Introducing a thought I have: Plastic Water Bottles.

A “Plastic Water Bottle” is what I call any problem that we see as super evil despite the fact that there is an extremely similar bigger problem (plastic soda bottles) that we never think about only because we’re simply more used to it.

nobody ever really got rid of anything...

Far be it from me to try to get in the heads of book banners, but the list of my books removed from schools makes absolutely no sense. Turtles is widely banned even though it's the least explicit of my novels (the main character is terrified of kissing), whereas TFIOS--where they DO IT--is not...

people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙

I’m happy to see a chronological timeline.

If you’re interested in fighting book bans, this is a great starter pack to follow!
