  • Thankfully, because of my British family, I am very good with most British accents. That said, the guy who delivered our groceries had an incredibly thick Lancashire accent and a stutter and I got a few phrases here and there. I got the important ones like ‘did you get my message’ and ‘no substitutions’ but he said something about going to Preston (nearby) which was just unintelligible, so I just nodded and said, “okay.”











  • First of all, the kids in this comic are clearly not teenagers, so you need to decide whether or not you’re talking about the comic since you were one post ago.

    Secondly, you have not even acknowledged that these book banning laws will end up imprisoning librarians. It’s all about how kids, if they are somehow magically aware of it, can bypass libraries to read certain specific books that are banned.

    Cool, now how do they get access to Gender Queer or The Bluest Eye? Because those are banned too and will also put librarians in prison and they are not in the public domain. How about And Tango Makes Three, the often-banned picture book for children, which is a true story about two male penguins in a zoo that adopted a baby chick. A librarian letting a kid have access to a book about penguins could end up in prison for it.

    Because as it is, you seem to be implying that the only banned book of any significance is 1984 and if librarians get imprisoned for letting someone under 18 read it, good.
