Happy publication day to Keeping the House.

Words on hiding in plain sight, set around and away from the north London heroin trade. Supermarket academics. The way cPTSD can spin time from us. Cabbages.
Grateful. With @andothertweets and shot by Richard Dixon, lostintottenham.

Earlier this year, Sarah Chihaya was diagnosed with MSA—a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Right now, she can no longer read or write—this will be her last piece. And it's a brilliant one about Emily Brontë and unknowability. thenation.com/article/cultur…

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.
Hamaguchi’s All of a Sudden is deeply human. A film made to show that hope is when we know it is always possible. I warmed to it so much, beautiful sun washed cinematography…It leaves you absolutely aware that the best type of care is care that grows towards someone as they are

SALES OF SALLY ROONEY BOOKS SURGE IN THE NORTH OF IRELAND AFTER PUBLISHER STOPS DISTRIBUTION: @IrishTimes @SeaninGraham22
The Irish Times are reporting this morning that there has been a surge locally in the sales of Sally Rooney Books following the decision by her publisher to stop distribution of her books in Britain and the North of Ireland due to her support for Palestine Action.
The Belfast Independent Bookstore "No Alibis" (on Botanic Avenue) ran out of her books at 11am yesterday morning (Friday).
Other independent local stores who are continuing to sell her book include:
@LittleAcornsBks (Derry)
@BridgeBooksDro1 (Dromore)

several independent bookshops in the North of Ireland including No Alibis in Belfast and Bridge Books (@BridgeBooksDro1) are continuing to source and sell Sally Rooney’s books because they stand on the right side of history and not with the regressive, authoritarian laws and legislation of the British state
they are able to do this because the North has dual access to both UK and EU markets (thanks Brexit) and can order books through Irish distributors (Argosy etc) meaning that they are technically operating outside UK jurisdiction (any revenue made off Sally’s books in this case would be Irish revenue / sales)
so hypothetically, if there was an owner of an independent bookshop in Britain who wants to put two fingers up to the British government and this ridiculous law, you could do what the bookshops here are doing and source Sally’s books through those same Irish distributors…
just a thought…
and sure if you’d like to tag your local bookshop below / share this post, and if they want or need advice or more clarity about this… I know a guy, that’s all I’m saying

Sally Rooney's books can no longer be sold in Britain due to her support for Palestine Action.
She refused to withdraw her support for the direct action group which targeted the Israeli arms industry, costing her the royalties from all of her UK sales.

Anne Carson asks what it meant to write on the sky; in my context, the question becomes, What does it mean to live beneath a sky turned into a weapon?
