@ryanestrada.comReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialThere's one man I've wanted to give a copy of Banned Book Club to since 2020. Moon Jae-In. But I couldn't because he was busy being president. It was the last panel of our book! Today, we got the chance. But that wasn't the best part.
@heykellyjensen.bsky.socialReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialI guess I did have something to say about this week, but this may be all I have to say about this week.
@ryanestrada.comReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialIt happens every #BannedBooksWeek.
No, you don't wish your book were banned.
@heykellyjensen.bsky.socialReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialThis podcast has been a real delight to put together, and today's episode was so full of joy and hope–I cannot tell you how cool it was to talk to Marley as a (young) adult!
@maggietokudahall.bsky.socialReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialHere's the thing: most books that are banned don't make the lists that get circulated each #BannedBooksWeek.
If you're a book creator and your book gets banned, please respond to this post with your book and its buy link on bookshop.org. That way we can support indies and banned books 💛

@ryanestrada.comReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialOh, awesome. Now Florida is doing the "government mandated state-wide bans by vague illegal threats" thing that Texas has been dealing with. We'll never know what got bigot-banned under the table with zero process.
@heykellyjensen.bsky.socialReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialOn the latest episode of Liberating Lit, Dr. Emily Knox talks about why protecting the right to read is social justice work and shares some powerful advice for literary advocates just getting started or starting to feel the weight of burnout: www.liberatinglit.com/episodes/epi...
@heykellyjensen.bsky.socialReposted by @tasslyn.bsky.socialThis week, Dr. Emily Knox talks about what got her interested in book censorship, its history and legacy in our country, and the ways your world shifts when young people in your life begin to read. That, plus so much more.
It's a *great* conversation.
