Many people are unaware that book banning has escalated to the point that librarians and educators could be targeted for prosecution if they distribute “offensive” materials. Read on to learn more... buff.ly/sLEKgwr #library #libraries #read #reading #book #books #librarianship #lit

New Laws Make Banned Books a Crime

Are new obscenity laws crossing a line? Teachers and librarians could face jail time for providing access to banned books.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

THE DIVINING HEART (2005)  Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 24"   "Stepping stones" of ammonite fossils represent the lessons of history and are the only havens of safety for the figure in the foreground. #art

A dark haired beauty stands on a spiral fossil that rises barely above the surface of shallow water. A path of these ammonite stepping stone meanders out across placid water past a natural breakwater of rocks but doesn't quite reach the horizon. She doesn't appear to notice the path forward; she's stopped to admire a red glass heart that dangles from a cord. Her eyes aren't fixed on it though as her thoughts retreat inward. The pure white cloth draping her body spills down to reveal the bare skin of her back.

The "social contagion" thing drives me screaming angry. When I was young I had no clue trans ppl existed. I'd never met anyone trans. I saw cruel caricatures in pop culture occasionally. When I realized trans was a thing someone could be, it hit like a lightning bolt. My life felt newly possible.

So much I love here (busy nuns! soapwort marginalia! medieval people kept clean!), but the plant was called "saponaria" not "saponifera". Soapwort was used for washing, but real soap was made in many medieval homes, and imported in large quantities and many varieties.

AITA for correcting my girlfriend's family every time they mispronounce my turtle's name?
I have a turtle named Geoff. Yes I know Geoff is normally pronounced Jeff. His isnt. My girlfriend's family knows this and still calls him Jeff basically every time his name comes up.
His name starts with /dz/ instead of the normal American English J sound /d3/. So regular Geoff/Jeff is roughly /dzef/ and his is /dzef/. They are similar but they are NOT the same consonant. /d3/ is a voiced postalveolar affricate and /dz/ is a voiced retroflex affricate. Basically you make the beginning of "Jeff" with the tongue farther back/retracted, which gives it a harder, deeper "dzh" sound.
I'm really into etymology and historical linguistics so the spelling was intentional too. Geoff is already a weird spelling from a modern English perspective because gives you basically no reason to predict /dzef/ unless you already know the name. Obviously I am NOT claiming medieval Geoffrey was pronounced / dzef/. I

The She-Wolf's Whelp [ #oc | #ocsky ]

A collaged portrait of an aggrieved, masculine figure in a decorated gorget and fur piece. He's looking up and off into the distance. Behind him is a red, eight pointed star, and the silhouette of an armored arm spearing a wolf head and a heart upon a sword. A banner beside him reads, "When the hour didst so beg for blood, 'twas thee who turned covetous of thy poorly intimacy./Ruinous caitiff, may the Mother, risen before ye, bless thee first and furiously."

My blurb: unfolds the era of Alexander the Great's conquering rampage across Eurasia with a graceful, fiery verisimilitude both intimate & mythic, starting from the Indian subcontinent and stretching all the way to ancient Babylon--it resounds in time, and sings to the present with a singular voice.
