GR8ERDAYS: Megan Mullally is turning 63 — celebrate with 10 performances of hers you may not know existed.

Another example of @instagram / @Meta's anti-gay bias — I had a tasteful rear-nude photo I took of a model (with release) years ago removed today for "bullying and harassment." No explanation. I contested it and we'll see, but ... it's just a complete farce. pic.twitter.com/yt8empY2xT

TWITTER: I once had an image on IG removed because — IG said — it represented too much of a close-up image of buttocks. No, really! The app that is nothing but guys with huge asses raised to the heavens with tiny strings barely obscuring their holes. I also once had a loincloth pic of a Johnny Weissmuller removed. Now, they've removed a tasteful image of a nude I photographed (with release) for bullying or harassment. WTF?! I contested it, but I've almost never had those turn out well.

Thank ya, Robin de Jésus! (Image via Grab)
