I lived in Nottingham for a few years in the 1990s. Yesterday I went back for the first time in decades. Enjoyed calling in @fiveleavesbooks.bsky.social, Nottingham’s indie radical bookshop. Many moons ago it was Mushroom Bookshop. Here’s to @rossbradshaw.bsky.social for keeping such places going.

Thanks to those who came to Adeeb Shaneen's book launch last night. There was a collection for Medical Aid for Palestinians, which raised £170. We'll make it up to a round figure of course. Thanks to all those who donated.
