The fact that Disney actually shelved that episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur at a time when LGBTQ+ and trans lives matter the most is deplorable. I know young children are gonna need this episode more than ever and it should be released cause trans lives matter.

🚨BREAKING🚨: The shelved 'Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur' episode titled 'The Gatekeeper' has been LEAKED online by @owlphibia! With the episode's LGBTQ+ focus, Disney chose to shelve the episode. Now, it gets to be seen by all. Watch it here: archive.org/details/na-the…

We need to be very clear about all of this: it’s transmisogyny. The nby character who wears a binder is a-ok to be shown in s1 & playing volleyball but the explicitly transfemme character is hidden. This is misogyny directed at trans women & girls, not just “normal” transphobia.

We need to get Disney for not releasing this I’m so maddddd

books should feel lived in battered breathed in bone-deep seeped into your skin stories lined in the crevices of your skeleton silhouettes and shadows imprinted on your ken of all the books you’ve ever read and the stories you’ve lived in


it’s always “hannah waddingham’s great in this” or “hannah waddingham’s hot in that” but never “hannah waddingham plays a lesbian lumberjack in a medieval fantasy” (this brought to you by rewatching willow, in which queer & marginalized characters defeat the forces of darkness)

As @frankcottrell_b says in the article, the solution is in our hands. Stop closing libraries. Retain school librarians and employ many more. Fund author visits to schools. Publishers, stop throwing cash at celebrities and focus instead on engaging young readers. We can fix this.

the nonbinarian librarian is a contrarian

Girl are you an em-dash? Because you keep interrupting my train of thought but in an elegant way

Starting to see LIS folks use the phrase "responsibly implementing" when it comes to AI/genAI in libraries and archives, and once again, there is nothing responsible about a plagiarism machine that relies on stolen and personal data and is speeding up the climate crisis.
