The other takeaway from what's happening at WaPo is that there are at least 300,000 Americans out there who were paying ~$100 a year or more for a media outlet to hold the powerful accountable. That's a huge, documented audience with enough money to support a new media outlet.

I’m in my first D&D campaign since being diagnosed with OCD and taking medication. It’s incredible how much more enjoyable and free flowing it is now. I thought everyone was just driven to panic trying to make all the right choices.

Solarpunk gets a bad rap, but I'm hard pressed to think of another contemporary genre that's actually imagining hopeful futures.

Everything else just seems to assume that Things Will Continue to Get Worse (and frankly, I don't know if I can blame them)

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.

They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.

Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .

Thank you.
