So, it's banned book week. Hence the mug of the week. Obviously, as an author, I'm completely opposed to banning books. I'm old enough to remember when writing and publishing erotica was a criminal offense. And I was just coming of age when Miller V California came into effect.
So yeah, banning books is bad. Free speech and freedom of the press are NECESSARY to human rights. People need to get a life and start minding their own businesses.
The theme of this year's event is, "Censorship Is So 1984. Read for Your Rights." Which...yeah. I wholeheartedly agree with. Books like 1984 and A Handmaid's Tale were meant as warnings, y'all; not instruction manuals. Get a clue!
