An absurd situation, we are not a serious country and this government is worse than every Tory administration before it in so many ways it's baffling - until you realise that neoliberalism has only one trajectory (fascism) and it doesn't matter what colour tie it's wearing
"Irish author Sally Rooney has told the High Court it is 'almost certain' she cannot publish new novels in the UK and may have to withdraw her current books because of the banning of Palestine Action under terrorism laws."
Sally Rooney books may be withdrawn from UK sale over Palestine Action ban, court told

Y’all, things are dire since my car has been stolen a week before our move. We were counting on having it. Things have been really rough & being on disability, which I’ve been on since my lymphoma diagnosis, limits my budget drastically. If you can help or share I’d be grateful.
