I'd like to quote Bertrand Russell in these perilous times, "Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom." 1/2

What does Trump have against Harvard University!? Is it perchance that they refused to endorse his candidacy!? Cor blimey, guv'nor.

Always pay forward. Never look back. And please try not to judge.

I finally deactivated my x account. I'm sad to leave some good people behind, but I'm no longer willing to put up with the amount of bile spouted out there.

My post on x, fb, insta and now here.
Anyone who sides with the USA administration's treatment of President Zelensky, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Trump says he doesn't like being disresprected? He disrespected himself by slaughtering a poor man's lamb to preserve the flocks of the rich men.

After yesterday's events what will be Europe's next move? More shuffling of feet or a clear signal to Trump administration that they have gone too far?
The wheels are coming off, everyone.

A book lover’s paradise opens in Edinburgh, this Thursday, and you’re invited!

The Radical Book Fair transforms Assembly Roxy into a flea market of ideas both on stage & off: book stalls share the space with community groups, cosy nooks to read & sofas for conversations with pals.

Why don’t councillors realise why libraries are so important? I’m in one in Aberdeen at the moment. It’s warm - while it’s freezing outside - it’s busy, has lots of interesting new books available, a selection of newspapers, and it’s a community. Which really matters! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Aberdeenshire library campaigners say closures 'not consulted on'
Reasons given for closing the sites included low usage and buildings no longer being suitable.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
