This is really, really good. Maybe consider writing a children's book?
Aw, thanks! Gosh, that would certainly be much more wholesome than spending my time filled with rage against the machine.
A children's book like this would probably win a world record any% speedrun for banned/burned books. . . but I'd be damn proud of that.
It'd be a great resource for interested parents discussing this with their kids, and a giant fuck you to bigots, with the potential of lots of opportunities to drive that fuck you deeper*.
Do it! I dare you (in a positive way)!
*Noted this bit might get a little dicey, depending on where you live and its social climate
Plenty of local book shops happily carry banned books! I think there's really a market for this kind of empathetic writing.
