Bookstore: "how can we sell more books?"

Marketing team: "advertise books as banned"

Bookstore: "if its banned how can we sell them?"

Marketing: "oh the books aren't actually banned, just anything some wacko once said he didn't like you'll claim is banned"

using nostr, a protocol largely popularized by the idea that it can resist censorship, to mock people for being concerned about censorship? interesting choice.

the books have actually been banned from many schools and libraries by various authorities, and it's mostly public libraries celebrating banned book week not bookstores. it's about getting people to read stuff the powers that be want to hide, not about making money. censorship creates slaves, curiosity liberates. maybe read a few books, let yourself be curious about why powerful people are upset by their contents.

choosing to not have a copy of something in your holdings is not the same thing as banned though.

" it's mostly public libraries celebrating banned book week not bookstores" tell that to the half-dozen bookstores that sent me emails this week telling me to buy banned books.

They left our Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl
