A number of programs enable #incarcerated #parents to read #books to their children. A new program uses #Tonies to achieve this.
(Not familiar with Tonies or the #Toniebox? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonies for Wikipedia's explanation.)
Controlled Chaos is a #zine that highlights the lives of #incarcerated #library workers through their own writing and illustrations. Jarrod “Deuce” Williams, Knight, and George Coles-El, Mesro the Human Sun tell stories about their work that illuminate the similarities–and the differences–between #InformationAccess inside and outside the walls.

A Library Futures 2024 Research Network Cohort project. There's more to come from this fantastic network 🌹
"Letter after letter showed me a refreshing disregard for that invisible tyranny of taste determining what we 'should'—even 'must'—read."

#NayibBukele (known by his mom as Nobby #Bukake) is #OrangeShitler's latest #Authoritarian boyfriend. Today #NobbyBukake and #KingShitzInPants had a little "tough bro" giggle about sending #Murrican #Citizens - who have upset #tRump - to Nobby's little naked #gulag in #elSalvador WITHOUT #DueProcess. Do they circle-jerk over #incarcerated men stripped to the waist?
Are you great yet #Murrica?
