The Boooook Shepherd 👻 @thebookshepherd.bsky.social · 8hHaha no but we did explain the local legend to the kids. My father said the only death associated with the build was a worker who died on a break at home in another town so the basis of the myth is apparently suspect! 110

The Boooook Shepherd 👻 @thebookshepherd.bsky.social · 20hI cannot even begin to explain to you how scary the idea of normalizing public executions again is to me. It’s a test, a line in the sand, in the service of more evil to come. 1233

There are no "boy books" or "girl books." Kids don't give a shit, and neither should adults. 614536

The Boooook Shepherd 👻 @thebookshepherd.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Happy Thanksgiving friends. I am grateful for my own literacy, for more books than I can ever read in a life time, and a morality that doesn’t allow me to knowingly engage with whatever nonsense is being churned out by AI stans. 0141

The Boooook Shepherd 👻 @thebookshepherd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Absolutely. It’s so often a problem we talk about in the past tense but like all authoritarian things it is happening now. And needs to be taken seriously. 110
Reposted by The Boooook Shepherd 👻Joshua Keep @jekeep.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It would be really great if we could put an emphasis on supporting living authors being banned too. So much of the attention seems to go to deceased authors who can in no way benefit. While others face intense scrutiny and hardship TODAY. 142
The Boooook Shepherd 👻 @thebookshepherd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We often think about books that were banned in the past and shake our heads at how silly it is, but books are being banned today (see Alberta) and it is more scary than silly that anyone with that viewpoint is being taken seriously enough to make it happen. Match that energy! 171
The Boooook Shepherd 👻 @thebookshepherd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In my 15 years as a selections librarian the majority of books I’ve seen people ban are about queer and Black characters, or about experiences that represent a non white non straight perspective. So do with that what you will. 181
The Boooook Shepherd 👻 @thebookshepherd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026For Banned Books Week let’s remember to keep up the energy all year long, because books that are banned are so often ones that represent experiences that are ones the people banning them don’t want you to know exist. 1174
