They didn’t do this for $68, they did it for the art

@alxcharlesdukes @JoePostingg There's a really good 99% Invisible episode that basically gets into why this is a bad idea while still bringing a lot of empathy and nuance to the conversation. Highly recommend.

@ShinySnails Ursula Le Guin's Lavinia is one of the only myth retellings that deserves rights

@Socawkbutterfly @MariaPotterNut @JennyENicholson It left a bad taste in people's mouths because TGC had an incredibly diverse cast who all lost their jobs (at least sooner than they otherwise would have) because of this controversy. The optics of the casting change were bad, but Cynthia's ire for the show was misplaced.

[Carrie @wyndlespindle]

@Socawkbutterfly @MariaPotterNut @JennyENicholson Cynthia Erivo comes into this because she was at the forefront of a massive backlash to this decision, claiming TGC was racist because they were replacing a black actor with a white one. Mandy Patinkin backed out because of the controversy, and the show closed shortly afterward.

@knucklesjak @dieworkwear If you get into Scottish Country Dancing you can get lots of use out of these (this is only half joking. It's really fun!)

@buttholemuseum @focusfronting I still think about their pan-fried pork dumplings on a regular basis

This tweet makes it sound like there has been a nefarious plot to murder all the youth services and school librarians.

Children not reading is not about funny books or serious books it’s about finding the right book. Different children love different stuff. What we’ve lost is knowledgeable people helping children find the right book. Knowing them as readers and knowing the books.

@alysbun It's so funny to call out people who think being gay absolves them of wrongdoing while simultaneously saying that being a bad person means you're not really actually gay.

@drclairetaylor I'm 26, and most of my friends of a similar age own and use electric kettles, and most of my workplaces have had them as well, but I think their popularity varies widely across demographics. They're certainly not universal.

@NOTANIDLETHREAT @damnitmadeline Corey Tabor writes some really great early readers with cross-age appeal (Sir Ladybug is excellent). I also like LaRochelle quite a bit.

How many times can you watch Pride & Prejudice (1995) before it becomes a cry for help?

@jpohhhh @clapifyoulikeme The Dr. Seuss slander is the real crime.

actual feminism

But also my library doesn't even have this book shelved in YA, it's in the adult general fiction section (not even the adult sci-fi/fantasy section, which is...a choice), so maybe T. Kingfisher was right about librarians.

[Carrie @wyndlespindle]

Having now finished A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, I would like to state for the record that I, a youth services librarian, loved this book and can think of many children who would be down for skeleton horses and a carnivorous sourdough starter named Bob.

This is honestly way less dark than anything Lemony Snicket has put out, and kids still love A Series of Unfortunate Events, so I'm not sure why so many publishers struggled to see the market. I get asked for horror recs by 10 year olds at the library literally constantly.
