I just saw the 2025 US banned books list. I just want to say, go read books. Talk about them. Share them. And please write them.

While many of these books will still be published, they do become less accessible when removed from libraries

Be a book punk. Read them all

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
