    Now would be a good time for them to showcase books on fascism and persecution of LGBTQ people in Nazi Germany.

    I get that. I really do. But that’s also one of the goals of these kinds of laws.

    I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library, line up for the mind cemetery now!
    What we don’t know keeps the contracts alive and movin’. They don’t gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em

    Sad how relevant this still is.
