How about this Pride month, reading lists focus on the businesses and writers who don't run away when there's a "chill" in the air? SMALL PRESSES and INDIE WRITERS are *right here*. In plain sight. And. Always. Have. Been.

The UK is getting crazier in its defense of Israel. Now it's canceling the visas of mainstream normie political pundits for criticizing the state of Israel, and investigating people for antisemitic hate crimes when they denounce Zionists who aren’t even Jewish.

This is a good article about the real impact that this week's budget will have. It's from a bookshop perspective, but the truth is, it will have a negative impact on every small retailer.
The Booksellers Association (BA) has expressed "real concern" about the business rates reform outlined in this week’s Autumn Budget, warning it could catalyse "a deluge of increased costs" for already hamstrung bookshops👇
