“There’s considerable irony in that those who seek 2 limit access 2 #books in school libraries often say they’re fighting 4 #ParentalRights,” said #KenPaulson, director of #FreeSpeechCenter @ #MiddleTennesseeStateUniversity. “If government #speech determines what books can be in the #library, the government is essentially saying your children can only see the ideas that the government has approved.

“That’s not parental rights, that’s #authoritarianism.”

We gotta get you on an instance with a larger character limit, my friend.

@toplesstopics

Honestly, Cleo, the character limit on my instance is not necessarily a bad thing, lol. I know it costs $$$ for instance owners when posts occupy space on servers, and with the amount of stuff I generate, lol, i'm sure it occupies more than some others do. So I'm fine with the limit. Added bonus: it forces me to use my brain and get a little creative in figuring out ways to fit it all in, lol. Like, this post right here has used up every character available to me.

@iuculano @toplesstopics @Melisondra The amount of space text takes up is negligible compared to things like photos or GIFs.

You could literally fit over 5,000 max-length messages in the size it takes to store one max-size GIF.

@LouisIngenthron

Lol, I'm going to use your own words, from your profile

"High risk of rants, especially with the lack of character limits."

Nuff sed, lol
