During the current extraordinary surge of book-banning efforts, committed advocacy by library workers & their allies is stemming the tide of censorship attempts in both school & public libraries, with more & more states enacting anti-book-ban laws. americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2025/06/02/b...

Yeah, a good thing the author got justice but I can only assume no lessons were learned by the school's principal.

A surprisingly good article in the US Guardian about hypernormalisation. “We are in a period now when it’s absolutely essential to protest…”

theguardian.com

Systems are crumbling - but daily life continues. The dissonance is real

If everything feels broken but strangely normal, the Soviet-era concept of hypernormalization can help

Taking a break from screaming about book bans to do *checks notes* self promotion? The Siren the Song and The Spy is out in audio today, w a quintet of narrators! It's the sequel to The Mermaid the Witch and the Sea, & I fear it is more relevant now than when I wrote it. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

Cleansed. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Three frames. A map of Gaza in each, showing damage in red from bombardments. A hand with suit sleeve holding a sponge, across the three frames, progressively wipes the map, which by the third frame is “clean” - but the sponge held in the hand is dripping red. Quote at bottom of frame: “Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Monday that cabinet ministers had decided on a ‘powerful operation in Gaza’ including ‘a movement of the population to protect it’.’”

All this. You have to ask *why are they selling it so hard*? What is up with all the propaganda around AI? The reason is not because it is the inevitable shape of the future; the reason is because it sucks, it's failed to achieve widespread utility, but they need to recoup billions in investments.

between the tariffs and genAI it makes any art that crosses your path, indie or mainstream, a hard-fought miracle. really appreciate the creativity you see because artists of all stripes are really working against an avalanche intent on burying us

I didn't know the winning Canadian party was centre right and about the minor progressive party collapse :/. I'm so relieved the LNP lost and Dutton is out. But Greens haven't done well and lots to criticise about Labor...

Blue Jaryn @bluejaryn.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

The Trump-loving, climate change denying, racist, homophobic, transphobic, right wing LNP lost!! Badly! I'm so relieved I can't even put it into words.

I liked it! The nerdy science aspects are definitely my thing. Plus cool illustrations. I hope you don't mind some constructive feedback, I did feel there were too many cuts/camera changes, but other than that very cool and unique too. I look forward to the next one!

One good thing about Instagram against many bad things is its showing me many reels with Pedro Pascal. Being an outspoken trans ally makes someone 30% hotter. It's a fact.
