Created in collaboration with dozens of publishers, Unite Against Book Bans book résumés are easy-to-print documents that summarize a banned book’s significance and educational value, including a synopsis, reviews from professional journals, awards, accolades, and more. The book résumés also include information about how a title has been successfully retained in school districts in the face of demands to censor it. ALA officials said that the PDFs can be downloaded and printed for easy sharing with administrators, book review committees, and the public at local school and library board meetings.

This is fantastic news! Book banners in the United States often take quotes or sections of books wildly out of context for shock value in order to expedite or garner support for bans. This is in flagrant violation of the Miller test for obscenity, but they don't seem to care.

These book resumes are a great resource and template for library workers fighting book bans because they remind (good-faith) board members and other people in power of the book's value as a whole.

people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist

listen its not that tamlin locking feyre in a manor is ‘not a big deal’. its that sjm parallels tamlin and rhysand way too much for rhysand to be a viable, healthy option for feyre.

rhys put a whole city under a lockdown so severe people forgot about its existence (and from what the wiki says, the city was kept hidden for centuries even before, for the safety of its citizens) but tamlin locking feyre in a manor, so she wouldn’t follow him into an unsafe situation was crossing a line?

I want to be an artistic generalist but it’s so unrealistic for me rn!!

stellis' best detective, thwarted by a really good book.....what hyperfixation does to a mf

these photos of jean-pierre talbot from his autobiography feel so ‘older tintin as editor-in-chief’

the most autistic thing i've done in the past year is when i typed out a transcript of the text from the entire main storyline in Pokemon Legends: Arceus into a wordpad document, complete with basic image descriptions, and then i didn't even write the fanfic which was supposedly the reason i started that whole project in the first place

Very deep in my feelings about how experiencing a bodily invasion like Korra did (not once, but three times! When Amon took her bending, when Unalaq reached in and tore Raava out of her, and when Zaheer force-fed her poison and ripped the air out of her lungs) can leave a person feeling like their body is something not entirely their own, like they're inside it but so is somebody else. About how long Korra spent physically unable to move while simultaneously being tormented by memories of Zaheer and what he did, literally and figuratively locked inside the haunted house of her body with the guy who made it that way.

omgg who are you 😭😭 i appreciate this lol it's good to know that you feel comfortable sharing all that random stuff with me <33 yeah i think i noticed a pattern yes hehe

medieval/royal fics hohooo i need to think bc it's been a hot while since i've read stuff but... (staring at my bookshelf while i think) the selection series i guess? i think most of the royal/medieval settings i've read are mixed with fantasy but the selection series doesn't have that so that's one series to read if you haven't already!

if you'd like fantasy royal/medieval, the acotar series and throne of glass series is a good read too! the infernal devices as well. and have a great ramadan <3

I started making a fake book cover for @firstelevens latest amazing fic sugar pie, honey bunch and then I got kind of obsessed with making book covers in Canva, so I decided to make covers for a few more of my favorite sambucky fics of hers to show my appreciation for her writing keeping me sane the last few months ♥️

by land, by sea, by dirigible [18K words, 6 chapters, complete] - Sam and Bucky team up with the dynamic duo from Marvel's Cloak & Dagger (RIP) and magic, literally, ensues. 🔮⚜️

sugar pie, honey bunch [AU, 55K words, 17 chapters, complete] - the plot of TFATWS except it's behind the scene of an all-star season of The Great British American Bake Off. Alliances are formed, conspiracy theories come to life on twitter, and whisks (and hearts!) are stolen. 🥐💖

a friend of any sort [AU, 3K words, 2 chapters, Part 1 in a series, complete] - Sam needs a fake date for Thanksgiving at his sister's and brings Bucky along to be the most unsuitable, obnoxious boyfriend ever, so his family will leave him alone about being single. Things do not go to plan. 🥧🦃

you can sing me anything [AU, 4K words, 1 chapter, Part 2 in a series, complete] - sequel to a friend of any sort, in which Bucky needs Sam to return the favor and pretend to be his boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation (and into a better, but still kind of awkward situation). ☕😻
