This platform is owned by a fascist and run by Nazi apologists. We’re out.
Find us in the other places, find us in the real world.

Edinburgh's Radical Book Fair, hosted by @Lighthousebks returns to @AssemblyRoxy 5-9th November, just over 2 weeks away.
It's a phenomenal 4 days of events & stalls, worth an Edinburgh weekend if you're not local, or it is all hybrid!
