How ‘bout a kidlit self-picked selection? An online virtual book club? An augmented reality fairytale? A graphic novel? Meaningful manga? Um, a poolside magazine, status line or text message?

#MoreLikeThisPlease #Journo Media needs to callout those enabling, normalizing and perpetuating violent rhetoric and privileged rule bending. Pandering in the name of “both sides-ism” is dismantling democracy. #TruthMatters

Quinn writes of a different kind of access. Access to our own eyes and ears:
