I really want to write something on how arts and crafts carried a significant role in acts of resistance through the ages. From the visuals and cookbooks of the suffragists to the knitting spies of WWII, it really is such a rich topic

It's come to my attention that some people believe you can't buy a new book until you've read the books you already have. Let me assure you, as both a lawyer and a writer, that this idea is legally and morally WRONG and BAD. Buy more books.

6,600 people were recalled to prison in 2023 for 14 or 28 days, often the result of unmet support needs, not reoffending.

21 years ago, British journalist Tom Hurndall died after spending 9 months in a coma.
Tom was carrying a Palestinian child out of range of Israeli army gunfire when he was shot in the head.
We will never forget him, nor his vision of a free and independent Palestine.
