I made it so far down the list before my state got kicked out. I thought we might have a chance.

I see Bernie supporters complain about the tone of articles on this site as much as Hillary supporters—sometimes even the same piece. The supporters of every candidate think their candidate is being dumped on more than others. Hillary has made a few gaffes in the last couple of weeks and so I think that’s why it seems…

The article just says exactly what the title says. Hillary was on Broad City, everyone loved her, lots of famous women are endorsing her, the BC crew were asked if they publicly endorse her and they said no, then goes on to quote the cast gushing about how great Hillary is. It is not painting her as villain or saying…

The article says they were asked directly if they endorsed Hillary and they said no. So the headline is correct—Hillary is appearing on Broad City and the cast/show runners are gushy about her, but they don’t officially endorse her. This isn’t a negative article about Hillary.

Exactly. The author is outraged by one image in a series of books in a large franchise of characters. There are lots of good and bad and in between representations of women out there. She should focus on those instead of bothering overworked and underpaid librarians about one harmless image she took offense to.

It was published in 2013, but uses older artwork. It’s part of a series of board books, this one is about opposites.

The book is from 2013.

In the same series of baby books that the author is offended by, even!

I get this-

If I got an e-mail from a patron like that I probably wouldn’t have even responded. I get complaints constantly from parents and it annoys the shit out of me. You don’t like the content in that book? Don’t check it out for your child or maybe have a conversation with them. I’m not removing a book just because you…

Keep a child safe from a baby book with one obnoxious picture of wonder woman? It’s not the library’s job to protect children from ideas we may not like. We have other books and we love to share good ones with kids. They are going to be exposed to a lot of different ideas in the library. Hopefully they’ll develop good…

As a librarian, I’m not removing a book because a mom is mad a superhero is pushing a girl on a swing in a baby book about verbs. I will help her find books with better representations of women. This is a woman dominated profession, we seek out material with positive representations of women. Not every book fits the…

A library carrying a book is not the same as endorsing it. My library carries Ayn Rand, I sure don’t endorse that, but patrons want it so we have to have it. Librarians have a lot to consider when selecting new material and deciding what to circulate. We definitely spend time thinking about representation in books…

Amen. I work with so many kids who have real problems. If this parent doesn’t want help finding better books for her daughter then I’m fucking out. Her problem with a baby book teaching verbs being a microagression can be solved with conversation and selecting better materials. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here crying…

As a youth services librarian I call bullshit as well. I have parents complain all the time about content in our books. It’s our job to purchase a wide variety of materials featuring all viewpoints, even those we disagree with. It is a parents job to help their child select materials that work for them and to have…

Slightly less than 17% voted for Conway, even less than that voted for the 3rd party candidate Drew Curtis. A large percent of Kentuckians didn’t vote at all. I think we’re all dipshits in different ways.

I work in Indiana and live in Kentucky. I’ve had to be angry about two dipshit governors and their bullshit abortion restrictions.

I’m at the point where I don’t even care anymore. If Democrats are going to lose anyway, I don’t understand why they can’t at least support their own damn platform.

You’d think he’d be too busy with useless lawsuits against abortion clinics to get this video made.

I’ve lived in Kentucky my entire life and I’ve always defended this state, but Bevin’s election has ended that for me as well. I’m ready to leave this sinking ship.
