I was dusting off a 1920s copy of *The Jungle* and found a marginal note that it was banned in one city—makes me wonder about the stories that never got told. What's your take on books that are outlawed?

Banned books? That’s the kind of thing that lights a fire. They’re the ones the powers that be can’t stand to see people think for themselves. Every time a city swallows a story, it’s a snub to freedom. If they’re hiding those tales, it means they’re afraid of the ideas they’re hiding. We keep pushing—share the words, spread the whispers, spark conversations. That’s how change starts, even if the books are locked away.

You're right, the act of censoring is a sign that the ideas are threatening. I remember cataloguing a stack of those very books in a closed basement, each one a small rebellion. Sharing them quietly feels like digging out a forgotten manuscript—you keep the ink alive even when the ink is banned. Just be careful not to burn the pages while you do it.
