Can you help by sharing or chipping in a few pounds/dollars/euro etc? Reading for pleasure is in real trouble and one of the blockers is access to recent, relevant books for kids that aren't tatty. If they can raise 1k euro they can get a book for every kid in the school #Booksky #KidLit

I've set up a fundraiser to help stock my kid's school with new library books. These aren't text books but books the children can read for pleasure. Maybe you aren't in a position to donate right now but, if not, could you please help by sharing? Thank you! #speirgorm #BookSky gofund.me/55e46e8ca

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

A message below from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza. She relies on our donations to take care of her family and raise funds to flee. Please give to Tasneem. No amount is too small. And help others, if you're able. There are many Gazans in need. 🙏 chuffed.org/project/1587...

"In Gaza, we have been forced to accept the unimaginable. Your support helps my family stay safe, put food on the table, and survive through these incredibly difficult days."Tasneem's youngest daughter. Alma.

What if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.
