British Library staff asked for a decent pay. Instead they got ‘a few money-saving present ideas’, such as ‘consider not giving presents this holiday season’. They are on strike this week. I wrote about it for @lrb.co.uk. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/de...

Scrolling through social media is exactly like scrolling through TV channels except there's no actual programmes for you to settle on. Just endless adverts produced by everyone else. Get offline. Get your life back.

Hey, doing this little event as I always wanted to support a much needed place & incredible people that run it. This will most likely be the last UK public event I'll do for the long foreseeable future so it's a nice place to end things 😊
