Your question has now been banned in Florida.

You ban me from Florida? Then'll make my own Florida! With wild gators and meth!

I just want to point out that there's a statue's butt on the side of the article and that's kind of weird.

It's because Texas is trying to ban books with the words butt and fart.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well now I'm disappointed that the butt isn't farting.

I can tell these things.

Next they will try and stop you from talking about book bans. Then they will try and convince you that there are no such things as book bans ... and so it goes.

What are you talking about? Books became obsolete in November 2024, according to Mr. Magasson. The only acceptable sources for reading reports are Fox News and X, remember?

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

What are you talking about? Those books have never existed. Only the books on this list are the books that exist.
