Swear-word censorship is probably my least favoriteā¦
Folks say authenticity is SO important, but then slap me with a community guidelines violation for telling someone authentically to fuck right off.

In times of great censorship, subtlety is king.
I didnāt take a screenshot of this, but earlier in the week I had some stranger in the comments asking me to take off my glasses so he can see my whole faceā¦ not today, Palantirbot. š¤£
Tucker Carlson is absolutely on fire tonight. š
Another report from the #TikTok Mod Wars: this guy has 3.5M followers, and yet his videos this week are being removed and suppressed to the point where fewer than 700 people are seeing them. And all because he dares to criticize Benny Yahoo and the āReal Gang. Cool and normal! Nothing to see here! š #censorship
š„¹ a good story from the TikTok trenches for a change.
Thatās part of the reason I pronounce it differently and donāt use captions
If we get another influx of users from TikTok, my bad. Lol. The censorship has me riled up. Correct my pronunciation at your own risk lol #grownostr

Although honestly the way the algo is right now, prob only 300 people will see it š absolutely out of control.

Hahahaha they just will NOT allow any NOTICINGā¦ buckle up yall. This is the canary in the coal mine. Mark my words.
š im not even that leet - itās just that tiktok has high viral potential because of its search features and algorithm. I grew my audience on there in 2 years from 0 to 100k and Iāve never been able to do that on any other platform. Itās been a wild ride.
Hereās an example of why I wish everyoneās replies were visible on their profiles on TikTok so that we could see the bots easierā¦
To the question of why Iām still on TikTok despite the Mod Warsā¦ every storyteller needs an audience.
Because when I do get to exercise my free speech over there, I reach millions of people and thereās really no match to it in terms of organic unpaid reach. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
And weāre back for another round of āwhat the fuck did I say to get censored?!ā š¤£ Iām telling yall itās out of control over there!
Sometimes all we can do is cultivate our gardensā¦ or so says Voltaire anywayā¦

Iām not sure what a WASP is in this context, but for the record my JFK reference was about the fucking CIA! š»

The snap peas and the nasturtiums are here! š
The moments before dawn are so interesting. The still cool air smells different at this time of day. Thereās one early bird screeching against a background of eerie silence. Even the bugs and frogs are quiet now. This might be my favorite hour.
