Lovely to see two ⁦‪@oneworldbooks.bsky.social novels featured in ⁦‪@guardian’s‬⁩ “Books to Look out for in 2026”, @TayariJones' Kin, the long-anticipated follow-up to @womensprize.bsky.social ‬⁩winner, AnAmericanMarriage, & Deepa Anappara’s The Last of Earth, set in the Forbidden Kingdom of Tibet.

BBC Culture: 12 books you need to read in 2026 - Last of Earth “a thrilling and profound tale of secret personal ambition set against the backdrop of colonialist expansion. A proper page-turner.’” & Fruit Fly “Sharp, dark and humorous, it's a real nailbiter.” Both from @oneworldbooks.bsky.social!

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Holocaust Museum in LA posted a graphic about Never Again… a humane gesture by an institution tasked with reminding us of the inhumanities of the past. They had to remove it & applogise because some thought this Never Again means Palestinians too! They mistakenly thought Palestinians are humans…
