A Girl Scout's "Banned Book Nooks" project, about book bans, was banned.

It emerged due to book bans at her Hanover County (VA) school and was to be honored for it by city commission.

Instead, the commissioners censored the proclamation–and showcased their role in county-wide book banning.

I know I follow someone #BTSArmy #FediArmy from Utah and I think someone from Central Florida but I can’t remember who is who, especially because ppl don’t use their real names and few use real photos of themselves and it’s driving me nuts. If you’re one or the other lemme know.

‘Tis the season to remember that all of Santa’s reindeer are female.

You see, males drop their antlers after the Autumn mating season, so since the world’s most celebrated reindeer are always depicted with spectacular antlers, we must assume that Ol’ Saint Nick’s entire intrepid team - including Rudolph - are female. #science #Christmas
