Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

Have I just breakfasted on a chocolatine/pain au chocolat aux amandes from the best pâtisserie in town? Why, yes I have (there surely must be some compensations for getting up early and going to the market on a grey, drizzly November morning).

The unflinching energy with which people seem steely determined to make the world a sh*tt*er place for others and all is quite baffling. From Brexit to MAGA it's just so downright stupid. Anyway, I love this response.

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

These are the voters that Labour strategists have made very clear over a long period of time that they don't want any more, and it's a message that has now been heard
I've been out canvassing quite a lot in London lately. Labour's vote has absolutely evaporated.... it is quite extraordinary to go to places where Labour were on 50-60% of the vote at the last locals and find nobody, or virtually nobody, supporting them.

If there is any Doctor Who news today, I hope it will be scheduled for 5:15pm and then get delayed by news of the American president being assassinated - After all, it's how it all started.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.
Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance."
No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".
