Jourdon Anderson, an ex- Tennessee slave, declines his former master’s invitation to return as a laborer on his plantation. 1865. Via [Digital History: African American Voices]

I wish my formative years had involved this heaping dose of inspiration, but sadly yesterday was the first time I’d read about Jourdan Anderson. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this and how amazing a lesson including this letter would’ve been in high school.

Cranky oldsters are sueing for the right to publically burn library books that the mere presence of in the library offends them to the tune of $30,000 per plaintiff in compensatory damages.

Francesca Lia Block’s Baby Be-Bop has also incited a rage so deep in their Good Christian hearts that they’re demanding the resignation of West Bend’s mayor for “allow[ing] this book to be viewed by the public.”

I’m sorry Ginny and Jim Maziarka of Milwaukee, but the fact that you’re senior citizens stuck on young adult fiction shows you were likely already mentally and emotionally damaged.

Don’t you have lawns to protect?
