Banned! The 20 books they didn’t want you to read From Instagram poetry to Greek classics, the works of fiction that have caused uproar through history – and into the present

I think I have found my new reading list (the ones I haven't read already.) Interesting how some of my all-time favorite books are on this list. What about you?

Why don't you read the first chapter and then make up your mind? None of us can do that for you. I think the book is pure genius, much better than the TV show. I read it twice. It made me feel warned but not depressed.

What a brilliant night! Old skool Jungle/Drum&Bass vibes @thejungleweekender in Amsterdam.

Surely, most people, worldwide, are in favour of taxing the ultra-rich. But how can we make this a worldwide movement? There are way more of us than there are of them. If only we can make people realize that inequality is causing their fall in living standards, not immigrants.

I still hope that BlueSky will become a good alternative to Meta. So please start allowing videos that are longer than one minute and/or posts with multiple photos. These current restrictions are among my #blueskyannoyances as I would so love to ditch FB & Insta.

#blueskyannoyances Why does a video have to be less than 60 seconds long? And why are multiple photos in one post not allowed? Come on, BlueSky, please become a good alternative to Meta. We need one!!!

I would love to leave FB and Insta and only be on BlueSky. However, it is still too limited. #blueskyannoyances. Please give us: more photo & video options. And please stop telling us how long our posts can be. Thank you!

Hi Mike. I am surprised that I haven't come across more people using the #blueskycomplaints yet. I used #blueskyannoyances & only found one other person using that hashtag. I hope Bluesky takes note of users wishes and complaints though.

I saw one other person using that hashtag. So not much of a trend yet 😉. I wonder If #blueskycomplaints is one that people use? I'll go check it.

Ahhhh....I notice we used the same hashtag. I wonder if others might follow and if BlueSky will end up seeing this.

I posted some of my annoyances/complaints and hashtagged it with #blueskyannoyances. Do you think it makes sense to start using some sort of hashtag? I'm quite new here, so not sure yet what works.

Two things I don't like about BlueSky:

You can only react to stories with a loveheart. Sometimes a story makes me angry or sad. Why can't I express that?

To read comments, you have to click the space next to the comments. Why do something so counter-intuitive?

My little #BlueSkyannoyances.

Why does BlueSky only allow us to react with a loveheart? It causes me not to react to stories like these, as clicking 'love' to them feels so wrong. Come on, BlueSky, give us some more emojis to pick from. This story, obviously, is shocking and disgusting.

My first attempt at reverse decoupage. Can't wait to perfect what I learned so far.

Just ordered this as I would love to learn from all these grandmas. Food is the way we pass on our culture and our love for those around us.

I'll be going to a decoupage workshop with my mom and my sister. Looking forward to it 😀
