“The unread pile of books shouldn’t be guilt-inducing but reassuring; proof that we have access to thoughts and stories we might love. Bookshelves show what subjects and ideas spark our curiosity. Owning a book can be as emotionally satisfying as reading it.” www.vogue.in/content/in-d...
In defence of buying books you may never read
If we’re going to be materialistic, it might as well be about books

This is an important and heartfelt letter. Unfortunately there has been a real blindspot among some people on the British and European left. We should oppose imperialism and fascism, wherever they occur.

This is for the young lady I spoke with in Krakow station, asking if we were on the right platform for the airport.
She was going there too, at 7.00 on a Sunday, to meet her father (flying for the first time) & help him through security.

Loads of tik tok posts supporting the farmers, by making ludicrous claims, blaming the PM and fearmongering there will be no food. LOADS of comments calling them out. Ridiculous and funny, but mainly ridiculous. Unlikely most of the creators are farmers.

I visit young inpatients across Yorkshire and the East Mids & cheer them up by telling (not reading)traditional tales, folklore, fairystories and myths. It's a delightfully effective way to create a level of wellbeing which motivates to do further activity or try having a procedure. #NormalisingPlay

It's genuinely mad how many people can be persuaded to go to bat for the interests of the wealthy & powerful but if people turn out to protest for the oppressed our press & the usual meatheads crucify them.
