Let's Ban Censorship

 Banned Books Week 2025

October 5 - October 11, 2025

Author and Actor David Duchovny said the following at an American Library Association "How I Library" episode:

"If you cloister a mind, if you ban books that disagree with the prevailing sense of what is right or wrong, or what is religious or non-religious, or what is affecting young people or not affecting young people; if you cloister that mind you leave it weak and undefended.  

You have to go out into the marketplace of ideas to figure out which one wins for you.  

You can't spoon feed people.  

You can't spoon feed a culture."

::NO BANNED BOOKS::

For Sunday Selfies, we have a visitor.

This is Pancake, a 'hood cat who is very friendly, and adorably cute!

Look at that one white whisker.

Let's Hop!

Happy Birthday, David!

Just before the Covid-19 lockdown began for Michigan,

I was at the Detroit Institute of Arts and saw this photo:

"Dali Atomicus"

Photograph by Philippe Halsman

1948

And, it reminded me of this photo:

David Duchovny ala Salvador Dali
Image found on the interwebs
I cannot find an attribution

Which then triggered my memory of this photo:

August, 2016
Me...standing next to David Duchovny!!!

Happy Birthday, David Duchovny!

Handsome, talented: an author, musician, and actor.

And...he likes cats!

(Or, at least the person who made that middle photograph did...)

So, now you know I'm a cat lover, a Sherlockian, AND an avid "The X-Files" TV show fan.

Who knows what other secrets I'll reveal to you before too long, eh?
