I think that would help a lot - giving the authors mroe say in the coverrs. It won't changed the erased books, but it will help those authors whose inclusive work is white-washed

Yeah, it's going to be a long slog before this trend changes

I'm adding "raw food" to the goji juice, vitamin c and organic cherry juice list

1) If I am upset, angry or otherwise irritable, it is because I have reason not because I'm "having a moment"

2) Similarly, if I say something you don't agree with, I'm also "not having a moment". I disagree with you. Beleiveing everyone who disagrees with you must be delusions is unbelievably arrogant

3) If I do ACTUALLY "have a moment" then I need a moment. Leave me alone..

4) I'm taking prescription medication. Treat it like me taking aspirin (i.e. ignore it) not like I suddenly snorted a line of crack off your table.

5) Don't ask me if I've taken my pills, especially not every hour. And don't look at me like I'm 10 seconds away from attacking you with the cutlery or breaking out the finger paints and expressing my feelings across the kitchen wall

6) Don't ask questions, it's not your business.

7) I have a therapist, I don't need amateur therapy.

Ugh no. no no no no

Conservative commentators are indeed vile in the extreme but that does not justify this crap, oi no it does not.

It's not like she won't have given everyone plenty of sound bites to legitimately criticise her on!

More inclusion, especially form children and especially in such an iconic role can only be a good thing. It's so vital for young marginalised people

This man is proposing concentration camps. No, that's not Godwin, he is literally espousing Nazi philosophy and Nazi actions.

There has to be some limits. There simply has to be. And when someone talks about rounding up marginalised peopel and shoving them in electrified concentration camps to die - that has to be so past the limit.

People say he has the right to say it - why don't GBLT people have the right not to have genocide against us mooted? Why don't we have the right to basic safety? Why don't we have the right for society and government to say "actually, extermination of GBLT people is not ok!" Why is his speech worth more than that?

And this isn't abstract. How many times have we seen GBLT rights been put up to a ballot box? Voting on GBLT humanity is ESTABLISHED PRECEDENT (wrongly but it is). So when someone starts advocating for extermination, don't tell me that that's harmless!

And I boggle at the idea that people, institutions, like this should be SUPPORTED with tax exemption. This is to be encouraged?

That's it can we please stop stop stop the whole damn "humour" excuse. it's been done, it's not funny and it's past annoying now. Ugh there is no excuse to spout bigotry. NONE And "I don't think anyone should ahevto hide" falls flat when he then expresses the homophobia that drives us to

Why why why did he think shwoing hismlef and a homophobe and a racist would in any way be funny, amusing or a good thing? Really?

Sack her. She's utterly and completely incapable of doing her job and she will hurt kids while she spills her bigotry on the most vulnerable

And I also dislike "crazy talk" I am not neuro typical, I have mental illnesses. And I know better than to let racism spill out of my mouth - it's demeaning to disabled people. And it gives the bigoted a pass - it's not "delusion" or illness that makes them bigoted - it's their own damn fault

Best news I've heard all day :) Awesome books need awesome covers
