How can publishers possibly protect authors, librarians, booksellers, and teachers from hate, from vilification, from criminalization, while simultaneously publishing the architects of such plans?
I just want to share that I am concerned about [waving broadly] everything...but attacks on books and libraries is something I do think we can fight for and WIN. I'm a librarian, but since I do not work in a public library I have gotten involved in a project started by activist Mariame Kaba called For the People: A Leftist Library Project. There are SO MANY ways to plug into this work at whatever level you're at, so if you care about books and access to information I encourage you to check it out! https://www.librariesforthepeople.org/
Absolutely... Everything you said... Maddening, really. Side book note: so curious about that Didion & Babitz book! We need more sassy and unapologetic women and their stories, even more now than ever.

Thank you so much for this.
Money is the root of all evil, I’ve heard.
"Sane washing" indeed.
