@GalleyBeggars Great post, interesting seeing it from a press' perspective. I wrote something similar breaking down the costs for a small self published run, so many costs like ISBN & barcodes caught me off guard. chrisleefrancis.com/how-much-does-…

Sometimes I proper think about how Our book will be 5yrs old in a couple of months, and folks are still recommending it like it came out yesterday. 🥹 That’s no small thing to me, especially knowing what I now know about the average lifespan of a picture book. 😮‍💨 Thank you. 💚

As part of our protecting our seas project P1/2 have been inspired by Rocket from Clean Up. Just like Rocket, the children created their own fish sculpture to collect litter in to make sure it doesn’t end up in the sea. @DapsDraws @NathanBryon @EdinburghLfS #DalmenySHINES

Do you know how wild it is to basically say you can’t trust disabled people with money and give them vouchers instead? The infantilisation is ridiculous

I'm interested that the q. of safety for Jews in London has been raised. People from Jewish organisations have eg interrupted one of my talks for children with political heckling, talked on soc media about our family home and in threatening terms about seeing me on the street.

There’s a hidden undercurrent of evangelical xtianity of ‘taming savages’ and is why it was & is spread. When white couples LIKE THEM adopt Black babies, they subconsciously seek to erase their personhood bc they see Blackness as something that has to be tamed and domesticated.

The reason why you don’t see police at a white supremacist rally is the same reason you don’t see Clark Kent and Superman in the same place.
