As an avid reader I find research suggesting over 50% of 8-18yr olds do not 'enjoy reading' in their spare time particularly depressing!

Part of this is a Q. of them having a quiet space to read, but in part must also be related to sucking up their time & also (possibly) to the way that reading is framed as instrumental (not enjoyable) for ?

As someone who has benefitted immeasurably from , I so hope this can be reversed

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon after years of effort, reading him books, quite a bit of audiobook use and eventually when I had given up and accepted my child is different from me 😂 suddenly he discovered manga then all the other platforms web-novels, online readings which took me a while to appreciate

I didn’t throw up a post last week because I didn’t want it to be lost among the clown show theatrics. This week’s thread is a little different but definitely on point and related. Many POCs born and raised here in the US don’t normally pay a great deal of attention to what is happening to our people in other parts of the world (my apologies if you do, I am not talking about YOU), unless we have family there. 1/8

Apparently, if I say "shut your mouth" to someone who said something insensitive as it applies to racism and they report that, my post will be removed. "Shut your mouth?" REALLY??? I'm offended.

@StillIRise1963 @jdp23 very 😞 sorry, I really thought we would be elsewhere in 2023🤦🏽‍♀️ but not a real surprise,
great article with Dr Johnathan Flowers https://techpolicy.press/the-whiteness-of-mastodon/ “One of the challenges of Mastodon, at least as I see it, is rejecting its inheritance or is rejecting the inheritance of whiteness through how the norms of Mastodon demand the use of its affordances”

@jdp23 @StillIRise1963 @EricFielding , re feedback 👍🏽read some 2017 summary, like it but perhaps more examples would help understanding🤷🏽‍♀️for those that don? just a thought when reading around white supremacy
