“The judge’s order makes it clear that we cannot judge a book by its cover or a maliciously selected excerpt out of context,” said Stephana Ferrell of the Florida Freedom to Read Project. “This means that the thousands of books that have been prohibited from student access without careful consideration of their value should be returned to shelves immediately. Florida cannot call itself the “freest state” while it blatantly violates the First Amendment rights of our youngest citizens.” Dan Novak, attorney for the plaintiffs, called the decision “a complete knockout. There’s not a single issue that the court did not side with the plaintiffs on,” per the Orlando Sentinel.

I've gone properly down the Date Everything rabbit hole because I am such a fangirl of many of these voice actors. Dawn is making fun of me because I just want the friendship ends with everyone? But then I heard that when you finish the game after the credits it starts again and you still have the gifts everyone gave you but you have to play the game 3 times and get the hate/friend/love endings with everyone to get all their gifts? And I'm a completionist so ... my answer is a spreadsheet. Except I'm printing it.

I'm going to keep it in my gaming notebook so I can mark down which endings I've got which which people and which gifts I've gotten.

does anyone have that quote that goes something like 'white germans under the nazis lived just fine as long as they were loyal to the state, gave their children to the army, and paid their taxes, and in this sense many americans would be comfortable living under fascism' trying to find who said it but google is giving me jack shit
