My favorite example of this is when Scrubs added Dr. Grace Miller, she was literally written to be Dr. Cox, if he was a woman.

And people despised her.

My entire counterargument is the fast fashion episode. That one was brilliant.

I just did a big comment reply to another article like this, so I'm going to lazily copy-and-paste my comment:

Hey, so I'm in Tennessee.

If you look at the map, you'll see only 13 counties have done any banning, and 6 of those banned 10 or fewer books. While no counties should be banning anything, you'll see that Nashville banned nothing. Memphis is in Shelby county and they're listed as 'no response,' but I'd bet my butt they didn't ban anything, either.

Now, Mufreesboro, in Rutherford county, banned books. And Wilson county, which is Lebanon and Mt. Juliet, banned a shitton. That's interesting because you don't think "poor, rural assholes" when you think Mt. Juliet.

I went looking for specific information on Memphis, and I found this article, which talks about how that big list of the Rutherford county books was being circulated even in Clarksville (Montgomery county, north of Nashville), but it's being treated as a "review this list and remove whatever you choose to" with the librarians. The article also says that the law that caused this is likely facing a suit.

Which I would expect! I expect a lot of pushback on this. I just don't see any state with the Imagination Library, and with that program being so well-loved, going without challenge.

This has been your on-the-ground report with flicker. I'll be keeping you updated as the situation develops. Back to you, whoever.

"It just seems like a weird place to go on fire" was the best, I agree entirely!

Here is a link to the site it was supposed to point you to.

Well good luck, she's in Italy now.

Aw I put a lot of effort into this.

But I'm glad it's getting posted again. I understand those links are still circulating.

Gorgeous for a lot of reasons.

I bet it's playing a song from Sonic the Hedgehog.

We know who runs the internet.

Why did "Gsauce" bring me such joy?
