maybe if you take a hot shower. cook something. eat a little soup. feel a little sunshine. make something with your hands—it doesn’t have to be big. maybe if you stretch your body and draw a silly little picture and get some rest, the world will feel like something your hands can still hold

Your house, being the place in which you read, can tell us the position books occupy in your life, if they are a defense you set up to keep the outside world at a distance, if they are a dream into which you sink as if into a drug, or bridges you cast toward the outside, toward the world that interests you so much that you want to multiply and extend its dimensions through books.

Mad this. It literally says he got jailed for ignoring a court order telling him to stay away from the school - yet the headline says it's for not calling a kid they. He broke the court order cos he was being a self righteous stalkery Christian weirdo. I know the sort, they did the same to us at school cos we were scruffy poor unfortunates / desperate people that apparently needed god to save us. Loads of Christians are like this, proper weirdos.

timeline of events:

teacher misgenders a kid in front of his class

the kid politely corrects him and the teacher gets really mad and upset

a few days later there's an event at school. pretty much everyone is there. teachers, students, parents

during this event he makes an impromptu speech about how pronouns are bad. reminder that this event had nothing to do with LGBTQ stuff. it was like a big school dinner or something

he also goes on a huge homophobic rant. other teachers, students, and parents are annoyed.

he then follows around the principal all night begging her to "ban pronouns"

the principal repeatedly asks him to leave her alone

teacher does not fuck off

principal puts teacher on paid leave. tells him not to come to work tomorrow

he shows up anyway

someone showing up at school when they've been told not to is a security risk and also a crime

staff ask him to leave

principal gets a legal document forbidding him from coming to the school

he continues to show up to school multiple days in a row, despite not being allowed at the school

he is potentially a threat to students

staff ask him to leave or they will call the cops

he doesn't leave

he gets arrested

judge rules that because he wasn't allowed near that school, and yet still showed up at that school multiple times, putting everyone at that school in danger, he was found guilty of contempt of court

so no, this was not a teacher going to jail because he used the wrong pronouns. this was a ass wipe who couldn't take no for an answer and violated a restraining order, potentially putting the kids and staff at school in danger, so he faced the consequences for his actions.

It’s just a book. No harm ever came from… reading a book.
