Short stories are so under-rated! When good (as Tom's are!) they are a delightful way to provoke, entertain and amuse!
Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.”
Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

People should be paid what their work is worth!

By coming together in union, we can fix the long-standing undervaluation of our skilled and complex work that has kept our wages too low. Fair pay means secure jobs, less turnover, better services and...

I just tried this as a method of sending a book to someone in America myself, and Blackwell's also knocked a pound off at checkout.
£9.86, once the tax had been added, to send a brand new book from the UK to America.
Royal Mail would have cost around £20, plus the price of the book.
Astonishing.

2000+ Americans have bought this book on import from the UK. Many of them have told me they love it.
Meanwhile, the UK publishing industry: "I am sorry. We can't sell this book to an American audience. They will find it too British."

Hey—can anyone think of a political journalist and Trump biographer who recently wrote a big thread on how dangerous it is to not meet head on declarations by Trump that America owns things it doesn't? I seem to recall he had his ass handed to him and was told he was overreacting

A worried goat who dropped its credit card during a walk, didn't realise for a full hour, had to retrace its steps and has just asked me, rather forlornly, if I have spotted it anywhere during my travels.

Getting big money out of politics starts with making sure lobbyists are not given greater access than ordinary voters and members of the public! Check out this new petition and action plan from GetUp:
Canberra's not for sale – demand a National Lobbying Act
Nine corporate lobbyists for every politician, and most aren't even on the register. Sign the petition to end secret corporate lobbying in Canberra.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes.
Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich.
It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

The biggest untold story about how we pay for government involves a big switcheroo by America’s wealthy. Watch.
