So, while I’ll be sleeping the mods at r/politics on reddit have decided my post on library censorship is too self-promotional. Only thing I can say at this point is fuck them. BTW, my blogs are not monetized. There is no reason I cannot post a link to my own blog rather than their shady ass suggestion to post this as a personal story. The original story contains embedded video and pictures. So the mods at r/politics can FUCK THEMSELVES on this. I might put it more diplomatically if I were not about to sleep in a park.







Update: Rather than sleep in the park, I’m staying up all night. It’s better than the park, but I’m definitely very tired.

Update 2: So on June 30, I finally ended up sleeping in the park. As parks go, it was pretty nice once the music stopped blaring. I probably got 4-5 hours of sleep. Here’s a pic of me at about 5:30 a.m.

Update 3: While reading Anthony Lewis’ book, Freedom for the Thought We Hate, at the Barnes and Noble, I found his recounting of pre-colonial restraints on the freedom of speech fairly relevant to the actions of the Reddit moderators. Lewis wrote, “Repression was accomplished by two different devices. The first was preventive: a licensing system for all publications.” Lewis continues, “The licensors were bureaucrats who operated with utter arbitrariness. They took as long as they wished to decide whether something could be printed, and they gave no reasons for their decisions. When they said no, their was no appeal.”

Update 4: I was kicked out of Crane’s Roost twice. I decided to try to post the second incident to r/politics and it too is banned.
