Award-Winning THE LIBRARIANS Documentary Sets Widespread Release The award-winning documentary THE LIBRARIANS, which explores contemporary book bans and attacks on librarians, to release nationwide.

β€œIt’s a moving and heart-rendering film. Not only is the climate around literature for young people in the library handled well, viewers get an inside look at the personal toll the last several years have had on the lives of the film’s subjects.”

Meanwhile, teachers are being forced to hang the Ten Commandments in their classrooms in violation of the First Amendment and legislators are banning books about people of color, immigrants, and LGBTQ people.

They're making it VERY clear that not everyone is welcome here.

I am an elementary school librarian. I haven’t gotten COVID - and I test for any slight symptom whatsoever, so I don’t think it’s just that I had it and didn’t know. The only possible reason I’ve worked with 600 kids and not gotten COVID is my mask.

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. β˜ΊοΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ’–
