Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

Hi. If you dm me an address, I will send you a signed plate, as you had a ticket to the event.
For anyone else who somehow might read this and might be looking for the bookplates at Mr B's: all them have been put into books already, no chance to get one if you already have a book 🥲

Hi. I'm really sorry and have addressed this on IG. It was not my decision and the publishers' position will be made clear at a later date.
I've sent Mr B's some signed bookplates and I hate that we've been put in this position.

Had a "holy shit" moment at Waterstones Cheltenham earlier. Saw they had a Modern Classics table. It had A Kind of Spark by @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social on it.
A book by a neurodivergent about neurodivergency. Described as a modern classic.
That is officially Awesome.
