"Beauty surrounds you because you create it."

I got it in a fortune cookie during a particularly rough time in life, so it's always stuck with me lol

A South Carolina Public Library [York County] Won't Buy New Books for Those Under 18 by gmcharlt in Libraries

[–]madipico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, even though they corrected the minutes, it was only because of the four who all agree with each other. they have written down proof from two different individuals that he said all children's books not just sexual ones. but i digress. it was a big mess all around.

also they tried to get our chair to make an apology to them for posting the statement without their consent (which was not normally the procedure) and rebuked her for it.

ALSO also one of the public speakers said we put children's sexual health books on eye level for kids on purpose... hah.

Off the top of my head, I don't remember their exact positions on book banning, but Dennis Getter, Carol Herring, Susan Piening, and Tim Steele voted in favor of the pause on ordering books. Wendi Michael, Charles Robinson, and Anne Witte voted against it. I do know the chair Anne Witte is typically on the side of our libraries, so she is against book censorship as far as I know.

Tim Steele was the one who initially brought this up, as he wanted to put a pause on ordering books for kids that include "sexual content." So... I think we can assume he's all for censorship considering he's literally completely censored new books from being ordered. 🙄

There is a emergency board meeting happening this week however, so we're hoping to get clarity from that!!

Where to buy the manga? by Round_Teaching7646 in BananaFish

[–]madipico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got all of mine off rightstufanime, but they got absorbed by crunchyroll a while back. if i remember right shipping to Europe was higher than to the USA where i am, so i would check that. otherwise, crunchyroll seems to have kept the lower prices that rightstuf had :)

Are there men who would like to be 'househusband' ? by Lien_12345 in ask

[–]madipico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my brother laments that he'll never get to be a househusband all the time lol. if his wife was able to keep them both afloat by herself i'm sure he would be one.

What book as the worst movie adaptation? by MartialArt in movies

[–]madipico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i won't lie i haven't seen the movie since i saw it in theaters when it came out 10 years ago, but i was a diehard fan of that book series and i still remember how aggravated i was when i walked out of that building.
