Esto es una auténtica vergüenza. Este año nos quedamos sin la Feria del Libro Antiguo de Salamanca, un referente nacional. El Ayuntamiento se ha empeñado en sacarla de la Plaza Mayor (lo mismo es pq perjudica a la hostelería, que es la que ocupa ese espacio público)

They act like there’s any debate to be had. Human beings, though we stray a little wider than most, and though we’re still figuring out how to work our human magic while coexisting with nature, are still part of nature. (1/2)
