New York Times, November 23, 1924: “The automobile looms up as a far more destructive piece of mechanism than the machine gun. The reckless motorist deals more death than the artilleryman. … Immediate action [is necessary] to halt the homicidal orgy of the automobile.”

If it’s voted in, the sponsor of the fast-tracked legalised assisted suicide bill here would pick who’s in the committee to scrutinise it.
How many of those politicians will be millionaires, politely discussing how to coerce disabled, poor, depressed people into overdosing due to circumstances.

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?
what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?
what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?
what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Information should be free. Not everyone on earth has tons of money to spend on books. Let the people read cause otherwise it perpetuates classism and ignorance. The likes of which, as you may know...has been elected president.

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
Thank you.
