Read this horrifying story. Hettie will be here to discuss this at our book launch on the 20th of April www.bookhausbristol.com/events/#e150...

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum? There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.

THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF LOVE - currently tantalising customers in @bookhaus.bsky.social in advance of its launch on Monday! 📚 #BookSky @srlpublishing.bsky.social @julieacrisp.bsky.social

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

It’s now been one whole week since the release of Fine Specimens and I’ve been so humbled by all the support. And last Tuesday’s launch party at @bookhaus.bsky.social with @jamieclarketype.bsky.social and the Letter Luvvers crew was amazing! Huge thanks to everyone who’s been supportive of the book.

Hey @bookhaus.bsky.social book group pals! More EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE!

Karl Marx died on 14 March 1883. In my new book, I set out to illustrate the utility of Marx’s method as well as of his concrete theorisations by putting my understanding of them to work in analysing contemporary events and issues. www.versobooks.com/products/337...

I’m not normally that person but…. It’s really annoying that Democracy for Sale a has hardly been credited anywhere in last 24 hours for breaking story of Labour Together paying to spy on journalists *almost two weeks* ago Hadn’t expected Tory press office to be the exception!

We are too integrated into American tech to do all of this right now, but we have switched from Spotify to Qobuz for our music streaming. They pay the highest royalties to musicians, have the highest quality sound, and cost about the same www.qobuz.com/gb-en/discover

Ordering a stack of these. If you want to understand why the USA is attacking Venezuela and stealing it's oil this is a good place to start
