I found this spiffy site for designer cat furniture because I am a Medium member, and the designer had written an article on How He Got Banned From AirBnB , which very much resonated with me. He wrote: --------------------------- After reaching out to support, I received the following unsettling email. Hi Jackson, Please understand that  we are not obligated to provide an explanation  for the action taken against your account. Additionally,  we consider this matter closed and will no longer reply to any inquiries regarding your account. Okay, this is a tough spot. Somehow I’ve violated the terms of service, but they won’t tell me which ones. And I can’t communicate with them anymore. Seems a little harsh. ____________________ Since this was exactly the wordage I got when I was booted off Twitter, I was sympathetic. He thinks he was plinked because he left an outside review of an awkward stay on Google, I think I was banned for suggesting Stephen Mille...

I Am A Twitter Fail

I have a Twitter account. I know people grumble about Twitter, but I have to say I like it, or at least the feed that I had built following some journalists and authors, as well as a pack of my fellow IAAA members. But I got up last Friday and tada! "Your account is suspended". Well. I am assuming it was because I was enjoying the platform too much and over re-tweeting (unlike Tumblr, Twitter doesn't want you to retweet too much?) But it doesn't say *how much* in the TOS, and no one has gotten back to me about my trouble ticket. So it's a mystery. I guess I will just have to sit over here with Laura Loomer and all the other oddballs who have been kicked off. It's not really a big deal, except that I met some really fun people and I even bought some author's books (Elizabeth Bear's Ancestral Night, which I thought was so much fun--big space opera with very likeable characters). Anyway, I put up something on my dusty Instagram instead. :D
