican front runner for president next year.

This is bad. Really bad.

But I bet the school aged kids this law affects are suddenly really interested in books, especially the books Republicans don't want them to read.

This is happening in some districts in Texas, too. I’m a high school English teacher and it’s not illegal to provide those books where I am, but you could risk losing your job. I currently have butcher paper (the really big colored paper that comes on rolls) over my classroom library.

In order for students to read books from the school libraries, they must have parent approval and the books must be vetted by a committee of both parents and teachers. There is also a setting that notifies parents of every book they check out, if they request it. If students are found to be reading books that their parents didn’t approve, and they were given access to those books by teachers or librarians, those educators can be in big trouble.

We also have an online portal for parents to file a complaint about any book and have it pulled from all libraries across the district until it is reviewed by a new committee. As you can guess, most of the books they’re filing complaints about have to do with sexuality and gender— Even though in my district they don’t explicitly say that’s what they’re banning, they just lump it all under a sort of vague description of being “vulgar.” (Which also means they’re banning some books just for things like strong language, which is an added, ridiculous bonus. An individual parent should not be able to decide what is acceptable for every family across the district.)

I posted this on Facebook and a lot of like my parents middle aged friends commented saying shit like “I’m TRYING” so wholesome

ppl make fun of creepypasta titles being too descriptive like “I went hiking with my class, it didnt end well” or “something’s living in my grandma’s basement” or “I’m never taking a job on craigslist again” but for someone with zero attention span, descriptive titles like that are a hell of a lot more eye catching and attention grabbing than some poetic one or two word title that doesnt even hint at what the story is about

creepypasta title: red curtains

me: what does that even mean, Im so bored *immediately scrolls past*

creepypasta title: every house on my block got a new antenna last night

me, immediately riveted, needs to know what happened or else I will die: oh my god who put them there what are they doing where did they come from wh

DOES THIS NOT STRIKE INSTANT CURIOSITY INTO YOUR HEART

Anti wolf heck collar

“The purpose of the collar is to protect the dog wearing it when it has to fight the wolves. The collar base protects the dog’s throat and carotid arteries, while the spikes are intended to deter bites to the neck or even injure wolves trying to do so.”

“And what do you get from serving humans that you do not get from running free?” sneered the wolf.

“Free food, unconditional love and tactical upgrades,” replied the herding dog.

I see your anti-wolf dogs and raise you Spanish War Dogs.
