Fatphobia is rampant.

A fat person, doing nothing, not a damn thing, literally just existing and enjoying life. And angry person appears “they’re endorsing obesity!”

I know it’s a good MG book when I’m tempted to put my head in my hands and groan, “oh honeeyyyy” every other page

Me, an autistic: Here are your footnotes, mid-conversation. Here is your citation you didn’t ask for. Here is the backstory. Here is the dramatis personae. Here is the novella about this one little detail that will make this tangent relevant. Missing: a short summary.

I think the best book to give a young reader is the book you think *they* are going to genuinely like. With fiction, I firmly believe focusing on reading great books is less important than becoming a person who thinks of reading as pleasurable.

Hard fucking same. The way that people talk about homeless people--like pests to be eradicated, or like threats to housed people--sends me into a rage. Treat people like people, you absolute gremlins.

Library patron: “this place is full of deplorables” (read: human beings in rough situations using one of the few places they can go for a/c in 100+ weather) “so I’ll go somewhere else” Me: okay! Sounds good! 😁

Something about Spotify popping the vaguely unsettling Saja Boys Soda Pop song onto an “energetic happy mix” is so on the nose I can’t even stand it

If you don’t want your kids to leave the religion you raised them in, don’t raise them in a sucky religion that only takes hold if they never learn anything new. You don’t have a right for your kids not to question you.

The most popular thing I ever said on Tumblr was this: Fanfic is the triumph of character-based relationship building over the need for clever plot or pretty cinematography. It says “I don’t care what they do; I care about what they feel, and how that makes me feel.”

They literally could have asked a librarian for book recs. It’s our job and we love it. Actually I have to be forcibly restrained from giving book recs. WTF

You don't turn into a whole new person when you turn thirty. You're still all the people you were before. You don't have to give up fanfic or sell your toy collection or whatever else you think will make you more "adult." Time makes you adult. You need to make you happy.

It's always easy to quibble with award choices or even categories (poetry, I tells ya!!!!!), but I always tend to look at the ALA winners as a moment in time. A different committee on a different day probably picks different books, ya know? (Unless they pick mine. That doesn't change!) #kidlitchat

"the funniest and warmest book about a school shooting survivor I've ever read" <---what I tell everyone just to see the look on their face. But it really is. #kidlitchat

Libraries and maybe also teachers have been doing Mock Caldecotts and Mock Newbery programs for awhile now. Never done one myself but it might be fun #kidlitchat

That book slipped under my radar until I read it a couple of weeks ago. I've been telling everybody about it ever since #kidlitchat

Once the livestream was being aired during work hours for me and I watched it at my desk. My co-worker told me after that he was surprised I didn't dress in costume for it! #kidlitchat

There are archived lists on the ALAYMA website. I teach a segment on RA for new librarians in my system and I will point people to that as a way of saying "know what these awards are, read a few" #kidlitchat

Mosylu @mosylu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

and winners are almost certain to get bought in e-format which isn't always a given generally (ask me about ebook prices for libraries hisssss) #kidlitchat

Mosylu @mosylu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

In the public library sphere, the big awards give their winners a sizeable bump in hold lists. The smaller ones and honors not so much, but some #kidlitchat

Mosylu @mosylu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

on the other other hand I've been following these awards for close to 20 years and I feel like there's been a shift in what gets recognized. Might be part of a larger shift in what's getting published too, such as more GNs, more diverse voices, etc #kidlitchat

Mosylu @mosylu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

That said i'm in public libraries so I definitely have the adults coming to me, school librarians probs have a different experience #kidlitchat

Mosylu @mosylu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

But I also think parents/grandparents see the award sticker and think it's a promise that their personal kid will *like* the book. Which is a totally different thing than the quality of writing or illustration! Or even that said kid *should* like the book because it's a Good Book

Mosylu @mosylu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

As a librarian, I have a slightly fraught relationship with these awards. I'm so happy for the winners and their recognition. I got a great big smile upon seeing Erin Entrada Kelly's win this year!

Wow, hi new followers, hey! We’re Queer Liberation Library. QLL is a digital library of queer ebooks & audiobooks available FOR FREE to anyone in the US. Our collection’s in Libby so you can read to your heart's content on your e-reader, phone, etc. membership details downthread~

A scrapbooky, zine-like image. In the top left corner there’s a picture of a young kid in rainbow face paint waving a rainbow flag atop a woman's shoulders, as they both watch a pride parade. A photo of a group of people, young and old, carrying a pink LESBIAN & GAY PRIDE banner is seen in the bottom center. Top right, a picture of two gorgeous drag queens: one in a light pink wig and white dress decked in butterflies, and the other literally dressed as Lady Liberty in a rainbow toga.

Text throughout, in mismatched fonts and on torn paper, reads "Q: So, what is QLL? a: Queer Liberation Library is an ONLINE DIGITAL LIBRARY …that is by and for the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies, focusing on queer materials and queer perspectives.”
