Quote from post, plus photo of Cynthia and Gayleen holding a copy of FAULT LINES IN THE CONSITUTION, pus covers of FREE TO LEARN and WHO OWNS THE MOON?

“...issues that are universal and, therefore, always timely…include the quest for justice. In some cases, the lens is civil rights or immigration or the role of democracy.”
— @cylev.bsky.social interviewed by @gayleenwrites.bsky.social for Cynsations: cynthialeitichsmith.com/2025/09/auth...

"While we rightfully focus on the impacts of censorship across our communities, including to students, teachers, readers, booksellers, librarians, languages, cultures and more—there is only one thing needed for storytelling, and that's a storyteller," she said. "At its heart, storytelling is truth, it is authenticity, and there is no greater threat to fascism."

I’m very happy to see this story about the launch of @pubprosabb.bsky.social in PW especially this quote:
