An Indiana public library is moving 1300 young adult titles to the adult section--making them unavailable to the readers the books were written for, many of whom need those books to survive their lives.
The library is spending over $300,000 just to deny teens the right to read books written for and about them.
Precious few #screenshotsaturday left before release on #steam! This whole #indiegame dev journey has been tough. Would we do it again? Yes! But we'd consider more carefully the next project for sure. We probably went to #narrativegame heavy this time for a first #game. And even #pixelart is hard to keep up with when you need alot of it!

and I have an article in Social Sciences
'Offshoring Refugees: Colonial Echoes of the #UK-Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership' https://mdpi.com/2076-0760/12/8/451
part of the special issue The #Colonial Legacies in #Asylum and Welfare in Europe.
The UK-Rwanda proposals differ from official practices of #deportation as they have developed in liberal democracies since the 1970s.
There are certainly some international parallels, such as Australia’s ‘Pacific Solution’ of ‘offshoring’ asylum, which is often cited as an inspiration. Yet a much clearer precedent involving the forcible movement of people to countries where they have no personal or legal connection existed for many years in the British Empire.

let me second this. I feel so much gratitude towards the autistic community. Colors and forms do a similar thing to me as community does. They form a space of resonance I can put my deepest feelings into and allow them to open and unfold. It's like an embrace. Here are some colors and shapes of my own. This one is abstract and it feels similar to me as a cat, laying on my chest, purring on my heart. @actuallyautistic
Doing research and realizing that unfortunately #SiYuan messes one thing up - backlinks and mentions render the inline content that contains the link.
The way SiYuan models pages, lists of any kind are structural objects that attach inline content.
That means while you can write outliner-style lists in SiYuan, the context of that list, especially child bullets, doesn‘t automatically come along like it happens in #logseq - or #capacities.

@PFCOGAN There are plenty, but it doesn't matter where you start. New writers to medium should check out @bookstodon for general interest. There are others for varied interests, including @smutstodon for erotica
Welcome!
#GameInfekt - Das Spiel ist soooo hübsch! Erinnert total an ältere JRPGs und der Charme kommt echt gut rüber. Der Soundtrack ist auch super. Freue mich schon sehr auf den Release Ende August. 💗
reading the news about the flood here in Norway and wiki pages on the revolution in Iran converged into a bizarre dream during my nap: i'm a spy fighting the regime and the flood simultaneously, there's danger everywhere and i must save people (from either fanatic theocrats or masses of water, choose your poison), pew-pew 🦸♀️
all i wanted was to refresh my memory of what happened in Iran during that time, so i'm not... erm... so disoriented to read Disoriental by Négar Djavadi (see what i did there? 🥁🥴)
I have been massively enjoying this rerun of the radio series on @BBCRadio4 of the much missed #TerryPratchett + @neilhimself 's genius book #GoodOmens.
It's been wonderful to introduce a whole new generation to both Pratchett and Gaiman's work.
A big recommend if you haven't read/heard it.
(Have not seen TV series so can't compare to that)
@Ruth_Mottram@BBCRadio4@neilhimself
FWIW, the #BBC adaptation of Good Omens is probably my favourite. I have read the book & seen the TV version, but the radio adaptation wins for painting mind pictures & humour. If you are a fan of #TerryPratchett and haven't heard it, do listen. https://bbc.in/3qgSXt7
