I woke up this morning to my inbox telling me my X account (Twitter) had been locked. Why? Because of GORE, I was told. Huh?

This is pretty fucking hilarious. I’m not sure if posting a link to the offending post is going to get me in trouble again, but I’m going to do it anyway so you can see for yourself what’s being depicted as GORE for the sake of “delighting in cruelty” or “sadistic pleasure”. Here’s the link to the post about Michael’s rotting foot from August 23rd, 2021.

It’s good to know that journalists with no institutional backing, like myself, don’t get to post graphic images like all the REAL journalists right now showing us dead kids in Gaza. Cool.

Michael’s rotting foot WAS disgusting, but I didn’t film it (with his approval) to delight in cruelty, or to take sadistic pleasure in his deteriorating health. No, I took the footage to show my audience, in graphic detail, an example of Missoula’s FAILURE when its comes to addressing chronically homeless individuals. But I guess that’s not allowed on Elon’s FREEDOM platform.

To unlock my account I had to remove the offending tweets, so that’s what I did because Elon has made censorship GREAT again. 

Happy fucking New Year!
