I’ll be talking about THE ASSET CLASS at @bookhaus.bsky.social in Bristol this coming Monday: tickets are available online www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/boo...

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

We are getting there but a fair to go still. Help us get to 50% before we enter the final two weeks! We need a space like this in Newcastle!

These stories are 7 years apart. It not only illustrates Marx’s theory of capital as a “vampire” (literally), but also how it progressively erodes working-class life:

“Accumulation of wealth at one pole is…at the same time accumulation of misery…at the opposite pole.”

I actually have a Kindle so I can read at night without turning the light on and waking my partner, but this is a disgrace from Amazon www.techradar.com/tablets/erea.... Real books will never do this to you

And he'll be at bookhaus on the 29th of June talking to Jonathan Porritt. share.google/PofQjtMvtKYm...

If you find this interesting you may want to come along to our launch event in June www.bookhausbristol.com/events/#e149...

Read this horrifying story. Hettie will be here to discuss this at our book launch on the 20th of April www.bookhausbristol.com/events/#e150...

Ever wonder why most of the media provide wall-to-wall coverage of everything the far right does or says, while ignoring far bigger rallies and events and far more interesting discussions elsewhere on the political spectrum?
There's no mystery. It's because they want the far right to triumph.

We are keen to host a launch here

THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF LOVE - currently tantalising customers in @bookhaus.bsky.social in advance of its launch on Monday! 📚 #BookSky
@srlpublishing.bsky.social @julieacrisp.bsky.social

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Author Heather Child on social media, AI and her home city as an inspiring force ‘The People’s Republic of Love’ is published on March 31 by climate-positive SRL Publishing

A montage of photos in a bookshop for the Fine Specimens book launch event

It’s now been one whole week since the release of Fine Specimens and I’ve been so humbled by all the support. And last Tuesday’s launch party at @bookhaus.bsky.social with @jamieclarketype.bsky.social and the Letter Luvvers crew was amazing! Huge thanks to everyone who’s been supportive of the book.

Hey @bookhaus.bsky.social book group pals! More EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE!

Hell yeah! I'm excited for this

The Story of Capital For decades, David Harvey has been teaching Marx's work, particularly Capital, to great acclaim. He has analysed chapter by chapter - sometimes line-by-line - Marx's three volumes and the Grundrisse. ...

Karl Marx died on 14 March 1883.

In my new book, I set out to illustrate the utility of Marx’s method as well as of his concrete theorisations by putting my understanding of them to work in analysing contemporary events and issues.

We're also celebrating by giving all the women here the day off and having the men work instead.

Our staff recommendations for

Happy International Women's Day! As with every year, we're celebrating by reminding people that this day was invented and celebrated by Socialists, and we should not forget it's origins.

"Vladimir Lenin declared 8 March as International Women's Day in 1922 to honour the women's role in the 1917

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski
