And if I may be so bold as to recommend some non-fiction though that’s not what you asked for, I highly recommend Theory of Water. If you don’t read it, I think this podcast discussing the book is well worth a listen

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

…. and … is Keir starmer’s comment in response to the election results that “we need to deliver our agenda faster” directly translated as “we’re very happy to have farage as the next prime minister” — yes …? 🧐🧐🥴

Intriguing how frequently the word “ideology” is now used in“public/media chit/chat” …. (especially US/UK). And so badly/wrongly🤬… it’s kind of hilarious (😩) when a politician or councillor says “let’s get ideology out of politics!” Erm …..🫤

As David Graeber said (paraphrased) & Birmingham proves: if nurses, mechanics, garbage collectors vanish, the effects will be catastrophic; without teachers, dock-workers, science-fiction writers we'd be lessened; without private equity CEOs, lobbyists, telemarketers & bailiffs things would improve.

I think most of who have worked in writing or entertainment know that piracy is a fact of life, and has been for a long time now.

But there’s a difference between a broke student downloading a PDF of your book, and a multibillion dollar company stealing your work for its own bullshit purposes.
