"You are a reader because you read. Full stop. There is no exam. No judge. No purity
test.

Books are not a ladder. They are a door. And you already have the key."

Kiitos linkistä @sammallammas - "When someone says audiobooks do not count, they are not defending literacy. They
are defending a ladder.

Science is unequivocal. In 2019, neurological research showed that the brain
recognises and processes language almost identically whether read or heard...

Saying audiobooks do not count excludes people with dyslexia, visual impairment,
neurodivergent processing, time scarcity, and exhaustion. It is exclusion disguised as
purity." #kirjamastodon #kirjafedi
