For the last couple of years, library workers have been begging and pleading for attention on this. If you think this won't happen in your community, guess what, it will. You *have* to get involved. Now. Don't wait until the ban is in place.

No one escapes this. We’re in it together, or we’re next in line for the horrors. Where gender is concerned, the rules & specs of “appropriate” masculinity & femininity are neither fixed nor absolute. You’re probably not as safe as you think.

A picture of the cover of the book Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu. In the foreground is a hilltop covered in roses. There are fifteen houses at least partially visible in a neighborhood. Nine are identical- yellow siding with decorative vines creeping up the front, perfectly manicured lawns surrounded by rose bushes, smoke coming up from chimneys. Five of the houses are similar, but in shadow. One house, near the center of the illustration, is in shadow and covered in overgrown vines, weeds, extra flowers, and long grass. Dark rainclouds are threatening to fill the otherwise blue sky.

This book destroyed me tonight. 5 stars. 📚💙

A stack of four library books on a desk, spines facing the camera. Titles are Eventown by Corey Ann Haydu, Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me by Mariko Tamaki and Rosemary Valero-O’Connell, and Estranged by Ethan M. Aldridge.

This weekend’s chosen coping mechanism while I try not to doom scroll. 💙📚
