We cannot allow the Epstein files narrative to just fade away. This reading room is brilliant and what they have done here ensures that. #BelieveTheSurvivors

Calling 94.7 of children’s literature ‘trash’ and a ‘byproduct’ is still massively disrespectful and harmful - simply because those books don’t conform to his version of what is good and worthy.

The post I linked explains how as his role as the US equivalent of the Children’s laureate, his words carry great weight. Alongside the background of book bans, censorship and shrinking budgets, it is a very unsupportive and untrue thing to say, based on his own snobbery of what he considers ‘good’.

Who knows if they knew about him before or not - I think the point is given the current state of books & the position he holds, it was an extremely irresponsible thing to say. This is a really good balanced take, if you’re interested :) bsky.app/profile/book...

I believe you! I’m just saying that just because you personally haven’t heard of him, doesn’t mean the rest of the UK also hasn’t heard of him and is complaining about someone they don’t know.

This is indeed a great read below. To add to this - Mac Barnett is speaking from a position of extreme privilege. Yes ideally less books would be published so the market is less saturated, but the rest of us need to be paid more then. Overall, a very callous and harmful thing for him to say.

People who lament that “music was just better in the 70s/80s/90s” are partially correct in that working class kids could go on the dole for a couple years and explore their creativity without it ruining their life. Most bands now come from the kind of money you’ve only ever heard of

I don’t “network,” I make friends. Other artists are not my competition, they’re my beloved peers and sources of inspiration. We all have the same goal; to share our art. I’m not gonna corporatize my human relationships with them. I am in my sandbox playing and I hope they join me.
