BREAKING: A federal judge has decided in favor of four publishers in the long-awaited copyright case Hachette v. Internet Archive. "There is nothing transformative about IA's copying and unauthorized lending of the works in the suit," the judge writes. This story is developing.
Starting to think a lot of ppl supporting this don't know how library ebook lending works.
They don't buy an ebook and then share it willy-nilly. They purchase a license that allows them to loan it to a certain # of people at a time, for a certain # of years or # of borrows.
The Internet Archive is incredibly valuable (I use the Wayback Machine all the time)--but its unpermissioned book scanning project places all of that at risk #WritingCommunity #BookTwitter dankennedy.net/2023/03/21/wh…
Libraries don't buy a book, reproduce it, then put it online. That's called stealing.
Real libraries respect writers too much to do that. Real libraries know that if writers don't get paid for their work, they can't keep writing books.

When you see people desperately scrambling to ban certain books, it's because they fear the power those books possess. A literate and well-informed public is our best defense against tyranny. Read a book to annoy a fascist.

Oh no, did someone say FOUND FAMILY?!!?
Looking at reviews of new Dungeons & Dragons movie and:
congratulations on writing a negative review that makes me want to see the movie even more
ALT Text By the end, one doesn’t come away with a deeper appreciation for the board game’s fantasy universe, partially because the narrative is so insistent on functioning as a cliche story about the family people make throughout their lives 2.5
The 6yo was playing "orphans running away to the woods" (as kids do) with two friends. They packed the entire contents of the play kitchen for the trek. My kid packed a lego box full of blocks.
Looks like one of these children will not survive a YA-dystopia-style apocalypse.

be honest, how many of us would have been shut away in asylums during the Victorian era for being “disobedient” and “unruly” and “a bit odd,” only to escape through a window in our white linen gowns and be mistaken for a ghost
This is the stuff of nightmares

The LGBT folks over 50 who I know in real life are all firmly on team "we reclaimed that word and you will pry it out of my cold, dead hands." The pushback is overwhelmingly from the young and originated with TERFs.

And he's already made significant progress

The great thing about @onceuponafine's writing is it is meticulously researched & clearly laid out, but always includes fun bon mots like this as an absolute treat to the reader!
ALT Screenshot of text reading: "For many American children, especially girls who grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s, these dolls served as status symbols and avatars. Much like Sex and the City had women asking each other if they were a Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte or Samantha, AG had girls asking each other which character they identified with, and indeed, some were Samanthas."

So excited for this show and so proud to know such an amazing writer!

One of my fav things about holidays is that it takes my kid a week(ish) to forget about the candy and then I can just slowly enjoy it all by myself over the next month.
I just finished up the Halloween candy last week. And soon the Christmas chocolate will arrive...
