These accounts have had to resort to self-censoring and creating backup accounts, all because they post about topics like politics, LGBTQ+, sexuality, and more. Creators of these accounts are getting fed up with Instagram’s censorship. “I think Instagram has such potential to be a site for community and activism, and speaking boldly and proudly about our bodies, but they’re making that almost impossible now,” Tori Ford, the founder of Medical Herstory, told Lifewire in a phone interview....

KOTOR is one of the most beloved (possibly the most beloved) Star Wars video games of all time, and that’s not without reason....
