As the National Book Awards came to a close on Wednesday, finalists for the prestigious literary prizes took the stage in New York to speak about the Israel-Hamas war, with others at the ceremony also choosing to address banned books.
Oh man
I couldve sworn Levar Burton had died recently.
It was Lance Reddick i was thinking of
Don’t you even think about puttin no hoodoo on my man burton.
Interesting article organisation. Tease LeVar Burton, but don’t introduce him until the second section.
Also, his name is LeVar Burton, and the man has done a lot of things.
Seriously whats with this “former host” bullshit
He also promoted violence against women, but OK.
I imagine you’re talking about this and every single member of “Mom’s for Liberty” absolutely deserves it.
Gender is irrelevant, it’s more the being an absolute shit stain on humanity by being bigoted and wanting to ban books part.
Fun fact, no books are banned in FL
Anyone else feel like the country would be better off if more adults read books too? Only half joking…
I think it would depend on the books.
I think it would depend on the books.
Isn’t that the whole argument for banning some books and not others?
All I’m saying is I don’t think we’d be better off if more people started reading books like the Turner diaries. I’m not making a censorship argument here
Aye, didn’t want to accuse you of advocating for censorship. Just a friendly reminder that even the most “dangerous” texts are that way because of context, not content.
Also I was today years old when I learned about The Turner Diaries. Yikes.
I read manga, does that count? lol
Double yes. more people need to believe in the power of friendship and of falling face down into breasts
